STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS

A TFT color LCD module comprised a TFT LCD panel, LSIs for driving liquid crystal, and a backlight. The TFT LCD panel is composed of a TFT array glass substrate superimposed on a color filter glass substrate with liquid crystal filled in the narrow gap between two substrates. The backlight apparatus is located on the backside of the LCD panel.

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) data signals are sent to LCD panel drivers after modulation into suitable forms for active matrix addressing through signal processor.

Each of the liquid crystal cells acts as an electro-optical switch that controls the light transmission from the backlight by a signal applied to a signal electrode through the TFT switch.

Notes1. Apply VDCB within the LCD operation period. When the backlight turns on before LCD operation or the

LCD operation turns off before the backlight turns off, the display may momentarily become white.

2. When the VDC is off, please keep whole logic signals at “0 V.” In case of the signal more than “0.3 V,” internal circuit may get damaged.

3. Please turn off V

DC when the signals are put off. If the signals are put off without keep VDC, the display

may be un-uniformity.

4. Reference value.

5. While the power is off, please keep whole signals (HS, VS, EXTCLK) at low level or high impedance.

6. Wrong power sequence may damage to the module.
