Proper service and repair is important to the safe, reliable operation of all AOC Company Equipment. The service
procedures recommended by AOC and described in this service manual are effective methods of performing service
operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The
special tools should be used when and as recommended.
It is important to note that this manual contains various CAUTIONS and NOTICES which should be carefully read in
order to minimize the risk of personal injury to service personnel. The possibility exists that improper service
methods may damage the equipment. It is also important to understand that these CAUTIONS and NOTICES ARE
NOT EXHAUSTIVE. AOC could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in
which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, AOC has not
undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, a servicer who uses a service procedure or tool which is not
recommended by AOC must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor the safe operation of the
equipment will be jeopardized by the service method selected.
Hereafter throughout this manual, AOC Company will be referred to as AOC.
WARNING
Use of substitute replacement parts, which do not have the same, specified safety characteristics may create shock,
fire, or other hazards.
Under no circumstances should the original design be modified or altered without written permission from AOC.
AOC assumes no liability, express or implied, arising out of any unauthorized modification of design.
Servicer assumes all liability.

Take care during handling the LCD module with backlight unit
-Must mount the module using mounting holes arranged in four corners.
-Do not press on the panel, edge of the frame strongly or electric shock as this will result in damage to the screen.
-Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as pencil or pen as this may result in damage to
the panel.
-Protect the module from the ESD as it may damage the electronic circuit (C-MOS).
-Make certain that treatment person’s body is grounded through wristband.
-Do not leave the module in high temperature and in areas of high humidity for a long time.
-Avoid contact with water as it may a short circuit within the module.
-If the surface of panel becomes dirty, please wipe it off with a soft material. (Cleaning with a dirty or rough cloth may
damage the panel.)

4.3 Panel Specification
4.3.1 General Features
LM200WD1-TLC1 is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display with an integral Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp
(CCFL) backlight system. The matrix employs a-Si Thin Film Transistor as the active element. It is a transmissive
type display operating in the normally white mode. It has a 20.0 inch diagonally measured active display area with
HD+ resolution (900 vertical by 1600 horizontal pixel array) Each pixel is divided into Red, Green and Blue
sub-pixels or dots which are arranged in vertical stripes. Gray scale or the brightness of the sub-pixel color is
determined with a 8-bit gray scale signal for each dot, thus, presenting a palette of more than 16,7M colors with
Advanced-FRC (Frame Rate Control). It has been designed to apply the interface method that enables low power,
high speed, low EMI. FPD Link or compatible must be used as a LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) chip. It is
intended to support applications where thin thickness, wide viewing angle, low power are critical factors and graphic
displays are important. In combination with the vertical arrangement of the sub-pixels, the LM200WD1-TLC1
characteristics provide an excellent flat panel display for office automation products such as monitors.
4.3.2 Display Characteristics
Active screen size 20.0 inches (508.05mm) diagonal
Outline Dimension 462.8(H) x 272.0(V) x 14.5(D) mm(Typ.)
Pixel Pitch 0.0922*RGB(H)mm x 0.2766(V)mm
Pixel Format 1600 horizontal By 900 vertical Pixels. RGB stripe arrangement
