Note (2) For better LED light bar driving quality, it is recommended to utilize the adaptive boost converter

with current balancing function to drive LED light-bar.
Note (3) PL = IL ×VL (Without LED converter transfer efficiency)
Note (4) The lifetime of LED is defined as the time when it continues to operate under the conditions at Ta =

25 ±2 oC and IL = 20 mA(Per EA) until the brightness becomes 50% of its original value.≦

The brightness of each primary color (red, green and blue) is based on the 6-bit gray scale data input

for the color. The higher the binary input the brighter the color. The table below provides the assignment
of color versus data input.

8. PRECAUTIONS

8.1 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

(1) The module should be assembled into the system firmly by using every mounting hole. Be careful

not to twist or bend the module.

(2) While assembling or installing modules, it can only be in the clean area. The dust and oil may cause

electrical short or damage the polarizer.

(3) Use fingerstalls or soft gloves in order to keep display clean during the incoming inspection and

assembly process.

(4) Do not press or scratch the surface harder than a HB pencil lead on the panel because the polarizer

is very soft and easily scratched.

(5) If the surface of the polarizer is dirty, please clean it by some absorbent cotton or soft cloth. Do not

use Ketone type materials (ex. Acetone), Ethyl alcohol, Toluene, Ethyl acid or Methyl chloride. It
might permanently damage the polarizer due to chemical reaction.

(6) Wipe off water droplets or oil immediately. Staining and discoloration may occur if they left on panel

for a long time.

(7) If the liquid crystal material leaks from the panel, it should be kept away from the eyes or mouth. In

case of contacting with hands, legs or clothes, it must be washed away thoroughly with soap.
(8) Protect the module from static electricity, it may cause damage to the C-MOS Gate Array IC.
(9) Do not disassemble the module.
(10) Do not pull or fold the LED wire.
(11) Pins of I/F connector should not be touched directly with bare hands.

8.2 STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

(1) High temperature or humidity may reduce the performance of module. Please store LCD module

within the specified storage conditions.
(2) It is dangerous that moisture come into or contacted the LCD module, because the moisture may

damage LCD module when it is operating.
(3) It may reduce the display quality if the ambient temperature is lower than 10 ºC. For example, the

response time will become slowly, and the starting voltage of LED will be higher than the room

temperature.

8.3 OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

(1) Do not pull the I/F connector in or out while the module is operating.
(2) Always follow the correct power on/off sequence when LCD module is connecting and operating.

This can prevent the CMOS LSI chips from damage during latch-up.
(3) The startup voltage of Backlight is approximately 1000 Volts. It may cause electrical shock while

assembling with converter. Do not disassemble the module or insert anything into the Backlight unit.

1. Design gap A between panel & any components on system cover

Definition

2 Design gap B1 & B2 between panel & protrusions

SYSTEM COVER DESIGN NOTICE

a). Sufficient gap between panel & system is a must for preventing from backpack or pogo
test fail.

b). Zero gap from panel's maximum thickness boundary to any components, foreign objects,
wire, cable or extrusion on system cover inner surface is forbidden.

B1

Protrusion

2.0mm min. gap is recommended between panel & protrusions for preventing from shock

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

a). Sufficient gap between system front bezel & panel surface is a must for preventing from
pooling or glass broken.

Definition

4 Design gap D1 & D2 between system front bezel & PCB Assembly.

b). Zero gap or interference is forbidden.

a). Sufficient gap between system front bezel & PCB assembly is a must for preventing from
abnormal display after backpack test, hinge test, twist test or pogo test.

Definition

5 Interference examination of antenna cable and WebCam wire

Definition

6 System inner surface examination

b). Zero gap or interference is forbidden.

WebCam Wire

a). Antenna cable or WebCam wire overlap with panel outline is forbidden for preventing
from abnormal display & white spot after backpack test, hinge test, twist test or pogo test.

b). Antenna cable or WebCam wire bypass panel outline is recommended.

WebCam Wire

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

Definition a). Burr at logo edge, step, protrusion or PCB board will easily cause white spot or glass

broken.
b). Keeping flat surface underneath backlight is recommended.

7 Tape/sponge design on system inner surface

Definition a) To prevent abnormal display & white spot after scuffing test, hinge test, pogo test,

backpack test, it is not recommended to add tape/sponge in separate location. Since each
tape/sponge may act as pressure concentration location.

b) We suggest to design a tape/sponge that well covered under panel rear cover.

8 Assembly SOP examination

Definition To prevent panel crack during system front bezel assembly process with hook design, it is

prohibited to press panel or any location that related directly to the panel.

9 Material used for system rear bezel

Version 1.0 01 October 2012 34 / 35

The copyright belongs to CHIMEI InnoLux. Any unauthorized use is prohibited.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

Definition To prevent panel crack during system front bezel assembly process without hook design, it

is only allowed to give slight pressure with large contact area. This can help to distribute the
stress to prevent point concentration, also it is suggest to put the system on a flat surface
stage during the assembly.

10 Material used for system rear bezel

Definition a) To prevent abnormal display & white spot after scuffing test, hinge test, pogo test,

backpack test, as the poor rigidity result from deformation of system rear cover during the
test.

b) We suggest to use aluminum-magnesium alloy as the rear frame material with thickness
min 1.5mm, instead of using PC/ABS.

11 System base unit design near keyboard and mouse pad

Definition To prevent abnormal display & white spot after scuffing test, hinge test, pogo test, backpack

test, no sharp edge design is allowed in any area that may damage the panel during the
test. We suggest to remove all sharp edges, or to reduce the thickness difference of
keyboard/mouse pad from the nearby surface.
