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 the reflector sheet at the back of the module to any directions.
9) 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.
AU OPTRONICS CORPORATION
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 (CCFL) 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.

Note 8. 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 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 desiredmeasurement
viewing angle.

1-1 All of characteristics listed are measured under the condition using the AUO Test inverter.
1-2 In case of using an inverter other than listed, it is recommended to check the inverter carefully.
Sometimes, interfering noise stripes appear on the screen, and substandard luminance or flicker at
low power may happen.
1-3 In designing an inverter, it is suggested to check safety circuit very carefully. Impedance of CCFL, for
instance, becomes more than 1 [M ohm] when CCFL is damaged.
1-4 Generally, CCFL has some amount of delay time after applying starting voltage. It is recommended to
keep on applying starting voltage for 1 [Sec] until discharge.
1-5 CCFL discharge frequency must be carefully chosen so as not to produce interfering noise stripes on
the screen.
1-6 Reducing CCFL current increases CCFL discharge voltage and generally increases CCFL discharge
frequency. So all the parameters of an inverter should be carefully designed so as not to produce too
much leakage current from high-voltage output of the inverter.
Document version 0.4

Product Specification
a
Note 1: It should be employed the inverter which has “Duty Dimming”, if ICCFL is less than 4mA.
Note 2: CCFL discharge frequency should be carefully determined to avoid interference between inverter and
TFT LCD.
Note 3: The frequency range will not affect to lamp life and reliability characteristics.
Note 4: Theoutput voltage of inverter should be able to give out a power after ballast capacitor , the
generating capacity have to be larger than a lamp startup voltage, otherwise backlight may has
blinking for a moment after turns on or can not be turned on.
Note 5: Calculator value for reference (ICCFL×VCCFL=PCCFL)
Note 6: Requirements for a system inverter design, which is intended to have a better display performance, a
better power efficiency and a more reliable lamp, are following.
It shall help increase the lamp lifetime and reduce leakage current.
a. The asymmetry rate of the inverter waveform should be less than 10%.
b. The distortion rate of the waveform should be within √2 ±10%.
* Inverter output waveform had better be more similar to ideal sine wave.
