(4) At testing Vibration and Shock, the fixture in holding the Module to be tested have to be
hard and rigid enough so that the Module would not be twisted or bent by the fixture.
The following items are measured under stable conditions. The optical characteristics
should be measured in a dark room or equivalent state with the methods shown in Note (5).

Note 5) After stabilizing and leaving the panel alone at a given temperature for 30 min , the measurement
should be executed. Measurement should be executed in a stable, windless,and dark room.
30 min after lighting the backlight. This should be measured in the center of screen.
