1. OUTLINE

1.1 STRUCTURE AND PRINCIPLE

Color LCD module NL160120AC27-22B is composed of the amorphous silicon thin film transistor liquid crystal display (a-Si TFT LCD) panel structure with driver LSIs for driving the TFT (Thin Film Transistor) array and a backlight.
The a-Si TFT LCD panel structure is injected liquid crystal material into a narrow gap between the TFT array glass substrate and a color-filter glass substrate.
Grayscale data signals from a host system (e.g. signal generator, etc.) are modulated into best form for active matrix system by a signal processing board, and sent to the driver LSIs which drive the individual TFT arrays.
The TFT array as an electro-optical switch regulates the amount of transmitted light from the backlight assembly, when it is controlled by data signals. Color images are created by regulating the amount of transmitted light through the TFT array of red, green and blue dots.

terminal is Low and PWM signal (BRTP signal) is input into BRTP terminal. The luminance is controlled by duty ratio of BRTP signal.
Luminance ratio Note3
Note1: In case of the variable resistor control method and the voltage control method, noises may appear on
the display image depending on the input signals timing for LCD panel signal processing board.
Use PWM method, if interference noises appear on the display image!
Note2: The inverter will stop working, if the Low period of BRTP signal is more than 500ms while BRTC
signal is High or Open. Then the backlight will not turn on anymore, even if BRTP signal is input again.
This is not out of order. The inverter will start to work when power is supplied again. Note3: These data are the target values. Note4: Do not set the variable resistor, BRTI voltage and Pulse width modulation in less than 1.5kΩ or less
than 0.2V or less than 0.2(Duty ratio). Otherwise flicker or display mura may cause, or the lamp may
not be turned on. Note5: See "4.6.2 Detail of BRTI timing". Note6: See "4.6.3 Detail of BRTP timing".

4.11 TEN-bit LOOK UP TABLE FOR GAMMA ADJUSTMENT

Adjustment of gamma characteristics for each 8-bit RGB data is possible by using built-in 10-bit LUT
(look up table) for Gamma characteristics.
The LUT is set with the serial data. The combination of the control command determines the R/W actions.:
READ, Random/Sequential Address WRITE and Individual/Simultaneous RGB setting.
The serial data is composed as Table1.

6.3.3 Characteristics

The following items are neither defects nor failures.
Response time, luminance and color may be changed by ambient temperature. Display mura, flicker, vertical seam or small spot may be observ ed depending on display patterns. Optical characteristics (e.g. luminance, display uniformity, etc.) gradually is going to change
depending on operating time, and especially low temperature, because the LCD has cold cathode fluorescent lamps.
Do not display the fixed pattern for a long time because it may cause image sticking. Use a screen
saver, if the fixed pattern is displayed on the screen.
The display color may be changed depending on viewing angle because of the use of condenser sheet
in the backlight.
Optical characteristics may be changed depending on input signal timings. The interference noise between input signal frequency for this product's signal processing board and
luminance control frequency of the inverter may appear on a display. Set up luminance control frequency of the inverter so that the interference noise does not appear.
After the product is stored under condition of low temperature or dark place for a long time, the cold
cathode fluorescent lamp may not be turned on under the same condition because of the general characteristic of cold cathode fluorescent lamp. In addition, when Luminance control ratio is low in pulse width modulation method inverter, the lamp may not be turned on. In this case, power should be supplied again.
6.3.4 Other
All VDD, VDDB, GND and GNDB terminals should be used without any non-connected lines. Do not disassemble a product or adjust variable resistors. See “REPLACEMENT MANUAL FOR INVERTER”, when replacing the inverter. Pack the product with original shipping package, in order to avoid any damages during transportation,
when returning the product to NEC for repair and so on.
The LCD module by itself or integrated into end product should be packed and transported with
display in the vertical position. Otherwise the display characteristics may be degraded.
