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.
AU OPTRONICS CORPORATION
8) Do not press the reflector sheet at the back of the module to any directions.
9) At the insertion or removal of the Signal Interface Connector, be sure not to
rotate nor tilt the Interface Connector of the TFT Module.
10) 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.
11) 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.
12) Disconnecting power supply before handling LCD modules, it can prevent
electric shock, DO NOT TOUCH the electrode parts, cables, connectors and LED
circuit part of TFT module that a LED light bar build in as a light source of back
light unit. It can prevent electrostic breakdown.

Note 9. 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 desired measurement viewing angle.
