1. Precautions and Safety Notices
1. Appropriate Operation
(1) Turn off the product before cleaning.
(2) Use only a dry soft cloth when cleaning the LCD panel surface.
(3) Use a soft cloth soaked with mild detergent to clean the display housing.
(4) Disconnect the power plug from AC outlet if the product is not used for a long period of
time.
(5) If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately switch the LCD display
off.
(6) Do not touch the LCD panel surface with sharp or hard objects.
(7) Do not place heavy objects on the LCD display, video cable, or power cord.
(8) Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents for your cleaning.
(9) Do not operate the product under the following conditions:
- Extremely hot, cold or humid environment.
- Areas susceptible to excessive dust and dirt.
- Near any appliance generating a strong magnetic field.
- Place in direct sunlight.
2. Caution
No modification of any circuit should be attempted. Service work should only be performed after
you are thoroughly familiar
with all of the following safety checks and servicing guidelines.
3. Safety Check
Care should be taken while servicing this LCD display. Because of the high voltage used in the
inverter circuit, the voltage is exposed in such areas as the associated transformer circuits.
4. Power Supply Requirements
The external AC power operating range shall be from 90 to 264Vac
5. LCD Module Handling Precautions
5.1. Handling Precautions
(1) Since front polarizer is easily damaged, pay attention not to scratch it.
(2) Be sure to turn off power supply when inserting or disconnecting from input connector.
(3) Wipe off water drop immediately. Long contact with water may cause discoloration or
spots.
(4) When the panel surface is soiled, wipe it with absorbent cotton or other soft cloth.
(5) Since the panel is made of glass, it may break or crack if dropped or bumped on hard
surface.
(6) Since CMOS LSI is used in this module, take care of static electricity and insure human
earth when handling.
(7) Do not open nor modify the Module Assembly.
(8) Do not press the reflector sheet at the back of the module to any directions.
(9) In case if a Module has to be put back into the packing container slot after once it was
taken out from the container, do not press the center of the CCFL Reflector edge.
Instead, press at the far ends of the CFL Reflector edge softly. Otherwise the TFT
Module may be damaged.
(10) At the insertion or removal of the Signal Interface Connector, be sure not to rotate nor
tilt the Interface Connector of the TFT Module.
(11) After installation of the TFT Module into an enclosure (LCD monitor housing, for
example), do not twist nor bend the TFT Module even momentary. At designing the
enclosure, it should be taken into consideration that no bending/twisting forces are
applied to the TFT Module from outside. Otherwise the TFT Module may be damaged.
(12) Cold cathode fluorescent lamp in LCD contains a small amount of mercury. Please
follow local ordinances or regulations for disposal.
(13) Small amount of materials having no flammability grade is used in the LCD module.

The LCD module should be supplied by power complied with requirements of Limited
Power Source (IEC60950 or UL1950), or be applied exemption.
(14) The LCD module is designed so that the CFL in it is supplied by Limited Current
Circuit (IEC60950 or UL1950). Do not connect the CFL in Hazardous Voltage Circuit.
5.2. Handling and Placing Methods
Correct Methods: Incorrect Methods:

The following tips may help you optimize your display:
• Adjust the computer's graphics card so that it outputs a 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz video signal to
the LCD display. (Look for instructions on “changing the refresh rate” in the graphics card's
user guide.)
• If necessary, make small adjustments using H. POSITION and V. POSITION until the
screen image is completely visible
. (The black border around the edge of the screen should
barely touch the illuminated “active area” of the LCD display.)

Main Menu Controls
Adjust the menu items shown below by using the upSand downTbuttons.
ControlExplanation
Auto Image Adjust automatically sizes, centers, and fine tunes the video signal
to eliminate waviness and distortion. Press the [2] button to obtain a sharper
image.
NOTE: Auto Image Adjust works with most common video cards. If this
function does not work on your LCD display, then lower the video refresh rate
to 60 Hz and set the resolution to its pre-set value.
Contrast adjusts the difference between the image background (black level)
and the foreground (white level).
Brightness adjusts background black level of the screen image.
Color Adjust provides several color adjustment modes, including preset color
temperatures and a User Color mode which allows independent adjustment of
red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The factory setting for this product is 6500K
(6500 Kelvin).
9300K-Adds blue to the screen image for cooler white (used in most office
settings with fluorescent lighting).
6500K-Adds red to the screen image for warmer white and richer red.
5400K-Adds green to the screen image for a darker color.
User Color Individual adjustments for red (R), green (G),and blue (B).
1. To select color (R, G or B) press button [2].
2. To adjust selected color, pressSorT.
Important: If you select RECALL from the Main Menu when the product is set
to a Preset Timing Mode, colors return to the 6500K factory preset.

4. Circuit Description
A. DC-DC CONVERTER
This brick convert is the 110-220AC input voltage to 12V AND 5V output for invert use and
panel use and system controller use .
5V Out put at L804
VCC 12V In put at L803,F901
B. Scaling controller
The ADC is to convert RGB analog signal to digital signal that scaling chip can acknowledge.
The HSYNC input receives a logic signal and provides the frequency reference for pixel clock
generation.
The scaling IC is to converts the input signal ranging from VGA to SXGA into SXGA
resolution that panel can acknowledge.
The scaling IC is to converts the input signal ranging from VGA to SXGA into SXGA
resolution that panel can acknowledge.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TSUM16AK is total solution graphics processing IC for LCD monitors with panel
resolutions up to SXGA. It is configured with a high-speed integrated triple-ADC/PLL, a high
quality display processing engine, and an integrated output display interface that can support
LVDS panel interface format. To further reduce system costs, the TSUM16AK also integrates
intelligent power management control capability for green-mode requirements and
spread-spectrum support for EMI management.
The TSUM16AK incorporates the world’s first coherent oversampled RGB graphics ADC in a
monitor controller system1. The oversampling ADC samples the input RGB signals at a
frequency that is much higher than the signal source pixel rate. This can preserve details in the
video signal that ordinarily would be lost due to input signal jitter or bandwidth limitations in
non-oversampled systems.
The TSUM16AK also incorporates a new Dynamic Frame Rate (DFR) generator2 for the
digital output video to the display panel that preserves the advantages of a fixed output clock
rate, while eliminating the output end of frame short-line.

1280*1024@60/75Hz
- Normally when the primary mode 1280*1024@60Hz is well adjusted and compliant
with the specification, the secondary display modes will be great possible to be
compliant with the spec. But we still have to check with the general test pattern to
make sure every secondary is compliant with the specification.
