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.

.tw
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.

om
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) 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 (Notebook PC Bezel, for
d.c
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) 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
slc
(IEC60950 or UL1950), or be applied exemption.
13) Disconnecting power supply before handling LCD modules, it can prevent electric shock, DO
NOT TOUCH the electrode parts, cables, connectors and LED circuit part of TFT module that
a LED light bar build in as a light source of back light unit. It can prevent electrostatic
w.y

breakdown.

Note 9. Definition of viewing angle

Viewing angle is the measurement of contrast ratio ≧10, at the screen center, over a 180° horizontal and 180°
vertical range (off-normal viewing angles). The 180° viewing angle range is broken down as follows; 90° (θ)
horizontal left and right and 90° (Φ) vertical, high (up) and low (down). The measurement direction is typically
perpendicular to the display surface with the screen rotated about its center to develop the desired measurement
viewing angle.

source (at the end of T9).
-when no main link data, or invalid video data, is received from the source. Black video must be displayed
within 64ms (typ) from the start of either condition. Video data can be deemed invalid based on MSA and
