Product Specification

1. General Description

The LC230W01 is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Cr ystal Display with an integr al Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp(CCFL) backlight 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 23.0 inch
diagonally measured active display area with WXGA resolution (768 vertic al by 1280 horizontal pixel arra y).
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 determ ined with a 8-bit gray scale s ignal for each dot,
thus, presenting a palette of more than 16.7M(true) colors with 8Bit.
The LC230W01 has been designed to apply the 8Bit LVDS interface.
It is intended to support LCD TV, PCTV where high brightness, wide viewing angle, high color saturation,
and high color are important.

3-1. Electrical Characteristics

The LC230W01 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 CCFL/Backlight, is to power the inverter.

Notes : 1. Contrast Ratio(CR) is defined mathematically as :

Surface Luminance with all white pixels

Contrast Ratio =

Surface Luminance with all black pixels

Surface luminance is the center point(1).

2. Surface luminance is the center point(1) across the LCD surface 50cm from the surface with all
pixels displaying white under the condition of I

BL=6mArms. For more information see FIG 1.

LC230W01

Liquid Crystal Display

3. The variation in surface luminance , δ W HITE is defined by measuring L
position 1 through 5, and then dividing maximum L

ON of 5 points luminance b y minimum LON of

ON at watch test

each 5points luminance. For more information see FIG 2.
δ WHITE = Maximum (L

ON1, LON2, ........, LON5 ) / Minimum (LON1, LON2, ........, LON5 )

4. Response time is the time required f or the display to trans ition from black to white (Ris e Tim e,
T

rR) and from white to black (Decay Time, TrD). For additional information see FIG 3.

5. Viewing angle is the angle at which the contrast ratio is greater than 10. The angles are

determined for the horizontal or x axis and the vertical or y axis with respect to the z axis which
is normal to the LCD surface. For more information see FIG 4.

9. PRECAUTIONS

Please pay attention to the followings when you use this TFT LCD module.

9-1. MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS

(1) You must mount a module using holes arranged in four corners or four sides.
(2) You should consider the mounting structure so that uneven force (ex. Twisted stress) is not applied to the

module. And the case on which a module is m ounted should have sufficient str ength so that external
force is not transmitted directly to the module.

(3) Please attach the surface transparent protective plate to the surface in order to protect the polarizer.

Transparent protective plate should have sufficient strength in order to the resist external force.
(4) You should adopt radiation structure to satisfy the temperature specification.
(5) Acetic acid type and chlorine t ype materials for the cover case are not desirable because the former

generates corrosive gas of attacking the polarizer at high temperature and the latter causes circuit break

by electro-chemical reaction.
(6) Do not touch, push or rub the exposed polarizers with glass, tweezers or anything harder than HB

pencil lead. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment.

Do not touch the surface of polarizer for bare hand or greasy cloth.(Some cosmetics are detrimental

to the polarizer.)
(7) When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other s oft materials like

chamois soaks with petroleum benzene. Normal-hexane is recommended for cleaning the adhesives

used to attach front / rear polarizers. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause

chemical damage to the polarizer.
(8) Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with polarizer causes

deformations and color fading.
(9) Do not open the case because inside circuits do not have sufficient strength.

9-2. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

(1) The spike noise causes the mis-operation of circuits. It should be lower than following voltage :

V=·200mV(Over and under shoot voltage)
(2) Response time depends on the temperature.(In lower temperature, it becomes longer.)

(3) Brightness depends on the temperature. (In lower temperature, it becomes lower.)

And in lower temperature, response time(required time that brightness is stable after turned on) becomes

longer.
(4) Be careful for condensation at sudden temperature change. Condensation makes damage to polarizer or

electrical contacted parts. And after fading condensation, smear or spot will occur.
(5) When fixed patterns are displayed for a long time, remnant image is likely to occur.
(6) Module has high frequency circuits. Sufficient suppression to the electromagnetic interference shall be

done by system manufacturers. Grounding and shielding methods may be important to minimized the

interference.
(7) Please do not give any mechanical and/or acoustical impact to LCM. Otherwise, LCM can not be operated

its full characteristics perfectly.
(8) A screw which is fastened up the steels should be a machine screw (if not, it causes metal foreign

material and deal LCM a fatal blow)

9-3. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE CONTROL

Since a module is composed of electronic circ uits, it is not str ong to electrostatic dis charge. Mak e certain that
treatment persons are connected to ground through wrist band etc. And don’t touch interface pin directly.

9-4. PRECAUTIONS FOR STRONG LIGHT EXPOSURE

Strong light exposure causes degradation of polarizer and color filter.

9-5. STORAGE

When storing modules as spares for a long time, the following precautions are necessary.

(1) Store them in a dark place. Do not expose the module to sunlight or fluorescent light. Keep the

temperature between 5¶C and 35¶C at normal humidity.

(2) The polarizer surface should not come in contact with any other object.

It is recommended that they be stored in the container in which they were shipped.

9-6. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR PROTECTION FILM

(1) The protection film is attached to the bezel with a small masking tape.

When the protection film is peeled off, static electricity is generated between the film and polarizer.
This should be peeled off slowly and caref ully by people who are electrically grounded and with well
ion-blown equipment or in such a condition, etc.

(2) When the module with pr otection film attached is stored for a long time, sometimes there remains a

very small amount of glue still on the bezel after the protection film is peeled off.

(3) You can remove the glue easily. When the glue remains on the bezel surface or its vestige is recognized,

please wipe them off with absorbent cotton waste or other soft material like chamois soaked with normal

-hexane.
