In this paper we discuss the benefits that can be realized by phosphorescent OLED technology for low power consumption high color gamut displays. We show that relative to LCD based displays, the higher the display color gamut, the more OLED displays have a power consumption advantage over LCDs, enabling high performance displays for laptops. Based on Intel's day in life PC usage model, our simulation shows that DCI‐P3 and 97% BT2020 color profiles will deliver 13% and 18% improvement respectively in battery life for OLEDs versus equivalent LCDs.
