6.4 The sequence of power on and off – Sony Model attached Reference file
To prevent a latch-up phenomena or the DC operation of the LCD Module, the power on/off sequence should
be accorded with the settings described in the diagram below.
T1 : The VDD rising time from 10% to 90%
T2 : The time from the point which V
DD
reach to 90% of voltage to the point which the valid data is out when
the power is on.
T3: The time from the point which the valid data is out to the point which VDD reach to the 90% of voltage
when the power is off.
T4: the time from the point which the Vdd decrease to the point which the Vdd increase again for windows to
restart.
※ The recommended operating condition of the back light system
T5: The time which takes for B/L to be turned on after the signal is entered when the time is on.
T6 : The time which takes until the signal is out after BL is turned off
The condition of supply voltage to enter in the module from the external system should have
the same condition as the definition of VDD.
Apply the voltage for the lamp within the range which the LCD operates. when the back light is turned on
before the LCD is operated or when the LCD is turned off before the back light is turned off, the display may
show the abnormal screen momentarily.
While the V
DD
is off level, please keep the level of input signals low or keep a high impedance condition.
The figure of T4 should be measured after the module has been fully discharged between the periods
when the power is on and off.
The interface signal must not keep the high impedance condition when the power is on.

9. General precautions
9.1 Handling
(a) When the panel kit and BLU kit are assembled, the panel kit and BLU kit should be attached to the
set system firmly by combining each mounted holes. Be careful not to give the mechanical stress.
(b) Be careful not to give any extra mechanical stress to the panel when designing the set, and BLU kit.
(c) Be cautious not to give any strong mechanical shock and / or any forces to the panel kit.
Applying the any forces to the panel may cause the abnormal operation or the damage to the panel
kit and the back light unit kit.
(d) Refrain from applying any forces to the source PBA and the drive IC in the process of the handling
or installing to the set. If any forces are applied to the products, it may cause damage or a
malfunction in the panel kit.
(e) Refrain from applying any forces which cause a constant shock to the back side of panel kit, the set
design and BLU kit. If any forces are applied to the products, it may cause an abnormal display, a
functional failure and etc.
(f) Note that polarizer could be damaged easily.
Do not press or scratch the bare surface with the material which is harder than a HB pencil lead.
(g) Wipe off water droplets or oil immediately. If you leave the droplets for a long time on the product, a
staining or the discoloration may occur.
(h) If the surface of the polarizer is dirty, clean it using the absorbent cotton or the soft cloth.
(i) Desirable cleaners are water or IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol).
Do not use Kenton type materials (ex. Acetone), Ethyl alcohol, Toluene, Ethyl acid or Methyl chloride.
These might cause the permanent damage to the polarizer due to chemical reaction.
(j) If the liquid crystal material leaks from the panel, this should be kept away from the eyes or mouth.
If this contacts to hands, legs, or clothes, you must washed it away with soap thoroughly and see a
doctor for the medical examination.
(k) Protect the panel kit and BLU Kit out of the static electricity. Otherwise the circuit IC could be
damaged.
- Reference : Process control standard of SDC
All Equipment should be controlled under 150V.(Typ. 100V)
Carrying Roller should be controlled under 200V.
Equipment Ground
Resistance
All Equipment Ground Should be less than 1ohm.

(l) Remove the stains with finger-stalls wearing soft gloves in order to keep the display clean in the
process of the incoming inspection and the assembly process.
(m) Do not pull or fold the source drive IC which connects to the source PBA and the panel or the gate
drive IC.
(n) Do not pull, fold or bend the source drive IC and the gate drive IC in any processes.
If not, the source drive IC could be bent one time in the process of assembling the panel Kit and the
BLU Kit.
(o) Do not adjust the variable resistor located on the panel kit and BLU kit except when adjusting the
flicker.
(p) Do not touch the pins of the interface connector directly with bare hands.
(q) Be cautious not to be peeled off the protection film.
(r) The protection film for the polarizer on the panel kit should be slowly peeled off just before using so
that the electrostatic charge can be minimized.
(s) The panel kit and BLU kit have high frequency circuits. The sufficient suppression to the EMI should
be done by the set manufacturers.
(t) The set of which the panel is assembled shall not be twisted. If the product is twisted, it may cause
the damage on the product.
(u) Surface Temp. of IC should be controlled less than 100℃, operating over the Temp. can cause the
damage or decrease of lifetime.
- Make sure to peel off slowly
(It is recommended to peel it off at the speed of more than 8sec.
constantly.)
- The peeling direction is shown at the Fig
- Instruct the ground worker to work with the adequate methods
such as the antistatic wrist band.
- Maker sure to be grounded the source PBA while peeling of the
protection film.
- Ionized air should be blown over during the peeling
- The protection film should not t be contacted to the source drive
IC.
- If the adhesive stains remain on the polarizer after the
protection film is peeled off, please move stains with isopropylalcohol liquid.

9.2 Storage
The storage condition for packing
(1) The storage room should provide good ventilation and temperature control.
(2) Products should not be placed on the floor, but on the Pallet away from a wall.
(3) Prevent products from direct sunlight, moisture nor water; Be cautious of a buildup
of condensation.
(4) Avoid other hazardous environment while storing goods.
(5) If products delivered or kept in conditions of the recommended temperature or
humidity, we recommend you leave them at a circumstance which is shown in the
following table.
9.3 Operation
(a) Do not connect or disconnect the FFC cable during the "Power On" condition.
(b) Power supply should be always turned on and off by the "Power on/off sequence"
(c) The module has high frequency circuits. The sufficient suppression to the electromagnetic interference
should be done by the system manufacturers. The grounding and shielding methods is important to
minimize the interference.
(d) The cables between TV SET connector and Control PBA interface cable should be connected directly
to have a minimized length. A longer cable between TV SET connector and Control PBA interface
cable maybe operate abnormal display
(e) Recommend to age for over 1 hour at least in the state, which the product is driving initially to stabilize
the characteristic of the initial TFT.
(f) Response time depends on the temperature.( In Lower temperature, it becomes longer)

9.4 Operation condition guide
(a) The LCD product shall be operated under normal conditions.
The normal condition is defined as below;
- Temperature : 20±15℃
- Humidity : 55±20%
- Display pattern : continually changing pattern (Not stationary)
(b) If the product will be used under extreme conditions such as under the high temperature, humidity,
display patterns or the operation time etc.., it is strongly recommended to contact SDC for the
advice about the application of engineering . Otherwise, its reliability and the function may not be
guaranteed. Extreme conditions are commonly found at airports, transit stations, banks, stock
markets, and controlling systems.
9.5 Others
(a) The ultra-violet ray filter is necessary for the outdoor operation.
(b) Avoid the condensation of water which may result in the improper operation of product or the
disconnection of electrode.
(c) Do not exceed the limit on the absolute maximum rating. (For example, the supply voltage
variation, the input voltage variation, the variation in content of parts and environmental
temperature, and so on) If not, panel may be damaged.
(d) If the module keeps displaying the same pattern for a long period of time, the image may be
remained to the screen. To avoid the image sticking, it is recommended to use a screen saver.
(e) This Panel has its circuitry of PCB's on the rear side, so it should be handled carefully in order for a
force not to be applied.
(f) Please contact the SDC in advance when the same pattern is displayed for a long time
