 1.0 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
www.DataSheet4U.com
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) At the insertion or removal of the Signal Interface Connector, be sure not to rotate nor tilt the Interface
Connector of the TFT-LCD module.
10) After installation of the TFT-LCD module into an enclosure (LCD monitor housing, for example), do not
twist nor bend the TFT -LCD module even momentary. At designing the enclosure, it should be taken into
consideration that no bending/twisting forces are applied to the TFT -LCD module from outside.
Otherwise the TFT -LCD module may be damaged.

Note 1: Duration=50 [msec]

Note 2: CCFL Frequency should be carefully determined to avoid interference between inverter and TFT LCD
Note 3: CCFL inverter should be able to give out a power that has a generating capacity of over 1700 voltage.
Lamp units need 1700 voltage minimum for ignition
Note 4: Calculator value for reference (ICFL×VCFL=PCFL)
Note 5: Lamp soldering method is required to use “Hook Soldering”.

 6.1.2 Shipping Conditions
The display module operates error free, after the following conditions;
0 0
Temperature -20 C to 60 C
Relative Humidity 8% to 95%
0
Wet Bulb Temperature 39.0 C

6.2 Atmospheric Pressure

The display assembly is capable of being operated without affecting its operations over the pressure range
as following specified;

www.DataSheet4U.com Pressure Note

Maximum Pressure 1040hPa 0m = sea level
Minimum Pressure 674hPa 3048m = 10.000 feet
Note : Non-operation attitude limit of this display module = 30,000 feet. = 9145 m.

6.3 Thermal Shock

The display module will not sustain damage after being subjected to 100 cycles of rapid temperature
0 0
change. A cycle of rapid temperature change consists of varying the temperature from -20 C to 60 C, and
back again.
0
Thermal shock cycle -20 C for 30min
0
60 C for 30min

Power is not applied during the test. After temperature cycling, the unit is placed in normal room ambient for
at least 4 hours before powering on.

7.0 Reliability
This display module and the packaging of that will comply following standards.

7.1 Failure Criteria

The display assembly will be considered as failing unit when it no longer meets any of the requirements
stated in this specification. Only as for maximum white luminance, following criteria is applicable.
2
Note : Maximum white Luminance shall be 115 cd/m or more.

7.2 Failure Rate

The average failure rate of the display module (from first power-on cycle till 1,000 hours later) will not exceed 1.0%.
The average failure rate of the display module from 1,000 hours until 16,000 hours will not exceed 0.7%
per 1000 hours.

 7.2.1 Usage
The assumed usage for the above criteria is:
220 power-on hours per month
500 power on/off cycles per month
Maximum brightness setting
0
Operation to be within office environment (25 C typical)

7.2.2 Component De-rating

All the components used in this device will be checked the load condition to meet the failure rate criteria.

7.3 CCFL
www.DataSheet4U.com Life
The assumed CCFL Life will be longer than 30,000 hours, typical value is 40,000 hours under stable condition at 25
o
± 5 C;
Standard current at 7.0 ± 0.5mA.
Definition of life: brightness becomes 50% or less than the minimum luminance value of CCFL.

7.4 ON/OFF Cycle

The display module will be capable of being operated over the following ON/OFF Cycles.

ON/OFF Value Cycles

+Vin and CCFL power 30,000 10 seconds on / 10 seconds off

8.0 Safety
8.1 Sharp Edge Requirements
There will be no sharp edges or comers on the display assembly that could cause injury.

8.2 Materials
8.2.1 Toxicity
There will be no carcinogenic materials used anywhere in the display module. If toxic materials are used,
they will be reviewed and approved by the responsible AU Toxicologist.

8.2.2 Flammability
All components including electrical components that do not meet the flammability grade UL94-V1 in the
module will complete the flammability rating exception approval process. The printed circuit board will be
made from material rated 94-V1 or better. The actual UL flammability rating will be printed on the printed
circuit board.
