1. Operating Precautions
1) Since front polarizer is easily damaged, please be cautious not to scratch it.
2) Be sure to turn off power supply when inserting or disconnecting from input connector.
3) Wipe off water drop immediately. Long contact with water may cause discoloration or spots.
4) When the panel surface is soiled, wipe it with absorbent cotton or soft cloth.
5) Since the panel is made of glass, it may be broken or cracked if dropped or bumped on hard
surface.
6) To avoid ESD (Electro Static Discharde) damage, be sure to ground yourself before handling
TFT-LCD Module.
7) Do not open nor modify the module assembly.
8) Do not press the reflector sheet at the back of the module to any direction.
9) In case if a module has to be put back into the packing container slot after it was taken out
from the container, do not press the center of the LED Reflector edge. Instead, press at the
far ends of the LED Reflector edge softly. Otherwise the TFT Module may be damaged.
10) At the insertion or removal of the Signal Interface Connector, be sure not to rotate nor tilt the
Interface Connector of the TFT Module.
11) After installation of the TFT Module into an enclosure (Notebook PC Bezel, for example), do
not twist nor bend the TFT Module even momentary. At designing the enclosure, it should be
taken into consideration that no bending/twisting forces are applied to the TFT Module from
outside. Otherwise the TFT Module may be damaged.
12) Small amount of materials having no flammability grade is used in the LCD module. The LCD
module should be supplied by power complied with requirements of Limited Power Source
(IEC60950 or UL1950), or be applied exemption.
13) Severe temperature condition may result in different luminance, response time.
14) Continuous operating TFT-LCD Module under high temperature environment may accelerate
LED light bar exhaustion and reduce luminance dramatically.
15) The data on this specification sheet is applicable when LCD module is placed in landscape
position.
16) Continuous displaying fixed pattern may induce image sticking. It is recommended to use
screen saver or shuffle content periodically if fixed pattern is displayed on the screen.

Note 2
Definition of contrast ratio (CR):
Note 3: Definition of response time:
The output signals of photo detector are measured when the input signals are changed from “White” to “Black”
(falling time) and from “Black” to “White” (rising time), respectively. The response time interval is between 10% and
90% of amplitudes. Please refer to the figure as below.
Note 4: Definition of viewing angle
Viewing angle is the measurement of contrast ratio 10, at the screen center, over a 18 horizontal and 180°
vertical range (off-normal viewing angles). The 180° viewing angle range is broken down as below: 90° (θ)
horizontal left and right, and 9 (Φ) vertical high (up) and low (down). The measurement direction is typically
perpendicular to the display surface with the screen rotated to its center to develop the desired
measurement
viewing angle.

11.1 Sharp Edge Requirements
There will be no sharp edges or corners on the display assembly that could cause injury.
11.2 Materials
11.2.1 Toxicity
There will be no carcinogenic materials used anywhere in the display module. If toxic materials are
used, they will be reviewed and approved by the responsible AUO toxicologist.
11.2.2 Flammability
All components including electrical components that do not meet the flammability grade UL94-V1 in the
module will complete the flammability rating exception approval process.
The pRxINted circuit board will be made from material rated 94-V1 or better. The actual UL
flammability rating will be pRxINted on the pRxINted circuit board.
11.3 Capacitors
If any polarized capacitors are used in the display assembly, provisions will be made to keep them from
being inserted backwards.
11.4 National Test Lab Requirement
The display module will satisfy all requirements for compliance to:
