6) TFT-COM adjustment

Outline: Due to the large LCD, COM voltage varies depending on the combination of MC PCB and LCD. COM voltage adjustment is indispensable because LCD deteriorates and its life becomes shorter and image quality decline such as "line flicker" or "burning-out" occurs if COM voltage is not an optimum value. Optimum COM voltage can be found easily by judging line flicker visually.
