The power consumption of a monochrome LCD screen is primarily related to the backlight system. Specifically:

Number of backlight LEDs: The power consumption of the backlight system is mainly determined by the number of LEDs in the backlight. More LEDs result in higher power consumption. For example, if each LED consumes 15mA, then three LEDs would consume a total of 45mA.

LCD screen type: Different types of LCD screens have significantly different backlight system power consumption.

Reflective LCD screens: These have the lowest power consumption because they achieve display by reflecting external light sources, reducing reliance on additional light sources.

Semi-transmissive LCD screens: Power consumption falls between reflective and transmissive types.

Transmissive LCD screens: These have the highest power consumption. To ensure good display quality, they typically require a larger number of backlight LEDs.

Therefore, when selecting and optimizing a monochrome LCD screen, the backlight system configuration needs to be comprehensively considered to achieve optimal energy efficiency.
