minus-squarenew_guy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33·1 year agoIt kinda does if your screen is OLED. The black pixels are actually turned off on OLED screens. On other type of screens - like LCD - the backlight is always turned on
minus-squareKnusper@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·1 year agoYep, but then we are talking about actually black backgrounds, which is normally a big no-no in UI design.
minus-squareViper_NZ@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoA black pixel in an LCD is in the ‘on’ position with voltage applied. So dark mode uses more power on an LCD, though the number is small.
minus-squareWhatASave@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoTrue, but I’ve heard it’s still negligible and almost every dark mode is dark, not pure black.
