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) Since CMOS LSI is used in this module, take care of static electricity and insure human earth when

handling.

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 CCFL Reflector edge. Instead, press at the far ends of the

CCFL 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) Cold cathode fluorescent lamp in LCD contains a small amount of mercury. Please follow local ordinances or

regulations for disposal.

13) 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.

14) The LCD module is designed so that the CCFL in it is supplied by Limited Current Circuit (IEC60950 or

UL1950). Do not connect the CCFL in Hazardous Voltage Circuit.

15) Severe temperature condition may result in different luminance, response time and lamp ignition voltage.

16) Continuous operating TFT-LCD display under low temperature environment may accelerate lamp exhaustion

and reduce luminance dramatically.

17) The data on this specification sheet is applicable when LCD module is placed in landscape position.

18) 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.

Note 6: Definition of viewing angle

Viewing angle is the measurement of contrast ratio 10, 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 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 the desired measurement

viewing angle.

IRCFL= 6mA

Note 1: IRCFL is defined as the return current of an inverter. (In Figure. 1)

(Figure. 1: Measurement of return current)

A stable IRCFL is a current without flicker or biasing waveform provided by inverter that ensures the

backlight perform to its specification. The ideal sine waveform should be symmetric in positive and

negative polarities and the asymmetry rate of the inverter waveform should be below 10%.

It is recommended to use the inverter with detection circuit to avoid overvoltage, overcurrent, or

mismatching waveform. The purpose is to avoid current flow into only one of the lamps when the other

one is not in operation.

Note 2: The definition of lamp life means when any of following conditions happen:

a) Luminance falls to 50% or less of the initial value.

b) Normal lighting is no more available (flickering, pink lighting, no lighting, etc.)

c) Lamp voltage or lighting start voltage exceeds the specified value.

Note 3: CCFL frequency should be carefully determined to avoid interference between inverter and TFT LCD.

Higher frequency will induce higher leakage current and further impact lamp life.

Note 4: Calculator value for reference (IRCFLxVCFLx2=PCFL).

Note 5: The display is with dual lamp design, and the CCFL current in above table refers to each lamp
