A method comprising: detecting a static mode in an emissive display, wherein detecting the static mode comprises detecting that the input signals for the emissive display have not changed for a period of time; in response to detecting the static mode, mapping input signals to adjusted signals for a plurality of emissive elements of the emissive display based on magnitudes of the input signals; and in response to detecting the static mode, applying the adjusted signals to selectively dim output of the plurality of emissive elements, wherein mapping the input signals to the adjusted signals for the plurality of emissive elements includes applying multiple thresholds to map the input signals to the adjusted signals, characterized in that applying multiple thresholds includes: applying a lower threshold T1 below which the input signals are mapped to adjusted signals of zero; applying a first threshold range T1-T2 between which the input signals are mapped to first adjusted signals based on a first mapping, where T2 is greater than T1; and applying a second threshold range T2-T3 between which the input signals are mapped to second adjusted signals based on a second mapping, wherein the second mapping is different than the first mapping, where T3 is greater than T2, such that the ratio between the input signals in the first threshold range to the first adjusted signals is greater than the ratio between the input signals in the second threshold range to the second adjusted signals such that the emissive elements associated with the input signals in the second threshold range are not dimmed as much as those emissive elements associated with the input signals in the first threshold range. detecting a static mode in an emissive display, wherein detecting the static mode comprises detecting that the input signals for the emissive display have not changed for a period of time; in response to detecting the static mode, mapping input signals to adjusted signals for a plurality of emissive elements of the emissive display based on magnitudes of the input signals; and in response to detecting the static mode, applying the adjusted signals to selectively dim output of the plurality of emissive elements, wherein mapping the input signals to the adjusted signals for the plurality of emissive elements includes applying multiple thresholds to map the input signals to the adjusted signals, characterized in that applying multiple thresholds includes: applying a lower threshold T1 below which the input signals are mapped to adjusted signals of zero; applying a first threshold range T1-T2 between which the input signals are mapped to first adjusted signals based on a first mapping, where T2 is greater than T1; and applying a second threshold range T2-T3 between which the input signals are mapped to second adjusted signals based on a second mapping, wherein the second mapping is different than the first mapping, where T3 is greater than T2, such that the ratio between the input signals in the first threshold range to the first adjusted signals is greater than the ratio between the input signals in the second threshold range to the second adjusted signals such that the emissive elements associated with the input signals in the second threshold range are not dimmed as much as those emissive elements associated with the input signals in the first threshold range. applying a lower threshold T1 below which the input signals are mapped to adjusted signals of zero; applying a first threshold range T1-T2 between which the input signals are mapped to first adjusted signals based on a first mapping, where T2 is greater than T1; and applying a second threshold range T2-T3 between which the input signals are mapped to second adjusted signals based on a second mapping, wherein the second mapping is different than the first mapping, where T3 is greater than T2, such that the ratio between the input signals in the first threshold range to the first adjusted signals is greater than the ratio between the input signals in the second threshold range to the second adjusted signals such that the emissive elements associated with the input signals in the second threshold range are not dimmed as much as those emissive elements associated with the input signals in the first threshold range.
