1.0 Handling Precautions

1) Since front polarizer is easily damaged, pay attention 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 other soft cloth.

5) Since the panel is made of glass, it may break or crack 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 or pat the panel surface by fingers,hand or tooling.

9) Do not press the reflector sheet at the back of the module to any directions.

10) In case if a module has to be put back into the packing container slot after once 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.

11) At the insertion or removal of the Signal Interface Connector, be sure not to rotate nor tilt the Interface Connector of the TFT module.

12) After installation of the TFT module into an enclosure (Desktop monitor 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.

2.0 General Description

This specification applies to the 17.0 inch Color TFT/LCD Module M170EG01 V2.

This module is designed for a display unit of personal computer.

The display supports the SXGA (1280(H) x 1024(V)) screen format and 16.2M colors (RGB 6-bits + FRC data).

All input signals are 2 Channel LVDS interface compatible.

This module does not contain an inverter card for backlight.

Note :Tuning the brightness and contrast function in OSD let the luminance to 125 cd/m

brightness to 125cd/m

, the function on OSD should not restrict our V-T curve. In other word, the higher

contrast, the range of panel’s V-T curve will be more extensive to get the better performance. If it is not

possible to achieve the test luminance by this procedure it is suitable to tune contrast higher and

brightness lower.

Note 1: Definition of Response time

The output signals of photodetector are measured when the input signals are changed from “Black” to “White”

(rising time), and from “White” to “Black ”(falling time), respectively. The response time is interval between the

10% and 90% of amplitudes.
