1. A method of displaying data on a display device, the method comprising:
- receiving image data having a number of pixels, the image data comprising particular spatial frequencies in a first dimension capable of being displayed on the display device and the particular spatial frequencies in a second dimension capable of being displayed on the display device;
estimating a remaining lifetime of a power supply;
setting filter parameters based on the estimated remaining lifetime of the power supply, wherein values of the filter parameters are increased as the estimated lifetime of the power supply decreases;
filtering the received image data using the filter parameters such that the particular spatial frequencies in the first dimension are smoothed more than the particular spatial frequencies in the second dimension are smoothed; and
displaying the filtered image data on the display device, the filtered image data having the same number of pixels as the received image data.

Abstract
A system and method for processing image data to be displayed on a display device, where the display device requires more power to be driven to display image data comprising particular spatial frequencies in one dimension than to be driven to display image data comprising the particular spatial frequencies in a second dimension. The method includes receiving image data and filtering the received image data such that the image data at particular spatial frequencies in a first dimension are attenuated more than the image data at particular spatial frequencies in a second dimension.
