Note (4) The voltage that must be larger than Vs should be applied to the lamp for more than 1 second
after startup. Otherwise, the lamp may not be turned on normally.
Note (5) The lamp frequency may generate interference with horizontal synchronous frequency from the
display, and this may cause line flow on the display. In order to avoid interference, the lamp
frequency should be detached from the horizontal synchronous frequency and its harmonics as far
as possible.

Note (8) The waveform of the voltage output of inverter must be area-symmetric and the design of the
inverter must have specifications for the modularized lamp. The performance of the Backlight,
such as lifetime or brightness, is greatly influenced by the characteristics of the DC-AC inverter for
the lamp. All the parameters of an inverter should be carefully designed to avoid generating too
much current leakage from high voltage output of the inverter. When designing or ordering the
inverter please make sure that a poor lighting caused by the mismatch of the Backlight and the
