The backlight may be flashed if the interface signal remains floated when the above-mentioned signal
becomes invalid.
Note (1) The power voltage from system shall be supplied to the input pin of LCD constantly.
(2) Enable the voltage to the LED within the range, which the LCD is operated. The screen becomes
white when turning the back-light on before the LCD is operated or turning the LCD off before
turning the back-light off. Operation or the LCD turns off before the back-light turns off, the display
may momentarily become white.
(3) Don’t leave the system at a high impedance state, which the interface signal is out for a long time
after the Vcc is enabled.
(4) The T4 should be measured the module is fully discharged.
(5) The interface signal shall not maintain the high impedance when the power is on.

10. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
10.1 HANDLING
(a) When the module is assembled, It should be attached to the system firmly using every mounting holes.
Be careful not to twist and bend the modules.
(b) Refrain from strong mechanical shock and / or any force to the module. In addition to damage, this may
cause improper operation or damage to the module and CCFT back-light.
(c) Note that polarizers are very fragile and could be easily damaged. Do not press or scratch the surface
harder than a HB pencil lead.
(d) Wipe off water droplets or oil immediately. If you leave the droplets for a long time, Staining and
discoloration may occur.
(e) If the surface of the polarizer is dirty, clean it using some absorbent cotton or soft cloth.
(f) The desirable cleaners are water, IPA (Isoprophyl Alcohol) or Hexane. Do not use Ketone type materials(ex.
Acetone), Ethyl alcohol, Toluene, Ethyl acid or Methyl chloride. It might permanent damage to the polarizer
due to chemical reaction.
(g) If the liquid crystal material leaks from the panel, it should be kept away from the eyes or mouth .In case
of contact with hands, legs or clothes, it must be washed away thoroughly with soap.
(h) Protect the module from static , it may cause damage to the C-MOS Gate Array IC.
(i) Use fingerstalls with soft gloves in order to keep display clean during the incoming inspection and assembly
process.
(j) Do not disassemble the module.
(k) Do not pull or fold the LED FPC.
(l) Do not touch any component which is located on the back side.
(m) Protection film for polarizer on the module shall be slowly peeled off just before use so that the
electrostatic charge can be minimized.
(n) Pins of I/F connector shall not be touched directly with bare hands.

10.2 STORAGE
We highly recommend to comply with the criteria in the table below.
ITEM Unit Min. Max.
Storage
Temperature
Storage
Humidity
Storage Life 12 months
Storage
Condition
- The storage room should be equipped with a good ventilation facility, which has a
temperature controlling system.
- Products should be placed on the pallet, which is away from the wall not on the floor.
- Prevent products from being exposed to the direct sunlight, moisture, and water.;
Be cautious not to pile the products up.
- Avoid storing products in the environment, which other hazardous material is placed.
- If products are delivered or kept in the storage facility more than 3 months,we recommend
you to leave products under the condition including a 20℃ temperature and a humidity of
50% for 24 hours.
- If you store semi-manufactured products for more than 3 months, bake the products under
the condition including the 50℃ temp. and the 10% humidity for 24hrs after being used.
(℃) 5 40
(%rH) 35 75
10.3 OPERATION
(a) Do not connect, disconnect the module in the “ Power On” condition.
(b) Power supply should always be turned on/off by following item 6.3 “ Power on/off sequence “.
(c) Module has high frequency circuits. Sufficient suppression to the electromagnetic interference shall be
done by system manufacturers. Grounding and shielding methods may be important to minimize the
interference.
(d) The FPC cable between the LED chips and its converter power supply shall be a minimized length and be
connected directly .The longer cable between the back-light and the converter may cause lower luminance
of light source (LED).
(e) The standard limited warranty is only applicable when the module is used for general notebook
applications. If used for purposes other than as specified, SEC is not to be held reliable for the defective
operations. It is strongly recommended to contact SEC to find out fitness for a particular purpose.

10.4 OTHERS
(a) Ultra-violet ray filter is necessary for outdoor operation.
(b) Avoid condensation of water. It may result in improper operation or disconnection of electrode.
(c) Do not exceed the absolute maximum rating value. ( the supply voltage variation, input voltage variation,
Variation in part contents and environmental temperature, so on) Otherwise the module may be damaged.
(d) If the module displays the same pattern continuously for a long period of time, it can be the situation when
The image “sticks” to the screen.
(e) This module has its circuitry PCB’s on the rear side and should be handled carefully in order not to be
stressed.
