1. Operating Precautions

1) Since front polarizer is easily damaged, please be cautious and 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 light bar edge. Instead,

press at the far ends of the LED light bar 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 and lamp

ignition voltage.

14) Continuous operating TFT-LCD display under low temperature environment may accelerate

lamp 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’s recommended to use

screen saver or shuffle content periodically if fixed pattern is displayed on the screen.

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 6: Definition of viewing angle

Viewing angle is the measurement of contrast ratio 10, at the screen center, over a 180° horizontal an d ≧

180° vertical range (off-normal viewing angles). Th e 180° viewing angle range is broken down as below:

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 to its center to develop

11 Safety

11.1 Sharp Edge Requirements

There will be no sharp edges or comers 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 printed circuit board will be made from material rated 94-V1 or better. The actual UL

flammability rating will be printed on the printed 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:

UL 60950 U.S.A. Information Technology Equipment
