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.

4.8 DISPLAY COLORS AND INPUT DATA SIGNALS
This product can display in equivalent to 16,777,216 colors in 256 gray scales in each RGB sub-pixel. Also
the relation between display colors and input data signals is as the following table.
0 0 0 No correction (Initial setting)
0 0 1 Correction according to the LUT Data. Note1
*Other combinations are prohibited, and may cause function error.
Note1: Initial setting of the LUT is undefined data. The LUT should be enabled by setting of the GMA after
writing the LUT data in all the 256 addresses, in order to avoid undefined data display.
Note2: Transfer the data every power-on, because the LUT data isn't stored in the LCD module.
Note3: As writing and reading the LUT data, a noise may appear on the display image. In order to prevent
the noise appearing on the display, following measures should be performed.
(1)The LUT data should be rewritten during invalid period of pixel data (See "4.9 INPUT
SIGNAL TIMINGS".).
(2)The LUT data should be rewritten when the Gamma Correction is OFF (GMA[2:0] = 000).

wrong operations.
This sign has the meaning that customer will be injured by himself, if customer has
wrong operations.
6.2 CAUTIONS
∗ Do not touch the working backlight. There is a danger of an electric shock.
NL160120AC27-22B
∗ Do not touch the working backlight . There is a danger of burn injury.
∗ Do not shock and press the LCD panel and the backlight! There is a danger of breaking,
because they are made of glass. (Shock: To be not greater 294m/s

and to be not greater
11ms, Pressure: To be not greater 19.6N (φ16mm jig))
6.3 ATTENTIONS
6.3.1 Handling of the product
① Take hold of both ends without touching the circuit board when the product (LCD module) is picked up
from inner packing box to avoid broken down or misadjustment, because of stress to mounting parts on the
circuit board.
② Do not hook nor pull cables such as lamp cable, and so on, in order to avoid any damage.
③ When the product is put on the table temporarily, display surface must be placed downward.
④ When handling the product, take the measures of electrostatic discharge with such as earth band, ionic
shower and so on, because the product may be damaged by electrostatic.
⑤ The torque for product mounting screws must never exceed 0.735 N⋅m. Higher torque might result in
distortion of the bezel. And the length of product mounting screws must be ≤ 4.7mm.

ཱུ The product must be installed using mounting holes without undue stress such as bends or twist (See
outline drawings). And do not add undue stress to any portion (such as bezel flat area). Bends or twist
described above and undue stress to any portion may cause display mura.
Recommended installing method: Ideal plane "A" is defined by one mounting hole (datum point) and
other mounting holes. The ideal plane "A" should be the same plane within r0.3 mm.

ྲྀ Do not press or rub on the sensitive product surface. When cleaning the product surface, use of the
cloth with ethanolic liquid such as screen cleaner for LCD is recommended.
ཷ Do not push nor pull the interface connectors while the product is working.
ླྀ When handling the product, use of an original protection sheet on the product surface (polarizer) is
recommended for protection of product surface. Adhesive type protection sheet may change color or
characteristics of the polarizer.
ཹ Usually liquid crystals don't leak through the breakage of glasses because of the surface tension of thin
layer and the construction of LCD panel. But, if you contact with liquid crystal for the worst, please wash
it out with soap.

6.3.2 Environment
Do not operate or store in high temperature, high humidity, dewdrop atmosphere or corrosive gases.
Keep the product in packing box with antistatic pouch in room temperature to avoid dusts and sunlight,
when storing the product.
ཱ In order to prevent dew condensation occurring by temperature difference, the product packing box
should be opened after enough time being left under the environment of an unpacking room. Evaluate
the leaving time sufficiently because a situation of dew condensation occurring is changed by the
environmental temperature and humidity. (Recommended leaving time: 6 hours or more with packing
state)

6.3.3 Characteristics
The following items are neither defects nor failures.
① Response time, luminance and color may be changed by ambient temperature.
② Display mura, flicker, vertical seam or small spot may be observ ed depending on display patterns.
③ 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.
④ 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.
⑤ The display color may be changed depending on viewing angle because of the use of condenser sheet
in the backlight.
⑥ Optical characteristics may be changed depending on input signal timings.
⑦ 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.
⑧ 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
① All VDD, VDDB, GND and GNDB terminals should be used without any non-connected lines.
② Do not disassemble a product or adjust variable resistors.
③ See “REPLACEMENT MANUAL FOR INVERTER”, when replacing the inverter.
④ 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.
⑤ 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.
