Microview current draw @ 5V?

Hi all,
I haven't found it on a datasheet yet. What is the Microview's current draw when powered by 5V?
I realize that it's dependent on OLED activity, but what's typical / worst case ?
Thanks!

Hi Schema,
Display off, about 3uA
50% Display on about 11-13mA
100% Display on about 18mA
The current draw also depending on what is connected to MicroView, the efficiency of the loop().

Oh, that's excellent, thanks.
I have an idea for an embedded application that only had 100mA current available - looks like I'll have tons of margin. Will try it this weekend. Thanks!
