1.0 Handling Precautions
1) Since front polarizer is easily damaged, pay attention 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 other soft cloth.
5) Since the panel is made of glass, it may break or crack if dropped or bumped on hard surface.
6) Since CMOS LSI is used in this module, take care of static electricity and insure human earth
when handling.
7) Do not open or modify the Module Assembly.
8) Do not press the reflector sheet at the back of the module to any directions.
9) In case if a Module has to be put back into the packing container slot after once 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) TFT-LCD Module is not allowed to be twisted & bent even force is added on module in a very
short time. Please design your display product well to avoid external force applying to module
by end-user directly.
12) Small amount of materials without flammability grade are used in the TFT-LCD module. The
TFT-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 TFT-LCD module is placed in
landscape position.
16) Continuous displaying fixed pattern may induce image sticking. It’s recommended to use
screen saver or moving content periodically if fixed pattern is displayed on the screen.

Note 1: Measurement method
The LCD module should be stabilized at given temperature for 30 minutes to avoid abrupt
temperature change during measuring (at surface 35 oC). In order to stabilize the luminance, the
measurement should be executed after lighting Backlight for 30 minutes in a stable, windless and
dark room.
Note 2: Definition of viewing angle measured by ELDIM (EZContrast 88)
Viewing angle is the measurement of contrast ratio 10 and 5, at the screen center, over a 180°
horizontal and 180° vertical range (off-normal viewing angles). The 180° viewing angle range is
broken down as follows; 90° (θ) horizontal left and right and 90° (Φ) vertical, high (up) and low
(down). The measurement direction is typically perpendicular to the display surface with the screen
rotated about its center to develop the desired measurement viewing angle.

The output signals of photo detector are measured when the input signals are changed from “Full
Black” to “Full White” (rising time, TrR), and from “Full White” to “Full Black” (falling time, TfF),
respectively. The response time is interval between the 10% and 90% (1 frame at 60 Hz) of
