- The maximum power consumption is measured using 85Hz waveform with following pattern transition:
from pattern of repeated 1 consecutive black scan lines followed by 1 consecutive white scan line to that
of repeated 1 consecutive white scan lines followed by 1 consecutive black scan lines (Note 6-1).
- The Typical power consumption is measured using 85Hz waveform with following pattern transition: from
horizontal 4 grey scale pattern to vertical 4 grey scale patterns (Note 6-2).
