Notes 1) "Temperature" and "Humidity" shall be at glass surface of a TFT-LCD Module, not in the system installed with the Module.

It's should not be over these absolute maximum ratings at any position of a TFT-LCD Module. Operating temperature means the temperature a TFT-LCD Module can be driven, not mean guarantee the screen performance (contrast,brightness,response time etc) is judged

at Ta=25deg.C

At low temperature the brightness of CCFL drop and the life time of CCFL become to be short. 2) Ambient temp. Ta 40 : 85 % RH Max. Without condensation.

Ta 40 : Absolute humidity must be lower than the humidity of 85 % at 40 deg.C. Without condensation.

Typical value is measured when displaying Black raster.

Maximum is measured when displaying Vertical-stripe pattern of 2 pixel pitch.

3)Current capacity for VDD power source should be larger than 2A. This TFT-LCD Module has a fuse(1A).

Notes

1)Larger IL causes the shorter life of a CCFL.

2)Frequency of power supply for a CCFL may cause interference with HSYNC frequency and causes beat or flicker on the display. Therefore, lamp frequency shall be as different as possibl e from HSYNC frequency in order to avoid the interference.

3)To be measured at GND terminal side

4)Starting Lamp Votage should be kept 1 sec at least.

5)The inverter should be built-in a safety circuit which detects over current, over voltage and distorted wave form of lamp current.
