LP173WD1
Liquid Crystal Display
Product Specification
1. General Description
The LP173WD1 is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display with an integral 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. This TFT-LCD has 17.3 inches diagonally measured active display area with
WHD+ resolution(1600 horizontal by 900 vertical 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 6-bit gray scale signal for each dot, thus, presenting a palette of more than
262,144 colors. The LP173WD1 has been designed to apply the interface method that enables low power,
high speed, low EMI. The LP173WD1 is intended to support applications where thin thickness, low power
are critical factors and graphic displays are important. In combination with the vertical arrangement of the
sub-pixels, the LP173WD1 characteristics provide an excellent flat display for office automation products
such as Notebook PC.

Note : 1. Temperature and relative humidity range are shown in the figure below.
Wet bulb temperature should be 39C Max, and no condensation of water.
The LP173WD1 requires two power inputs. The first logic is employed to power the LCD electronics and to
drive the TFT array and liquid crystal. The second backlight is the input about LED BL.with LED Driver.

2. The specified Icc current and power consumption are under
the Vcc = 3.3V , 25℃, fv = 60Hz condition and Mosaic pattern.
3. This Spec. is the max load condition for the cable impedance designing.
4. The below figures are the measuring Vcc condition and the Vcc control block LGD used.
The Vcc condition is same as the minimum of T1 at Power on sequence.

9. The operation of LED Driver below minimum dimming ratio may cause flickering or reliability issue.
10. If Jitter of PWM is bigger than maximum, it may induce flickering.
11. This Spec. is not effective at 100% dimming ratio as an exception because it has DC level equivalent
to 0Hz. In spite of acceptable range as defined, the PWM Frequency should be fixed and stable for
more consistent brightness control at any specific level desired.
12. The life time is determined as the time at which brightness of LCD is 50% compare to that of minimum
value specified in table 7. under general user condition.
