A system for optimizing warm-up time of a display device, comprising: a display device comprising: a display substrate configured to display at least one image on a front surface of the display substrate, the display substrate including a first display zone and at least one additional display zone (312b, 312c); and one or more heating layers coupled to the display substrate, the one or more heating layers including a first heating layer portion and at least one additional heating layer portion; and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more heating layers via one or more electrical couplings, the controller configured to: generate one or more control signals configured to generate a first electrical current within the first heating layer portion in order to increase a temperature of the first display zone of the display substrate; generate one or more control signals configured to generate at least one additional, second electrical current within the at least one additional heating layer portion in order to increase a temperature of the at least one additional display zone of the display substrate; receive a display warm-up request at a first time; generate the one or more control signals configured to generate the first electrical current at the first time in response to the display warm-up request; and determine whether the temperature of the first display zone exceeds a temperature threshold at a second time subsequent to the first time; the system characterized in that, when the temperature of the first display zone exceeds the temperature threshold at the second time, the controller is configured to: generate the one or more control signals configured to generate the second electrical current at the second time; and generate one or more control signals configured to terminate the first electrical current at the second time. a display device comprising: a display substrate configured to display at least one image on a front surface of the display substrate, the display substrate including a first display zone and at least one additional display zone (312b, 312c);
