Yes, the USBC-PDMON can be powered solely by a USB Type-C connection to the host device. However, that USB Type-C connection must be capable of providing 15W of power in order for the monitor to work.
 

Why the Monitor May Require an External Power Source

Small devices, such as phones or tablets, may not be able to provide the necessary 15W of power through their USB-C ports.
 

How to Power the Monitor Without Sufficient Host Power

If the host device cannot provide 15W, the monitor must be powered by an external power source. This can be achieved by using a charger that supports USB Power Delivery at a minimum of 15W.
