LCX011AM

E96919A94-PS

3.6cm (1.43-inch) LCD Panel (with microlens)

Description

The LCX011AM is a 3.6cm diagonal active matrix
TFT-LCD panel addressed by polycrystalline silicon
super thin film transistors with built-in peripheral
driving circuit. This panel allows full-color representation
without color filters through the use of a microlens.

This panel provides a wide aspect ratio of 16:9,
such as those represented in HD. The built-in side­black function also allows an aspect ratio of 4:3 in
the NTSC/PAL mode.

This panel has a polysilicon TFT high-speed scanner
and built-in function to display images up/down
and/or right/left inverse. The built-in 5V interface
circuit leads to lower voltage of timing and control
signals.

Features

• The number of active dots: 768,000 (1.43-inch; 3.6cm in diagonal)

• Horizontal resolution: 600TV lines

• Effective aperture ratio: 70% (reference value)

• High contrast ratio with normally white mode: 200 (typ.)

• Built-in H and V drivers (built-in input level conversion circuit, 5V driving possible)

• NTSC/NTSC-WIDE/HD (band: 20MHz) mode selectable

(PAL/PAL-WIDE mode also available through conversion of scanned dot numbers by an external IC)

• Up/down and/or right/left inverse display function

• Side-black function

• 16:9 and 4:3 aspect-ratio switching function

Element Structure

• Dots

16:9 display: 1599.5 (H) × 480 (V) = 767,760

4:3 display: 1199.5 (H) × 480 (V) = 575,760

• Built-in peripheral driver using polycrystalline silicon super thin film transistors.

Applications

Input Equivalent Circuit

To prevent static charges, protective diodes are provided for each pin except the power supply. In addition,
protective resistors are added to all pins except video signal input. All pins are connected to VSS with a high
resistance of 1MΩ (typ.). The equivalent circuit of each input pin is shown below: (The resistor value: typ.)
