3.4 Illumination Power Consumption

The power consumption of a DLP Pico projection system is primarily driven by the illumination source in the optical module and is typically measured in watts.

In the case of an RGB LED-illuminated optical module, the power consumption specification includes all three LEDs (red, green, and blue). The LEDs can be driven to a maximum current and temperature specified by the LED manufacturer. Total LED power consumption depends on the LED drive current as well as the designated duty cycle for each color.
