Abstract: OLED screens require more energy than most other components of a device. Since OLED screens use less energy when displaying dark displays (i.e., dark images, videos, backgrounds), dark mode options found in web applications are helpful in reducing energy consumption from OLED displays. Dark mode options are difficult forms of optimization as the option may provide a better feel, but the images and other static icons show more difficult contrasts. Previous studies have tackled this user experience problem with experimental dark mode styles; however, hardware and visual appeal limits how well dark mode functions for certain tasks. In this paper, we tackle the problems in dark mode options that cause contrast issues, which will, consequently, improve battery longevity in OLED devices.
