★4K（K＝1000） means the number of the horizontal pixels.

⇒ Four times the resolution of Full-HD

★2 kinds of 4K standard.

The horizontal axis direction signal is made by T-CON Board and output to the LCD panel to branch
each line via gate driver IC. Therefore The horizontal Bar/Line is caused by the failure of gate driver IC.

Gate driver IC is unable to replace. LCD panel module is required to replace.

The vertical axis direction signal is made by A-Board Board and output to the T-CON Board.
The T-CON Board controls the input timing and output signal to the LCD panel to branch each line
via source driver IC. Therefore The vertical Bar/Line is caused by the failure of source driver IC.

Source driver IC is unable to replace. LCD panel module is required to replace.

When a lot of vertical lines are placed at equal spaces, A-Board or T-CON Board of LCD panel is
failed.
There are both possibility of A-Board and T-CON Board. Please clarify by the test pattern.
The test pattern is outputted from T-CON Board.

When the test pattern has no problem, T-CON Board(LCD Panel Module) also has no problem.

OSD display abnormality

OSD (On Screen Display) is superimposed in
the signal processing IC of A-Board.
Therefore A-Board is failed.

Video image shift (Vertical axis direction)

Color abnormality

Color abnormality is the trouble in the signal processing.
Therefore A-Board is failed.
Please clarify by the test pattern.

Video image shift of vertical axis direction is
the trouble in the signal processing.
Therefore A-Board is failed.

The failure of video image：Nonuniformity

Nonuniformity ：Panel replacement

Nonuniformity

2014.11.12

36 /44

Panasonic Internal

The nonuniformity is caused by the failure of the backlight or the optical sheets in the LCD module.
These failures are supposed to be caused by strong impact force such as drop or mechanical
deformation.
The backlight or the optical sheets are unable to replace. LCD panel module is required to replace.
