1. OUTLINE
1.1 STRUCTURE AND PRINCIPLE
Monochrome LCD module NL256204AM15-04A 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 monochrome-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. Monochrome images are created by regulating the
amount of transmitted light through the TFT array.

Note2: The power supply lines (VDDB and GNDB) have large ripple voltage (See "4.3.4 Power
supply voltage ripple".) during luminance control. There is the possibility that the ripple
voltage produces acoustic noise and signal wave noise in audio circuit and so on. Put a
capacitor (5,000 to 6,000PF) between the power supply lines (VDDB and GNDB) to reduce the
noise, if the noise occurred in the circuit.

*2: LVDS signals should be measured at the terminal of 100: resistance.
Note1: If there is a voltage variation (voltage drop) at the rising edge of VDD below 10.8V, there is a
possibility that a product does not work due to a protection circuit.
Note2: LVDS signals and CSR, CSL, SCLK, SDAT must be set to Low or High-impedance, except the
VALID period (See above sequence diagram), in order to avoid the circuitry damage .
If some of signals are cut while this product is working, even if the signal input to it once again,
it might not work normally. If a customer stops the display and function signals, VDD also must
be shut down.

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 50ms 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: See "4.6.2 Detail of BRTP timing".

4.8 DISPLAY GRAY SCALE AND INPUT DATA SIGNALS
This product can display 256 gray scales in each LCR sub-pixel and 766 gray scales per 1 pixel. Also the
relation between display gray scale and input data signals is as follows.
0 0 0 No correction (Initial setting)
001Correction 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).
