In the ever-evolving world of technology, Intel and BOE are taking significant strides toward enhancing laptop battery life through cutting-edge display technology. With a focus on power efficiency, these innovations are set to transform the way users experience their devices, merging energy-saving techniques with high-quality visual performance. The collaboration between Intel and BOE promises a future where laptop displays intelligently adapt to optimize both power consumption and viewing experience.
Innovative Display Technologies Announced
Last year, BOE revealed its groundbreaking Winning Display 1Hz technology, which is capable of cutting power usage by 65%. Now, Intel has officially partnered with BOE to integrate this 1Hz Refresh Rate technology along with two additional features aimed at further boosting battery efficiency. These AI-driven advancements are designed to maintain excellent image quality while significantly extending battery life. Intel and BOE’s collaboration introduces an intelligent balance between power efficiency and visual excellence, marking a new era for laptop displays.
Over the past decade, Intel and BOE have worked together to launch a number of innovative energy-saving technologies and solutions that have significantly extended the battery life of laptops. This allows users to enjoy entertainment and work efficiently for longer periods of time without having to charge frequently. We will promote the development of display technology and solutions by pioneering more usage models, and jointly improve the PC user experience. (Machine Translated)

BOE is a leading display manufacturer recognized for its production of LCD, micro LED, and OLED panels, accounting for roughly 30% of global LCD screen production. Their 1Hz display innovation is being deployed to cut power consumption by activating when static content is displayed, reducing unnecessary refreshes.
Dynamic Features for Enhanced Power Savings
Intel plans to leverage Multi-Frequency Display (MFD) technology, which intelligently synchronizes with the operating system and Intel GPU to tailor refresh rates as needed. This system will assess content in real-time, adjusting frequencies to conserve power without compromising on performance. For instance, static elements like a taskbar will benefit from lower refresh rates, while playing a video will prompt a higher frequency.
Additionally, SmartPower HDR technology will regulate display voltages by adjusting brightness levels, optimizing power usage when HDR mode is active. By dimming backlights in darker areas, this feature significantly reduces energy consumption. This technology was showcased at the Intel Tech Tour 2025.
In the process of cooperation with Intel, BOE has achieved fruitful results with its own innovative advantages in the display field. The solution jointly created by the two parties not only reduces notebook power consumption, but also improves visual clarity and adaptability, achieving a balance between energy efficiency and excellent experience. Today, these breakthroughs driven by display technology will open up new usage scenarios, allowing PCs to more flexibly meet various needs and lay a solid foundation for the development of the AI PC era.
