Note (2) If the PWM control duty ratio is less than 10%, that is difficult to control the brightness linearity.
Note (3) If PWM control frequency is applied in the range less than 1KHz, the “waterfall” phenomenon on the

the criterion as below.

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.

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 with a tape/sponge that well covered under panel rear-cover.
c). Interference between panel and system rear-cover is forbidden after reliability test.

prohibited to press panel or any location that related directly to the panel.
9 Assembly SOP examination
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Definition To prevent panel crack during system front-cover assembly process without hook design, it
is only allowed to give slight pressure with large contact area. This can help to distribute the
stress and prevent stress concentration. Also it is suggest to put the system on a flat surface
stage during the assembly.
10 Material used for system rear-cover
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 using aluminum-magnesium alloy as the system rear-cover 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.

12 Screw boss height design
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
Definition a). Gap left between panel rear-cover bracket and screw boss surface is prohibited.
b). To remain sufficient gap between panel and system rear-cover, screw boss height must
be designed with respect to the height of bracket bottom surface to panel bottom surface +
flatness change of panel itself.
