Light on dark color schemes require less energy to display on OLED displays. This positively impacts battery life and reduces energy consumption. [16]While an OLED will consume around 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an image that is primarily black, it can use more than three times as much power to display an image with a white background, such as a document or web site.
