1. Handling 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.

Note 1: Definition of viewing angle
Viewing angle is the measurement of contrast ratio≧10, or ≧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.

Note 4: Measurement method
The LCD module should be stabilized at given temperature for 30 minutes to avoid abrupt temperature
change during measuring. 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 5: Definition of response time:
The output signals of photo detector are measured when the input signals are changed from “Full Black” to
“Full White” (rising time), and from “Full White” to “Full Black” (falling time), respectively. The response time
is interval between the 10% and 90% of amplitudes. Please refer to the figure as below.

differential signal technology for LCD interface and high speed data transfer device. Transmitter shall be
SN75LVDS83(negative edge sampling) or compatible. The first LVDS port(RxOxxx) transmits odd pixels
while the second LVDS port(RxExxx) transmits even pixels.
PIN # SIGNAL NAME DESCRIPTION
1 RxOIN0- Negative LVDS differential data input (Odd data)
2 RxOIN0+ Positive LVDS differential data input (Odd data)
3 RxOIN1- Negative LVDS differential data input (Odd data)
4 RxOIN1+ Positive LVDS differential data input (Odd data)
5 RxOIN2- Negative LVDS differential data input (Odd data, H-Sync,V-Sync,DSPTMG)
6 RxOIN2+ Positive LVDS differential data input (Odd data, H-Sync,V-Sync,DSPTMG)
Note 1: The TFT-LCD module will not sustain damage after being subjected to 100 cycles of rapid
temperature change. A cycle of rapid temperature change consists of varying the temperature from
-20℃ to 60℃, and back again. Power is not applied during the test. After temperature cycling, the
unit is placed in normal room ambient for at least 4 hours before power on.
Note 2: According to EN61000-4-2, ESD class B: Some performance degradation allowed. No data lost.
Self-recoverable. No hardware failures.
