2. OVERVIEW

AA121TD01 is 12.1” color TFT-LCD (Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) module
composed of LCD panel, driver ICs, control circuit, LED driver and backlight unit.

By applying 6 bit or 8 bit digital data, 1280u 800, 262k-color or 16.7M-color images are displayed
on the 12.1” diagonal screen. Input power voltages are 3.3 V for LCD driving and 12 V for
backlight unit.
The type of data and control signals are digital and transmitted via LVDS interface per Typ. 71
MHz clock cycle.

General specifications are summarized in the following table:
