Each of the pixels is actually a little shining eye which watches your every move. When the pixel’s eyelid closes, that pixel turns black. That’s why they call it putting a display “to sleep.”

Some displays are implemented with dual-eyelid technology for the blackest of blacks. Naturally, like all genius engineering, we see this in nature: cats.
