1. A system, comprising:
an electronic display configured to be powered off as part of a suppression operation;
a condition pre-processor that, while the electronic display is powered off, generates a first signal that indicates that the electronic display is predicted to be visible at a future time; and
processing circuitry that:
determines to suppress the electronic display;
generates one or more control signals to power off the electronic display and to disable touch sensing based on the determination to suppress the electronic display, wherein a first control signal of the one or more control signals is configured to cause a power supply to remove a first power amount from the electronic display;
sends the first control signal to the power supply;
receives the first signal from the condition pre-processor; and
returns the first power amount to the electronic display based on the first signal before the predicted future time.
