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. LCD Module Handling Precautions

4.1 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.

The following tips may help you optimize your display:

• Adjust your computer's graphic card so that it outputs a video signal 1280 x

1024 @ 60Hz to the LCD display. (Look for instructions on "changing the
refresh rate" in your graphic 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.)

The command line at the
bottom of the control screen
tells what to do next from this
screen. You can toggle
between control screens,
adjust the selected option, or
exit the screen.

OSD Position

allows you to move the on-screen display menus

and control screens.

OSD Timeout

sets the length of time the on-screen display
screen is displayed. For example, with a “30 second” setting, if a
control is not pushed within 30 seconds, the display screen
disappears.

Control Explanation

Input Priority

If multiple computers will be connected to the display,
this function can be used to select which computer has priority
Depending on the selected Input Priority, the display will do a one
time detection for available inputs when first powered on.

For example: If the Input Priority setting is D-SUB=>D-SUB2=>DVI,
then the first priority will be given to D-SUB1 when the display turns
on. If there is no video signal on D-SUB1, then the next priority will be
given to D-SUB-2, etc… In the case of only one signal being present at
the three inputs, then the display will automatically detect and display
that signal.

The Input Priority setting can also be disabled. In this case, the input
will return to the last setting when the display is first turned on. The
user will need to control all the port settings manually under this
condition. Inputs can be switched quickly by pressing the "Up" arrow
button on the front panel controls.

Memory Recall

returns the adjustments back to factory settings
if the display is operating in a factory Preset Timing Mode listed
in the Specifications of this manual.

OSD Pivot

This function is used to rotate the OSD menu,

when the display is changed from Landscape to Portrait mode.

1. Power supply (DC/DC Converter)

The AP1501 is monolithic IC designed for M/B DC/DC converter, with the ability of driving a 3A load without any

additional transistor component.

The AP1501 operates at a switching frequency of 150 kHz and thus allows smaller-sized filter components than

would be needed with lower frequency switch regulator.

2. Flash Memory

The Pm39LV010R is a 1 Megabit, 3.3 Volt-only Flash Memory organized as 131,072 bytes of 8 bits each. This device is

designed to use a 3.0 Volt to 3.6 Volt power supply to perform in-system programming.

The 1 Megabit memory array is divided into thirty-two uniform blocks of 4 Kbytes each for data and/or code storage.

The block architecture allows users to flexibly make chip erase or block erase operation. The block erase feature allows a

particular block to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data in other blocks. After the device performs chip

4. LVDS (THC63LVDM8 3A)

The THC63LVDM83A transmitter converts 28 bits of CMOS/TTL data into LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling)

data stream. A phase-locked transmit clock is transmitted in parallel with the data streams over a fifth LVDS link. The

HC63LVDM83A can be programmed for rising edge or falling edge clocks through a dedicated pin. The THC63LVDF84A

receiver converts the LVDS data streams back into 28 bits of CMOS/TTL data with falling edge clock. At a transmit clock

frequency of 85MHz, 24 bits of RGB data and 4 bits of LCD timing and control data (HSYNC, VSYNC, CNTL1, CNTL2)

are transmitted at a rate of 595 Mbps per LVDS data channel.
