Display Power Management (DPM) Standard
Release A
March 3, 2003
Purpose:
To standardize on a common definition of low power states for the computer dis= play industry.
Summary:
Government agencies and independent organizations worldwide are involved in setting li= mits or goals for power consumption in office equipment. Desktop computers are one of the p= rimary targets for this effort. The display consumes a significant portion of the power used in a desktop compu= ter system

This document replaces the previous DPMS Standard Version 1.0 Revision 1.0, dated August = 20, 1993. This document will redefine the power state modes of operation. This new specification will reflect the current state of art for power management.
This document does not specify the criteria for enteri= ng into or out of power management states; it does specify the signaling method used to enter these states. This document is based on the VESA DPMS Standar= d Ver. 1.0 Rev. 1.0.
DPM is intended to be independent of computer platform= and operating systems.
This standard applies to all synchronization (sync) fo= rmats: separate horizontal and vertical sync, composite sync, and sync on green.= p>
No programming interface is defined within this docume= nt.
