Total Energy Consumption Calculation (kWh)
E_TEC=8.76 ×(0.35×P_ON+0.65×P_SLEEP)
Maximum Total Energy Consumption Calculation (kWh)
A < 190
(4.00×r)+(0.172×A)+ 1.50
190 ≤ A <210
(4.00×r)+(0.020×A)+30.40
210 ≤ A <315
(4.00×r)+(0.091×A)+15.40
A ≥ 315
(4.00 x r) + (0.182 x A) – 13.20
r is the screen resolution in megapixels
A is the Screen Area in in2
Total Energy Consumption Requirement (kWh)
E_TEC≤(E_(TEC_MAX)+E_EP+E_ABC+E_N+E_T+E_C+E_HDR+E_USB) ×eff_(AC_DC)
E_EP is the enhanced performance display allowance
E_ABC is the Automatic Brightness Control allowance
E_N is the Full Network Connectivity allowance
E_T is the Touch Functionality allowance
E_C is the curved Display allowance
E_HDR is the HDR Display allowance
E_USB is the allowance for Displays with USB-C Power Deliver functionality
eff_(AC_DC) is the standard adjustment for ac-dc power conversion losses that occur at the device powering the Display, and is 1.0 for Ac-powered Displays and 0.85 for Displays with Standard dc
Total Energy Consumption Allowances (kWh)
Enhanced performance display supporting a Color Gamut (G) of 32.9% of CIE LUV or greater.
((1.70 x G/100%) – 0.52) x E_TEC_MAX
Automatic Brightness Control Allowance
E_ABC=0.05×E_TEC_MAX
Full Network Connectivity Allowance
2.9
Touch Functionality Allowance
E_ABC=0.15×E_TEC_MAX
Curved Display Allowance
0.15xE_TEC_MAX
HDR Displays meeting the DisplayHDR CTS Tier 600 0.05 x E_TEC_MAX
HDR Displays meeting the DisplayHDR CTS Tier 1-00 0.10 x E_TEC_MAX
USB-C Power Delivery Allowance 2.75

SIGNAGE DISPLAYS

Maximum On Mode Calculation (W)
P_ON_MAX = (4.0×10^(-5) x ℓ ×A)+120×tanh(0.0005×(A-140.0)+0.03)+20
A = Screen Area in square inches
ℓ = Maximum Measured Luminance of the display in candelas per square meter
On Mode Requirement (W)
P_ON ≤ P_ON_MAX+P_ABC+P_Module
 P_ABC is the Measured On Mode Power allowance for ABC in watts
P_Module is the Measured On Mode Power allowance for embedded modules in watts
On Mode Allowances (W)
Automatic Brightness Control Allowance P_ABC=0.05×P_ON_MAX
Embedded Module Allowance 2.5
Maximum Sleep Mode Power Requirement (W)
0.5
Sleep Mode Requirement (W)
P_SLEEP ≤ P_SLEEP_MAX + P_N+ P_OS+P_T
P_N is the Full Network Connectivity allowance
P_OS is the Occupancy Sensor allowance
P_T is the Touch allowance for Signage Displays with screen size over 30 inches
Sleep Mode Allowances (W)
Full Network Connectivity Allowance
3
Occupancy Sensor Allowance
0.3
Touch Functionality Allowance
1.5


All displays with Off Mode must have measured power in Off Mode less than 0.5 W
