LM240WU8
Liquid Crystal Display
Product Specification
1. General description
LM240WU8 is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display with an integral Light Emitting Diode (LED)
backlight 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. It has a 24 inch diagonally measured active display area with
WUXGA resolution (1200 vertical by 1920 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 8-bit gray scale signal for each dot, thus, presenting a palette of more than 16,7M colors
with Advanced-FRC(Frame Rate Control). It has been designed to apply the interface method that enables low
power, high speed, low EMI. FPD Link or compatible must be used as a LVDS(Low Voltage Differential
Signaling) chip. It is intended to support applications where thin thickness, wide viewing angle, low power are
critical factors and graphic displays are important. In combination with the vertical arrangement of the subpixels, the LM240WU8’s characteristics provide an excellent flat panel display for office automation products
such as monitors.

3-1. Electrical characteristics
It requires two power inputs. One is employed to power the LCD electronics and to drive the
TFT array and liquid crystal. The second input power for the LED Backlight, is typically
generated by an LED Driver. The LED Driver is an external unit to the LCDs.

LED driver design guide
1) The design of the LED driver must have specifications for the LED in LCD Assembly.
The performance of the LED in LCM, for example life time or brightness, is extremely influenced by
the characteristics of the LED driver.
So all the parameters of an LED driver should be carefully designed and output current should be
Constant current control.
Please control feedback current of each string individually to compensate the current variation
among the strings of LEDs.
When you design or order the LED driver, please make sure unwanted lighting caused by
the mismatch of the LED and the LED driver (no lighting, flicker, etc) never occurs.
When you confirm it, the LCD module should be operated in the same condition as installed in
your instrument.
2) LGD recommend that Dimming Control Signal ( PWM Signal) is synchronized with Frame Frequency
for Wavy Noise Free.
1. Specified values are for a single LED bar.
2. The specified current is input LED chip 100% duty current.
3. The specified voltage is input LED string and Bar voltage at typical 110 mA 100% duty current.
4. The specified power consumption is input LED bar power consumption at typical 110 mA 100% duty current.
5. The life is determined as the time at which luminance of the LED is 50% compared to that of initial
value at the typical LED current on condition of continuous operating at 25 2¶C.
6. The LED bar power consumption shown above does not include loss of external driver.
The used LED bar current is the LED typical current.
Min Power Consumption is calculated with PBar = Vs(Min.) x Is(Typ.) x Nstring
Max Power Consumption is calculated with PBar = Vbar(Max.) x Is(Typ) x Nstring
7. LED operating DC Forward Current must not exceed LED Max Ratings at 252 C
