Notes 1) It is applied to pixel data signal and clock signal.
The following optical characteristics are measured when the LCD is set alone (apart from driving
circuits and monitor cabinets) and under stable conditions. It takes about 30 minutes to reach stable
conditions. The measuring point is the center of display area unless otherwise noted.
The optical characteristics should be measured in a dark room or equivalent state.

Notes 1) The specification shall be applied to each CFL. The specification is defined at ground line.
2) Frequency of power supply for a CFL may cause the interference with HSYNC frequency
and cause beat or flicker on the display. Therefore, lamp frequency shall be as different
as possible from HSYNC frequency in order to avoid the interference.
Notes 1) There are parasitic capacitors between 3CCFLs. The different capacitance of these
parasitic capacitors send the one-sided electric current to the specific CCFL. This
phenomenon causes the drop of the optical characteristics.
To avoid this phenomenon, The inverter driving CCFLs should be applied as follows;
(1) One transformer should cover to supply VL and IL for only one CCFL.
(2) Providing detector to monitor IL current level for every each CCFL is
recommended, but monitoring of only maximum current level among the
3CCFLs is also acceptable if the recommendation is not easily implemented

PLEASE FOLLOW LOCAL ORDINANCES OR REGULATIONS FOR ITS DISPOSAL.
Please pay close attention to the following precautions whilst using, handling and mounting the TFT
module.
10.1 PRECAUTION FOR HANDLING AND MOUNTING
(1) Applying excessive force to any part of the module may result in partial deformation of the frame or
mould, which could result in permanent damage to the display.
(2) The module should be held gently and firmly using both hands. In order to avoid internal damage
never hold the module by just one hand. Also never drop or hit the module.
(3) The module should be installed using the mounting holes of the module.
(4) Uneven force such as twisted stress should not be applied directly to the module once it is mounted
within the cover case. The cover case must have sufficient strength such that any external forces are
not transmitted directly to the module.
(5) It is recommended that you maintain a gap between the display module and the rear chassis so as to
avoid any mechanical stress being passed to the module.

(6) The edge of the cover case should be positioned with more than a 1mm overlap from the edge of
the module's upper frame.
(7) A transparent protective plate should be added to the front of the display in order to protect both the
polarizer and TFT cell. The transparent protective plate should have sufficient strength such that the
plate can not be deformed, due to external forces, and touch the module. Polarizer surface hardness
is H.
(8) Materials containing acetic acid and chlorine should not be used for the cover case nor for other parts
which are positioned in close proximity to the module. This is because the Acetic acid will attack
the polarizer, whilst the chlorine will attack the electric circuits by way of electro-chemical reaction.
(9) The front polarizer on the TFT cell should be handled carefully, due to its softness, and must not be
touched, pushed or rubbed with glass, tweezers or anything harder than an HB pencil lead.
The surface of the polarizer should not be touched nor rubbed with bare hands, greasy or dusty clothes.
(10) If the surface of polarizer becomes dirty, it should be softly wiped off by absorbent cotton, chamois
or other soft material with recommended potion. Do not rub strongly to avoid damaging the surface.
IPA (isopropyl alcohol) is recommended to clean away the traces of adhesive which is used to attach
the front/rear polarizers to the TFT cell. Other cleaning chemicals such as acetone, toluene and
alcohol should not be used to clean adhesives because they cause chemical damage to the polarizer.
(11) Saliva or water drops should be immediately wiped off. Otherwise, the affected portion of the
polarizer may become deformed and its color may fade.
(12) The module should not be opened or modified, under any circumstances, as this may cause it to
(13) The metallic bezel of the module should not be handled with bare hand or dirty gloves. Otherwise,
the color of the metallic frame may become dirty during its storage. It is recommended to use clean
soft gloves and clean finger stalls whilst the module is handled during incoming inspection and
production assembly processes.
(14) CCFL cables should not be used to hold the module or pulled.
10.2 PRECAUTION TO OPERATION
(1) Heat from the backlight could raise the temperature of TFT-LCD module (TFT-LCD panel). Therefore,
the mechanism of radiating heat is necessary to satisfy environmental specification of this module.
(2) Spike noise could result in the miss-operation of this module. The level of spike noise should be as
follows: -200mV ≤ over- and under- shoot of VDD ≤ +200mV
VDD including over- and under- shoot should not exceed the absolute maximum ratings.
(3) Optical response times, luminance and chromaticity depend on the temperature of the TFT module.
Response times and saturation times of CCFL luminance become longer at lower operating
temperatures.
(4) The starting characteristic of the lamp will become worse at the low temperature.
(Loss time to obtain stable luminescence after inputting power will become long.)
(5) Sudden temperature changes may cause dew on and/or in the module. Dew can cause damage to the
polarizer and/or electrical contacting areas of the module. Dew causes fading of the image quality.
(6) If same pattern is displayed for a long time, the image sticking might remain.
But it will become weak as a time goes on after displaying another image.
(7) This module has high frequency circuits. Sufficient suppression to electromagnetic interference should
be done by the system manufacturers. Grounding and shielding methods may be effective to minimize
such interference.
(8) Noise may be heard when the back-light is operated. If necessary, sufficient suppression should be
done by the system manufacturers.
(9) Connecting or disconnecting the I/F cables, whilst the power and data signals are present, could result
in permanent damage to the module. The I/F connectors should only be connected and disconnected
after the power supply and data signal have been turned off.
10.3 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE CONTROL
(1) This module consists of a TFT cell and electronic circuits with CMOS-ICs, which are very susceptible
to electrostatic discharge. Persons who are handling the module should be grounded through adequate
methods such as a wrist band. I/F connector pins should not be touched directly with bare hands.
(2) The polarizer protective film should be removed slowly so as to avoid an excessive build-up of
electrostatic charge.
10.4 PRECAUTION TO STRONG LIGHT EXPOSURE
(1) The module should not be exposed to strong light. Otherwise, characteristics of the polarizer and
color filter, may be degraded.
10.5 PRECAUTION TO STORAGE
When modules are stored, for long period's of time, the following precautions should be taken:
(1) Modules should be stored in a dark place. It is prohibited to apply direct sunlight or fluorescent light
during storage. Modules should be stored between 15 to 35°C at normal humidity (60%RH or less).
(2) The surface of the polarizer should not come into direct contact with other objects.
It is recommended that modules should be stored in the original shipping box.
(1) The protective sheet for polarizers should be peeled off slowly and carefully by people who are
electrically grounded with adequate methods such as wrist bands. Also ionized air should be blown
over the module during the peeling action.
Dust on the polarizer should be blown off gently using an ionized nitrogen gun.
10.7 SAFETY
(1) Since both the TFT cell and CCFL lamps are made of glass, handling of any broken module's should be
carried out with the utmost care so as to avoid any injury. Hands which have come into direct contact
with liquid crystal material should be washed immediately and thoroughly.
(2) The module should not be taken apart during operation so that back-light drives by high voltage.
(3) The inverter for driving CCFL should have over current/voltage detect circuit in case back-light failure
happens. Also protection circuit (open, short, spark, etc) should be verified on inverter and system side.
10.8 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
(1) The TFT module contains cold cathode fluorescent lamps. Please follow local ordinance or regulations
for its disposal.
