1. Application
This specification applies to a color TFT-LCD module, QD15XL13.
2. Overview
This module is a color active matrix LCD module incorporating amorphous silicon TFT
(Thin Film Transistor). It is composed of a color TFT-LCD panel, driver ICs, control circuit
and power supply circuit and a backlight unit. Graphics and texts can be displayed on a

ignaling) to interface and supplying +3.3V DC supply voltage for TFT-LCD panel driving
and supply voltage for backlight.
The TFT-LCD panel used for this module has very high aperture ratio. A low-reflection and
higher-color-saturation type color filter is also used for this panel. Therefore, high-
brightness and high-contrast image, which is suitable for the multimedia use, can be
obtained by using this module.
Optimum viewing direction is 6 o'clock.

Note3】 Lamp frequency may produce interference with horizontal synchronous
frequency, and this may cause beat on the display. Therefore lamp frequency shall be
detached as much as possible from the horizontal synchronous frequency and from the
harmonics of horizontal synchronous to avoid interference.

Kick-off voltage at Ta = 0℃ exceeds maximum value.
Note) The performance of the backlight, for example life time or brightness, is much
influenced by the characteristics of the DC-AC inverter for the lamp. When you design or
order the inverter, please make sure that a poor lighting caused by the mismatch of the
backlight and the inverter (miss-lighting, flicker, etc.) never occur. When you confirm it, the
module should be operated in the same condition as it is installed in your instrument.

Handling Precautions
a) Be sure to turn off the power supply when inserting or disconnecting the cable.
b) Be sure to design the cabinet so that the module can be installed without any extra
stress such as warp or twist.
c) Since the front polarizer is easily damaged, pay attention not to scratch it.
d) Wipe off water drop immediately. Long contact with water may cause discoloration or
spots.
e) When the panel surface is soiled, wipe it with absorbent cotton or other soft cloth.
f) Since the panel is made of glass, it may break or crack if dropped or bumped on hard
surface. Handle with care.
g) Since CMOS LSI is used in this module, take care of static electricity and injure the
QD15XL1301 Page
17/21
human earth when handling.
h) Observe all other precautionary requirements in handling components.
i) This module has its circuitry PCBs on the rear side and should be handled carefully in
order not to be stressed.
j) Laminated film is attached to the module surface to prevent it from being scratched .
Peel the film off slowly just before the use with strict attention to electrostatic
charges. Ionized air shall be blown over during the action. Blow off the 'dust' on the
polarizer by using an ionized nitrogen gun, etc..
k) Mounting screw hole can stand torque 1.3~1.5 Kgf-cm.
