NEC does and will not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual
property rights of any third party arising out of or in connection with application of the products
described herein except for that directly attributable to mechanisms and workmanship thereof. No
license, express or implied, is granted under any patent, copyright or other intellectual property right of
NEC.
Some electronic parts/components would fail or malfunction at a certain rate. In spite of every effort to
enhance reliability of products by NEC, the possibility of failures and malfunction might not be avoided
entirely. To prevent the risks of damage to death, human bodily injury or other property arising out
thereof or in connection therewith, each customer is required to take sufficient measures in its safety
designs and plans including, but not limited to, redundant system, fire-containment and anti-failure.
The products are classified into three quality grades: "Standard", "Special", and "Specific" of the
highest grade of a quality assurance program at the choice of a customer. Each quality grade is designed
for applications described below. Any customer who intends to use a product for application other than
that of Standard quality grade is required to contact an NEC sales representative in advance.
The Standard quality grade applies to the products developed, designed and manufactured in
accordance with the NEC standard quality assurance program, which are designed for such application
as any failure or malfunction of the products (sets) or parts/components incorporated therein a customer
uses are, directly or indirectly, free of any damage to death, human bodily injury or other property, like
general electronic devices.
Examples: Computers, office automation equipment, communications equipment, test and
measurement equipment, audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine
tools, personal electronic equipment, industrial robots, etc.
The Special quality grade applies to the products developed, designed and manufactured in
accordance with an NEC quality assurance program stricter than the standard one, which are designed
for such application as any failure or malfunction of the products (sets) or parts/components
incorporated therein a customer uses might directly cause any damage to death, human bodily injury or
other property, or such application under more severe condition than that defined in the Standard quality
grade without such direct da m age.
Examples: Control systems for transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic
control systems, anti-disaster systems, anti-crime systems, medical equipment not
specifically designed for life support, safety equipment, etc.
The Specific quality grade applies to the products developed, designed and manufactured in
accordance with the standards or quality assurance program designated by a customer who requires an
extremely higher level of reliability and quality for such products.
Examples: Military systems, aircraft control equipment, aerospace equipment, nuclear reactor control
systems, medical equipment/devices/systems for life support, etc.
The quality grade of this product is the "Standard" unless otherwise specified in this document.

Note3: The power supply lines (VDDB and GNDB) may have ripple voltage during luminance
control of LED. There is the possibility that the ripple voltage produces acoustic noise and
signal wave noise in audio circuit and so on. Put a capacitor between the power supply lines
(VDDB and GNDB) to reduce the noise if necessary.

Method Adjustment and luminance ratio
Adjustment
Backlight luminance can be controlled by duty ratio of the external PWM signal.
To enable external PWM control, keep CN1 7pin High or Open, and CN1 8pin at a ground
level of the circuit board (GNDB).
The PWM signal must follow specification noted in the section 2.3 ELECTRICAL
CHARACTERISTICS.

4. PRECAUTIONS
4.1 MEANING OF CAUTION SIGNS
The following caution signs have very important meaning. Be sure to read "4.2 CAUTIONS" and
"4.3 A TTENTIONS" carefully.
!
This sign has the meaning that customer will be injured by himself or the product
will sustain damage, if a customer does wrong operations.
This sign has the meaning that customer will be injured by himself, if a customer
does wrong operations.
4.2 CAUTIONS
Be sure to wait for a while after turning the power OFF before replacing. LED
driver is still hot soon after shutting down.
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET DOD-PP-0901 (1st edition) 10
Do not apply mechanical shock. It may damage products.
!
4.3 ATTENTIONS
4.3.1 Handling of the product
Do not touch or apply stress to exposed electronic parts. Doing so may cause damage or
malfunctionin g of produc ts. O nly hold the edge of the circuit board when unpacking.
When handling the product, take measures of electrostatic discharge with such as eart h band, ionic
shower and so on, because the product may be damaged by electrostatic.
Do not plug or unplug the interface connectors while the product is operating.
4.3.2 Environment
Do not operate or store in high temperature, high humidity, dewdrop atmosphere or corrosive gases.
Keep a product in a packing box with antistatic pouch under room temperature to avoid dusts and
sunlight, when storing the product.
In o rder to prevent dew con densation occurred by temperatu re difference, the product packing box
should be opened after enough time passed under the environment of an unpacking room. Take the
sufficient time before unpacking because a situation of dew condensation is changed by the
environmental temperature and humidity. (Recommended leaving time: 6 hours or more with
packing state)
Do not operate in high magnetic field. Circuit boards may be broken down by it.
This product is not designed as radiation resistant.
4.3.3 Other
All GNDB and VDDB terminals should be used without any non-connected lines.
Do not disassemble a product.
Pack a product with original packing material, in order to avoid any damages during transportation,
when returning the product to NEC.
Insert spacers between the LED Driver board and the chassis to secure spatial distance.
