-  The maximum power consumption is measured using 85 Hz 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 7-1) 
-  The Typical power consumption is measured using 85 Hz waveform with following pattern transition: 
from horizontal 4 gray scale pattern to vertical 4 gray scale pattern. (Note 7-2) 
-  The standby power is the consumed power when the panel controller is in standby mode.
