Comment on An OLED Mod For The Original Steam Deck Is Being Made - Steam Deck HQ
Stampela@startrek.website 3 weeks agoMy understanding is that oleds are a weird beast. Since there’s no backlight, each pixel can be considered a small colored light, if you have a fully black screen, then it’s essentially off and not using any power. However, there are instances where the peak brightness is limited to a small portion of the screen, because blasting the entire thing of full brightness white would pass the power supply capacity…
That said, let me stress this: it’s my understanding. Not a hard fact, I might be wrong or just basing things on old information.

Yes you are correct. Peak brightness is a variable based on load.
As for power effeciency, I have no idea.
