Abstract:
A method for controlling power consumption in a tilt correcting coil of a monitor connected to a computer, said method comprising the steps of:determining whether synchronization signals are received by said monitor from said computer;operating said monitor in an on-state mode of a power supply mode of a display power management system (DPMS) when it is determined that said synchronization signals are received by said monitor;providing a tilt correcting pulse width modulated signal to said tilt correcting coil when operating said monitor in said on-state mode;operating said monitor in one of a suspend mode, a standby mode and a power-off mode of said power supply mode when it is determined that said synchronization signals are not received by said monitor; andpreventing said tilt correcting pulse width modulated signal from being provided to said tilt correcting coil when operating said monitor in said one of said suspend, standby and power-off modes.
