The LM201U02 LCD is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display with an integral Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp(CCFL) 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 black mode. This TFT-LCD has a 20.1 inch diagonally
measured active display area with UXGA resolution(1200 vertical by 1600 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
luminance of the sub-pixel color is determined with a 8-bit gray scale signal for each dot, thus, presenting a
palette of more than 16,777,216 colors.
The LM201U02 has been designed to apply the TMDS
interface method to enables a simple and low-cost implementation in both the host and monitor.

3. Electrical Specifications
3-1. Electrical Characteristics
The LM201U02 requires two power inputs. One input is employed to power the LCD electronics and to
drive the voltages to drive the TFT array and liquid crystal. And the second input which powers the CCFL,
is typically generated by an inverter. The inverter is an external unit to the LCD.

Notes : 1. The input current shall be measured at V
clock frequency of 125MHz under 256gray(B/W) (typ)
2. This impedance value is needed to proper display and measured from TMDS Tx output and
input connector of module.
3. The measuring condition
The duration of rush current is about 20ms, and rising time of Power input is 1ms.
4. Operating voltage is measured at 25°C. The variance of the voltage is ±10%.
5. The output voltage at the transformer in the inverter must be high considering to the loss of the
ballast capacitor in the inverter. The voltage above V
than 1 second for start-up. Otherwise, the lamps may not be turned on.
6. Lamp frequency may produce interface with horizontal synchronous frequency and as a result this
may cause beat on the display. Therefore lamp frequency shall be as away possible from the
horizontal synchronous frequency and from its harmonics in order to prevent interference.

7. The lamp power consumption shown above does not include loss of external inverter at 25°C.
lamp current is the lamp typical current.
8. Let’s define the brightness of The used the lamp after being lighted for 5 minutes as 100%.
TS is the time required for the brightness of the center of the lamp to be not less than 95%.
The used lamp current is the lamp typical current.
9. The life time is defined as the time at which brightness of lamp is 50% compare to that of initial
value at the typical lamp current on condition of continuous operating at 25±2°C.
Note. Do not attach a conducting tape to connecting wire.
If the lamp wire attach to a conducting tape, TFT-LCD Module has a low luminance and the
inverter has abnormal action. Because leakage current is occurred between lamp wire and
conducting tape.
The design of the inverter must have specifications for the lamp in LCD Assembly.
The performance of the Lamp in LCM, for example life time or brightness, is extremely influenced by
the characteristics of the DC-AC inverter. So all the parameters of an inverter should be carefully
designed so as not to produce too much leakage current from high-voltage output of the inverter.
When you design or order the inverter, please make sure unwanted lighting caused by the mismatch
of the lamp and the inverter(no lighting, flicker, etc) never occurs. When you confirm it, the LCD –
Assembly should be operated in the same condition as installed in you instrument
Requirements for a system inverter design, which is intended to have a better display performance, a
better power efficiency and a more reliable lamp.
It shall help increase the lamp lifetime and reduce its leakage current.
a. The asymmetry rate of the inverter current and voltage waveform should be 10% below;
b. The distortion rate of the current and voltage waveform should be within √2 ±10%;
c. The ideal sine current and voltage waveform shall be symmetric in positive and negative polarities.

This LCD employs three kinds of interface connections. A 21 pin connector is used for TMDS signals from
the host computer. A 15-pin connector is used for LCD module power and LCM controls signal from external
monitor control circuits. And four connectors, a three pin and two pin connector, are used for the integral
backlight system.
