<p>The invention relates to a method for processing a video image sequence for a display device. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the display device, the method comprises a step of application of a video pattern (11) to each image (10) of the sequence, the pattern (11) being generated in a way to conserve the maximal luminous intensity in at least one area of the image on which the pattern is applied and to attenuate the luminous intensity in the rest of the image, the at least one area comprising at least one pixel.</p>
