1. 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.
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.
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) 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.
13) 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 electros tic breakdown.

Measure the luminance of gray level 63 at 5 points，Y
L (x) is corresponding to the luminance of the point X at Figure in Note (1).

= [L (1)+ L (2)+ L (3)+ L (4)+ L (5)] / 5
L
Contrast ratio is calculated with the following formula.
Where
YA = Luminance of measured location without gray level 0 pattern (cd/m2)
Y

Note 8: Definition of response time:
The output signals of BM-7 or equivalent are measured when the input signals are changed from “Black”
AU OPTRONICS CORPORATION
to “White” (falling time) and from “White” to “Black” (rising time), respectively. The response time interval
between the 10% and 90% of amplitudes. Refer to figure as below.

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.
