When you apply the Module to your system or handle it, you must make sure to follow the
notices set forth below.
Notice to your system design
(1) The Module radiates the infrared rays of between 800 and 1000㎚. It may bring an
error in operating the IR-remote controller or another electric system. Please consider
(to) providing the IR absorb filter in your system, and evaluating it.
(2) The Module has a high-voltage switching circuit and a high-speed clock circuit.
Therefore, you have to apply and evaluate the EMC consideration of your system.
(3) The Module has a glass plate. In your mechanical design, please (consider to) avoid
any excessive shock and stress to the glass surface. Also be careful not to damage the
exhaust pipe at the corner of glass plate. If the glass plate and exhaust pipe are
damaged, the &Module may fail.
(4) Since PDP module is controlled by high voltage, all voltage should be discharged
immediately after the power is turned off.
(5) PDP module generates heat during operation. Heatproof design (radiation and
ventilation) should be considered from design stage. If the PDP module is used out of
the specified temperature range, it can result in a defect.
(6) The ventilation design in your system should have a back-cover that is able to prevent
moisture and dust from getting into the inside of the electric circuit, because the
Module has high-density electric parts with high-voltage. If the driver circuit has
condensation or dusts, it may cause a short circuit or dielectric breakdown.
(7) If an excessive stress (more than specified absolute maximum ratings in the voltage,
current, temperature etc.) is applied to the PDP module, it could cause a serious
damage. Do not use the module out of the ratings.
(8) Recommended usage condition of PDP module is limited to the general usage. Within
this range, the electrical characteristics of all components are guaranteed.
Semiconductors should be used within specified usage range. Usage out of the range
will result in decrease of reliability and defects in devices. If the usage or operating
condition is out of specification specified on the data sheet, it will be not covered from
the guaranteed range. If you were to use the product in the environment not stated in
the list, you should consult with SAMSUNG SDI prior to the usage.
(9) When the PDP module shows fixed pattern, there are possibilities of having the image
retention (the difference in brightness between turned-on and turned-off portion of
screen due to the different temperature and discharge) and image sticking (the
difference in brightness due to phosphor deterioration). To ensure the screen
performance, we suggest using the visual display area of PDP module and performing
the following methods.
A. If the customer is required to use the fixed pattern, reduce the maximum brightness
as low as possible, change the position of the displayed area or display the screen
saver or moving picture periodically.
B. If possible, change the displayed color to equalize the total displayed time for each
cell.
(10) In system design and evaluation process, you should consider the maximum
brightness level (image retention and image sticking).
(11) The PDP screen is displayed by image data signals and synchronized signals. If noise
interferes with the signals, the PDP screen could be unstable. Thus, when you design,
you should take measures to minimize the affects of noise

(12) For preventing from occurring condensation that consists of small drops of water
which form when warm water vapor in the air touches a cold surface such as a panel
glass moved from cold condition, the module need to be left in the room temperature
for minimum 8 hours in box condition before use.
(13) The customer has to consider their packing box to prevent from occurring
condensation during delivery to the End User from their packing material design stage.
(14) SAMSUNG SDI PDP module is a product for the computer, office automation, other
office supplies, industry and communication, measurement devices, personal and home
appliances. However, if you need to use the PDP module in particular situations, such
as defective or abnormal operations can directly affect human life, injuries and
damages in property could be caused, and high level of reliability is required
(aerospace equipments, nuclear control systems, vehicle controls, life-supporting
medical devices, etc.), you should consult with SAMSUNG SDI beforehand.
SAMSUNG SDI will not take any responsibility for the problems and defects occurred
in the course of usage without prior approval of SAMSUNG SDI
(15) Based on the requirements of the safety standard (UL, EN etc.), be sure to add the
filter that come up to the impact test to the glass plate
www.panelook.com
Notice to the operation and handling of the Module
(1) To prevent defect or failure, please check the cable connections and power-supply
condition before power-on.
(2) The Module is controlled by high voltage. Not only during operation but also
immediately after power-off, do not disconnect or reconnect the Module's connector
because it may result in failure. If you need to disconnect or reconnect, you have to
wait at least one minute after power-off.
(3) The Module is equipped with various protection circuits that automatically stop the
Module operation, if an interface signal or the power voltage becomes abnormal during
operation. If the Module stops suddenly during operation, please check the conditions
of input signal or power source before restarting.
(4) For the protection of the circuit, if an abnormal situation is occurred, the high output
voltage will be shut down by (watching) the internal input voltage (Vs/ Va/ Vcc). In
this case, the Module power resetting is necessary to recover. There are also fuses in
the Vs and Va power supply system to prevent smoking and firing by the excessive
current. The protecting function of the address driver of keeping a supervisory device
for the internal current is provided in the Va power supply system. Therefore, the
number of sub-frames decreases to a proper value when the Ia current exceeds a
constant value occasionally.
(5) If an abnormal situation such as disconnecting of the input connector occurs, this
Module will be on stand-by, which the supply of high output voltage is stopped even if
an external power is being supplied. If a normal signal is inputted after this, normal
operation state, operations can be restarted again by re-inputting a normal signal.
However, it is necessary to rest the Module power when tVH and/or tHV are less than
the minimum value provided in the specification
(6) To ensure reliable operation of the Module and to protect it from overheating, do not
wrap or cover it with a cloth or like a sheet during power-on period. Also, do not place
the Module in a confined space or any other places of poor ventilation.
(7) If you continue to watch the naked screen (without filter glass) for a long time, your
eyes could be fatigued. We recommend you rest your eyes occasionally. However,
Samsung SDI Confidential - 38/45 -
One step solution for LCD / PDP / OLED panel application: Datasheet, inventory and accessory!
according to the information currently available, watching PDP module for a long time
does not cause a direct harm to your eyes.
(8) The screen is controlled with the display-data signals and synchronized signals. If
noise interferes with those signals, the screen could become unstable and, in some case,
would cause a failure. Do not place any equipment that generates excessive EMI/RFI
noise near the interface cable of the Module, and keep the cables as short as possible.
(9) Be careful not to break the glass panel when you handle the Module. Also, when
handling the Module, you must wear gloves or other hand protection to prevent injuries
that can occur in case when the glass panel is broken.
(10) The glass panel section and drive circuit section of the Module are closely connected
and they function as a pair. If the Module is arbitrarily recombined, restructured, or
disassembled, SDI will not be responsible for the function, quality, or operational
integrity of the modified Module. Do not recombine, restructure, or disassemble it.
(Only, the Module for A/S is allowed to be recombined, restructured, or disassembled.)
(11) To avoid a possible electric shock, you must make sure that the power supply voltage
of Module is turned off before cleaning. To clean the module’s glass panel, apply water
or a natural detergent to a piece of soft cloth or gauze, and wring the cloth tightly before
wiping the screen. Make sure that no water comes in contact with the connecting
terminals on the side of the glass panel. Do not use chemical solvents, such as paint
thinner or benzene, to clean the glass panel.
(12) The drive circuit section of Module uses C-MOS integrated circuits that must be
protected from static electricity. Therefore, when transporting or delivering the Module,
be sure to put the Module in an antistatic bag. When handling the Module, take
adequate grounding precautions to prevent static electricity.
(13) When delivering or transporting the Module, you must take special precautions
because excessive vibration or shock should not be applied to it. If the Module is
dropped, or (if) excessive vibration/shock is applied, the glass panel of the Module may
be broken and the drive circuit may be damaged. The packing for delivering or
transporting should be made with strict instructions.
(14)The information and schematics shown in this specification are just examples of
display applications; it does not mean that they must be applied to your device for the
actual use. SAMSUNG SDI does not take any responsibility for the infringement of
patent or any other intellectual rights arising from the use of the information or
schematics in the document.
(15)If any part or technology of the product described in this specification become subject
to restrictions on export or any related laws or regulations, a prior permission is
required before exporting.
(16) The PDP module uses semiconductor devices. Since semiconductors are very
sensitive to static electricity, the following requirements should be conformed during
delivering, transferring and handling the PDP module: Remove the static electricity on
your body by wearing the earth-ring which must be connected to the ground through
high resistor (about 1M Ohm). It is recommended to wear the conductive clothes and
shoes, use conductive floor mats, and take other measures to minimize the static
electricity. All the equipments and tools must be connected to the ground and protected
from static electricity. When you deliver or transfer the PDP module, always use antistatic bag.
(17) If any device that can generate the high-voltage is located nearby the PDP module, it
could cause an abnormal operation. In such a case, you should take a countermeasure
to prevent against static electricity and discharges.
(18) If the PDP module is exposed to corrosive gases or contacted to oil, it could cause
chemical reactions and give unfavorable effects on the devices. If you intend to use the
www.panelook.com
Samsung SDI Confidential - 39/45 -
One step solution for LCD / PDP / OLED panel application: Datasheet, inventory and accessory!
PDP module under such conditions, you must consider the ways to avoid exposure or
to protect the PDP module before using it.
(19) The PDP module is not designed to endure radiation or cosmic radiation. Users must
install the proper shielding.
(20) The PDP module uses thermo-plastic devices. Since these devices are easy to be
damaged, do not use the PDP module nearby inflammable substances. If they are burnt,
poisonous gas will be emitted.
(21) To ensure the normal operation of the PDP module, the recommended operating
range should be required. The electrical properties of the PDP module are guaranteed
only when it is used within the recommended operating range. The PDP module must
be used within the range at all time. If you use it out of the range, it could give adverse
effects on its reliability or cause defects.
(22) Flexible cables connect electrodes on the panel glass and PCBs. Thus, do not apply
too much stress such as shock, vibration, pressure, or bending, to the surface of panel
glass, PCBs and flexible cables.
(23) If there is no special notice, the contents of this specification describe the product
with the initial parameters after shipment.
(24) Even if the panel glass is cleaned before shipping, there is a possibility of particle
remained on the panel. In this case, remove it prior to the usage. When you clean the
surface of the panel glass, use a piece of soft cloth with detergent to wipe off. Do not
use any chemical substances such as acid, alkali or organic detergent.
(25) The Module is composed of various kinds of materials such as glass, metals and
plastics. A qualified service technician is required for the disposal of the Module.

(2) If the module is stored for a long time, the discharge might not take place smoothly. In
this case, aging approximately for minimum 2 hours with a full white pattern is
suggested. Do aging once in every 6 months.
(3) Do not place the PDP module in the environment with a rapid temperature change in
order to avoid the condensation inside of the module.
(4) Do not open the packages at dusty place or the place where corrosive gases exist.
(5) Only qualified person can transfer the PDP module with a forklift or crane.
Notice to the repairing and fixing of the Module
The PDP module is a product made with various tests and adjustments hence, repairing
and fixing of PDP module is not allowed to conduct at customer’s place. The issue must be
handled separately from the specifications.
Notice of the Module performance
The Module is the newest display device utilizing the gas discharge technology and digital
signal processing technology, and its performances are mostly similar to those of CRT.
However, some display performances of the PDP module are different from the CRT's.
Please consider the following notices when you watch the screen.

(1) There is (a) slight Neon luminance shown outside of the effective display area on the
glass panel. Conceal these parts so that it may not be seen on the display surface.
(2) Depending on the type and time of usage, there may be a slight change in the Luminance
and color. There may be an increase of both X-value and Y-value by 0.05 at the
maximum in chromaticity. In this case, adjust it using the external data signal.
(3) Because the Module uses phosphor to emit a light, the phosphor, like a CRT, will be
deteriorated in proportion to the display signal and Luminance settings. If the same
pattern is displayed continuously (fixed display) for an extended period of time, the
Luminance of that area will be decreased over non-lit areas due to the fact that the
discharge surface will be more activated comparing to the other areas.
(4) When the Vsync signal timing becomes shorter right after the changing of Vsync
frequency (e.g. from 50㎐ to 60H / from 60㎐ to 70㎐) depending on the Multi-Vsync
function, an initial Vsync signal of the changed frequency will be disregarded and the
screen will be interrupted for 1 frame period in maximum.
(5) Because the Module is a digital processing display device, this Module is equipped with
the Error diffusion technology and a Duplicated Sub-Frame method to display the
grayscale and false contour improvement. However, you may sometimes find a color
false contour, especially in human facial contour, in moving picture due to the difference
of display performance comparing to the TV-tube.
(6) If the Module displays some video test patterns that are mostly used in a laboratory or
inspection process of the manufacturing facilities, you may find the following subjects.
But these subjects should not be recognized in the failure or defects because the display
performance of the Module is equipped with Error diffusion technology and Duplicated
Sub-Frame method (for PAL) based on digital processing technique.
A. Linearity in the grayscale test pattern
If the PDP module displays the grayscale test pattern (e.g. white color Luminance
is gradually changed horizontally or vertically) in a screen, you may find the
disparity of Luminance at adjacent grayscale patterns. This behavior is caused by
duplicated sub-frame condition (for PAL), display load correction and electroad
dependency.
B. Color contouring and dithering at the stationary picture
If the stationary picture such as a human face or the like is shown in the screen, you
may feel some unstable noise at the contour area. This behavior is called the color
contouring or dithering, and is caused by the error diffusion condition, display load
correction and electroad dependency.
(7) If the Module is operated under inadequate conditions or harsh environment, the screen
may become unstable or noisy. This instability is mostly related to ambient temperature,
air pressure, input signal instability (include signal noise), input power voltage and
strong magnetic field such as MRI/NMR application or superconducting magnet
application. Please do not apply the Module to inadequate conditions or harsh
environment mentioned above.

PDP DESIGN GUIDELINES AGAINST CORROSIVE GASES/HIGH HUMIDITY
During the PDP development stage , some materials which may generate corrosive
gas(es) or ions such as sulfur, sodium, and clorine, etc must not be allowed to use in the
modules.
If the material mentioned above is used or located close to the address terminals,
chemical reaction may occur and cause the modules to fail.
Samsung SDI Confidential - 41/45 -
One step solution for LCD / PDP / OLED panel application: Datasheet, inventory and accessory!
If customer wishes to use some materials due to unavoidable cause, then safe gap
between address terminals and the material(s) which may generate corrosive gas(es) is
minimum 5mm or customer must keep or deliver PDP always in room temperature and
room humidity state at any cases.It is a mandatory guide line to protect the modules from
corrosive gases or ions.
If some material contains sulfer (sulfur) ,Natrium (sodium) and Cloride , then Samsung
SDI strongly suggests customer to keep the guidelines.The weight of material containing
sulfer must be no more than 300ppm . The analysis of the sulfur weight is based on the
noramlized " ICP-AES" method.
