SCHEDULE 19 Ecodesign requirements for electronic displays

Energy efficiency requirements

Energy efficiency index limits for on-mode

2.—(1) The energy efficiency index (EEI) of an electronic display must be calculated using the following equation—

(2) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)—

(a) A represents the screen area in dm²;

(b) P_measured is the measured power in Watts in on mode in the normal configuration, in standard dynamic range (SDR);

(c) tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function;

(d) corr is—

(i) for displays placed on the market before 1 March 2023, a correction factor of 10 for OLED electronic displays that do not apply the ABC allowance in paragraph 3;

(ii) zero in all other cases.

(3) The EEI of an electronic display must not, from the dates specified in Table 31, exceed the maximum EEI (“EEI_max”) in accordance with the limits in that Table.

(4) The declared values of the on mode power (P_measured) and viewing surface area (A) in the technical documentation must be used for the calculation of EEI.
