Sony LCX023CMT Datasheet

3.3cm (1.3-inch) Black-and-White LCD Panel

Description

The LCX023CMT is a 3.3cm diagonal active matrix
TFT-LCD panel addressed by polycrystalline silicon
super thin film transistors with a built-in peripheral
driving circuit. Use of three LCX023ALB panels
provides a full-color representation. The striped
arrangement suitable for data projectors is capable
of displaying fine text and vertical lines.

The adoption of DMS (Dual Metal Shield) structure
realizes a high luminance screen. And new cross talk
free and ghost free structures contribute to high
picture quality.

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.

The panel contains an active area variable circuit
which supports S-XGA 5:4 and PC-98 8:5 data signals
by changing the active area according to the type of
input signal. Also incorporating microlens can increase
efficiency of incident light.

Input Equivalent Circuit

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

∗1

Input video signal shall be symmetrical to VVC.

∗2

The typical value of the common pad voltage may lower its suitable voltage according to the set construction
to use. In this case, use the voltage of which has maximum contrast as typical value.
When the typical value is lowered, the maximum and minimum values may lower.

∗3

Input a uniformity improvement signal PSIG in the same polarity with video signals VSIG1 to VSIG12 and
which is symmetrical to VVC. PSIG wave form is 2 steps like below, in the upper chart, upper shows signal
level of the 1st step, lower shows signal level of the 2nd step. Also, the rising and falling of PSIG are
synchronized with the rising of PCG pulse, and the rise time trPSIG and fall time tfPSIG are suppressed
within 450ns (as shown in a diagram below).

Level Conversion Circuit

The LCX023CMT has a built-in level conversion circuit in the clock input unit on the panel. The input signal
level increases to HVDD or VVDD. The VCC of external ICs are applicable to 5 ± 0.5V.
