1. A method, comprising:
- (a) energizing, by a framework and at a first time, a first set of display elements in at least one display in accordance with a first value in a set of display parameters;
(b) determining, by a framework, at a later second time, and based on a first value of a sensed electronic storage device (ESD) parameter, to reduce energy usage of the first set of display elements;
(c) in response to step (b), energizing, by the framework, the first set of display elements in accordance with a second value in the set of display parameters, the first and second values in the set of display parameters being different, whereby a first level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements at the first time is more than a second level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (c);
(d) determining, by a framework, at a later third time, and based on a second value of a sensed ESD parameter, the first and second values of the sensed ESD parameter being different, to reduce further energy usage of the first set of display elements; and
(e) in response to step (d), energizing, by the framework, the first set of display elements in accordance with a third value in the set of display parameters, the second and third values in the set of display parameters being different, whereby a third level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (e) is less than the second level of energy/unit area used by the first display elements in response to the energizing step (c).
