The LG LCD Inc. model LP141XA-A1 LCD is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display with an integral
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Tube(CCFT) back light system. The matrix employs a - Si Thin Film Transistor
as the active element. It is a transmissive type display operating in the normally white mode. This TFT-
LCD has a 14.1 inch diagonally measured active display area with XGA resolution(768 vertical by 1024
horizontal pixel array). Each pixel is divided into Red, Green and Blue sub-pixels or dots which are
arranged in vertical stripes. Gray scale or the brightness of the sub-pixel color is determined with a 6-bit
gray scale signal for each dot, thus, presenting a pallet of more than 262,144 colors.
The LP141XA-A1 LCD is intended to support applications where low power consumption, weight and
thickness are critical factors and graphic displays are important. In combination with the vertical
arrangement of the sub-pixels, the LP141XA-A1 characteristics provide an excellent flat panel display for
office automation products such as portable computers.

3. Electrical Specifications
The LP141XA-A1 requires two power inputs. One is employed to power the LCD electronics and to
derive the voltages to drive the TFT array and liquid crystal. The second input which powers the backlight
CCFT, is typically generated by an inverter. The inverter is an external unit to the LCD.

4. Optical Specifications
Optical characteristics are determined after the unit has been ‘ON’ and stable for approximately 30 minutes
in a dark environment at 25℃. The values specified are at an approximate distance 50cm from the LCD
surface at a viewing angle of Φ and θ equal to 0°.
Appendix A presents additional information concerning the specified characteristics.

8. Color Input Data Reference
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 a reference for color
