(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

ViewSonic Corporation Confidential – Do Not Copy VP920-1_VP920b-1

Power Source (IEC60950 or UL1950), or be applied exemption.

Analog Input

RTD2363 integrates three ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), one for each color (red, green, and
blue). The sync-processor can deal
with Separate-Sync, Composite-Sync, Sync-On-Green, and Sync-On-Y.
And the PLL can generate very low jitter clock from HS to sample the analog signal to digital data.
Input data is latched within a
capture window defined in registers refer to VS and HS leading edge. There are two sets of ADC input
pins in RTD2363 whose
internal switch can select one of them to display.
RTD2363 owns a capability to display YPbPr input source which normally come from DVD Player or
Setup-Box etc.. The YPbPr
source can be into 1st or 2nd ADC pins.

TMDS Input

RTD2363 integrates high-speed single link receiver and high bandwidth content protection (HDCP)
function. It can operate up to
165Mhz. It can effectively deal with the weak signal in long cable application which often cause signal
loss.

Scale-Down

The Scale-down function are basically composed of horizontal scale-down and vertical scale-down.
The horizontal scale-down can
config as linear or non-linear scale-down. In non-linear scale-down, we can set three segment for
different scaling ratio in order to
keep image detail less-lost in the center area and express the side area which we expect it less
important.
The low-pass filter in front of H/V scale-down plays a role of anti-aliasing filter. Moreover, the filter
prior to vertical scale-down can
be config as high-pass filter to serve as vertical peaking filter.

Overview

The EM6A9320 DDR SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS double data rate synchronous DRAM
containing 128 Mbits. It is internally configured as a quad 1M x 32 DRAM with a synchronous
interface (all signals are registered on the positive edge of the clock signal, CK).Data outputs occur at
both rising edges of CK and CK#.Read and write accesses to the SDRAM are burst oriented; accesses
start at a selected location and continue for a programmed number of locations in a programmed
sequence.Accesses begin with the registration of a BankActivate command, which is then followed by
a Read or Write command.
The EM6A9320 provides programmable Read or Write burst lengths of 2, 4, 8. An auto precharge
function may be enabled to provide a self-timed row precharge that is initiated at the end of the burst
sequence.

The refresh functions, either Auto or Self Refresh are easy to use.
In addition, EM6A9320 features programmable DLL option. By having a programmable mode register
and extended mode register, the system can choose the most suitable modes to maximize its
performance.
These devices are well suited for applications requiring high memory bandwidth, result in a device

particularly well suited to high performance main memory and graphics applicat

PIN CONFIGURATION & DESCRIPTION

A “CMOS output pin” means it can sink and drive at least 4mA current. It is not recommended to use
such pin as input function.
An “open drain pin” means it can sink at least 4mA current. It can be used as input or output function
and needs an external pull up resistor.
An “8051 standard pin” is a pseudo open drain pin. It can sink at least 4mA current when output is at
low level, and drives at least 4mA current for 160nS when output transits from low to high, then keeps
driving at 120 uA to maintain the pin at high level. It can be used as input or output function. It needs
an external pull up resistor when driving heavy load device.
There is an internal pull-up resistance on each CMOS PAD and an internal pull-down resistance on
each input

Low Power Reset (LVR) & Watchdog Timer

When the voltage level of power supply is below 2.4V (+/-0.4V) for a specific period of time, the LVR
generates a chip reset signal. After the power supply is above 2.4V (+/-0.4V)

INVERTER

In order to drive the CCFLs embedded in the panel module, there is a half bridge inverter to convert by
the controller.
The input 12V up to hundreds of AC voltage output.
The inverter is formed by symmetric in order to drive the separate lamp modules.
The input stage consists of a PWM controller, half bridge inverter, and switching MOSFET to convert
DC input into AC output.
The output stage consists of a tuning capacitor, coupling capacitor, transformer, push-pull MOSFET
pair to boost AC output up to hundreds of voltage.
And one resister is serial to lamp for output voltage feedback.
There are two signal to control the inverter which come from system.
Logic “high” level which send to I901 is turn on the inverter.
BRI signal control brightness by DC level which was integral from PWM signal.

1.5.13 Check for Secondary Display Modes

Test Signal:
Analog: 640*350@70Hz; 640*480@60HZ

720*400@70Hz; 800*600@60HZ/70HZ/75HZ
832*624@75Hz, 1024*768@60HZ/70HZ/75HZ
1280*1024@60/75Hz

Digital: 640*350@70Hz; 640*480@60HZ

720*400@70Hz; 800*600@60HZ/70HZ/75HZ
1024*768@60/70/72/75; 1152*870@75Hz,

1280*1024@60Hz/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.

1.5.14 All Modes Reset

After final QC step, we have to erase all saved changes again and restore the factory
defaults. You should do “All Mode Reset” again.

1.5.15 Power Off Monitor

Turn off the monitor by pressing “Power” button.
