High luminance, Wide viewing angle, Reversible scan direction

DESCRIPTION

NL8060BC31-17 is a TFT (thin film transistor) active matrix color liquid crystal display (LCD) module comprising

amorphous silicon TFT attached to each signal electrode, a driving circuit, and a backlight.

NL8060BC31-17 has a built-in backlight. The backlight includes long-life-lamps and the lamps are replaceable

with a holder.

The 31 cm diagonal display area contains 800 × 600 pixels and can display 262144 color simultaneously.
NL8060BC31-17 is suitable for industrial application use, because the viewing angle is wide and the luminance

is high. Also, the viewing direction is selectable either upper or lower side by changing scan direction.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS

A color TFT (thin film transistor) LCD module is comprised of a TFT liquid crystal panel structure, LSIs for driving
the TFT array, and a backlight assembly. The TFT panel structure is created by sandwiching liquid crystal material
in the narrow gap between a TFT array glass substrate and a color filter glass substrate. After the driver LSIs are
connected to the panel, the backlight assembly is attached to the backside of the panel.

RGB (red, green, blue) data signals from a source system is modulated into a form suitable for active matrix
addressing by the onboard signal processor and sent to the driver LSIs which in turn addresses the individual TFT
cells.

Acting as an electro-optical switch, each TFT cell regulates light transmission from the backlight assembly when
activated by the data source. By regulating the amount of light passing through the array of red, green, and blue
dots, color images are created with clarity.
