(8) Install the LCD Module by using the mounting holes. When mounting the LCD module make sure it is free of twisting,
warping and distortion. In particular, do not forcibly pull or bend the I/O cable or the backlight cable.
(9) Do not attempt to disassemble or process the LCD module.
(10) NC terminal should be open. Do not connect anything.
(11) If the logic circuit power is off, do not apply the input signals.
(12) To prevent destruction of the elements by static electricity, be careful to maintain an optimum work environment.
- Be sure to ground the body when handling the LCD modules.
- Tools required for assembling, such as soldering irons, must be properly grounded.
- To reduce the amount of static electricity generated, do not conduct assembling and other work under dry conditions.
- The LCD module is coated with a film to protect the display surface. Exercise care when peeling off this protective film
since static electricity may be generated.
Storage Precautions
When storing the LCD modules, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or to the light of fluorescent lamps. Keep the modules in
bags (avoid high temperature / high humidity and low temperatures below 0C). Whenever possible, the LCD modules should
be stored in the same conditions in which they were shipped from our company.
Others
Liquid crystals solidify under low temperature (below the storage temperature range) leading to defective orientation or the
generation of air bubbles (black or white). Air bubbles may also be generated if the module is subject to a low temperature.
If the LCD modules have been operating for a long time showing the same display patterns, the display patterns may remain
on the screen as ghost images and a slight contrast irregularity may also appear. A normal operating status can be regained by
suspending use for some time. It should be noted that this phenomenon does not adversely affect performance reliability.
To minimize the performance degradation of the LCD modules resulting from destruction caused by static electricity etc.,
exercise care to avoid holding the following sections when handling the modules.
- Exposed area of the printed circuit board.
- Terminal electrode sections.

(2) When assembling the LCM into other equipment, the spacer to the bit between the LCM and the fitting plate should
have enough height to avoid causing stress to the module surface, refer to the individual specifications for measurements. The
measurement tolerance should be 0.1mm.

Storage
When storing LCDs as spares for some years, the following precaution are necessary.
(1) Store them in a sealed polyethylene bag. If properly sealed, there is no need for dessicant.
(2) Store them in a dark place. Do not expose to sunlight or fluorescent light, keep the temperature between 0C and 35C.
(3) The polarizer surface should not come in contact with any other objects. (We advise you to store them in the container in
which they were shipped.)
(4) Environmental conditions :
- Do not leave them for more than 168hrs. at 60C.
- Should not be left for more than 48hrs. at -20C.
Safety
(1) It is recommended to crush damaged or unnecessary LCDs into pieces and wash them off with solvents such as acetone
and ethanol, which should later be burned.
(2) If any liquid leakes out of a damaged glass cell and comes in contact with the hands, wash off thoroughly with soap and
water.
Limited Warranty
Unless agreed between DISPLAYTECH and customer, DISPLAYTECH will replace or repair any of its LCD modules
which are found to be functionally defective when inspected in accordance with DISPLAYTECH LCD acceptance standards
(copies available upon request) for a period of one year from date of shipments. Cosmetic/visual defects must be returned to
DISPLAYTECH within 90 days of shipment. Confirmation of such date shall be based on freight documents. The warranty
liability of DISPLAYTECH limited to repair and/or replacement on the terms set forth above. DISPLAYTECH will not be
responsible for any subsequent or consequential events.
