10.0 HANDDLING & CAUTIONS

10.1 Mounting Method
 The panel of the LCM consists of two thin glasses with polarizer which easily get damaged.
So extreme care should be taken when handling the LCM.
 Excessive stress or pressure on the glass of the LCM should be avoided. Care must be taken
to insure that no torsional or compressive forces are applied to the LCM unit when it is mounted.
 If the customer's set presses the main parts of the LCM, the LCM may show the abnormal
display. But this phenomenon does not mean the malfunction of the LCM and should be pressed
by the way of mutual agreement.
 To determine the optimum mounting angle, refer to the viewing angle range in the
specification for each model.
 Mount a LCM with the specified mounting parts.

10.2 Caution of LCM Handling and Cleaning

 Since the LCM is made of glass, do not apply strong mechanical impact or static load onto it.
Handling with care since shock, vibration, and careless handling may seriously affect the product.
If it falls from a high place or receives a strong shock, the glass maybe broken.
 The polarizer on the surface of panel are made from organic substances. Be very careful
for chemicals not to touch the polarizer or it leads the polarizer to be deteriorated.
 If the use of a chemical is unavoidable, use soft cloth with solvent recommended below to
clean the LCM's surface with wipe lightly.
-IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol), Ethyl Alcohol, Tri-chloro, tri-florothane.
 Do not wipe the LCM's surface with dry or hard materials that will damage the polarizer and
others. Do not use the following solvent—Water, acetone, Aromatics.
 It is recommended that the LCM be handled with soft gloves during assembly, etc.
The polarizer on the LCM's surface are vulnerable to scratch and thus to be damaged by shape
particles.
 Do not drop water or any chemicals onto the LCM's surface.
 A protective film is supplied on the LCM and should be left in place until the LCM is required
for operation.
 The ITO pad area needs special careful caution because it could be easily corroded. Do not
contact the ITO pad area with HCFC, Soldering flux, Chlorine, Sulfur, saliva or fingerprint. To
prevent from the ITO corrosion, customers are recommended that the ITO area would be
covered by UV or silicon.
 Please handle FPC with care.

B A 121S01-100 Module Product Specification Pre.2 2014.07.10

10.3 Caution Against Static Charge

 The LCM use C-MOS LSI drivers, so customers are recommended that any unused input
terminal would be connected to Vdd or Vss, do not input any signals before power is turn on,
and ground you body, work/assembly area, assembly equipments to protect against static
electricity.
 Remove the protective film slowly, keeping the removing direction approximate 30-degree
not vertical from panel surface, if possible, under ESD control device like ion blower, and the
humidity of working room should be kept over 50%RH to reduce the risk of static charge.
 Avoid the use work clothing made of synthetic fibers. We recommend cotton clothing or
other conductivity-treated fibers.
 In handling the LCM, wear non-charged material gloves. And the conducting wrist to the
earth and the conducting shoes to the earth are necessary.

10.4 Caution For Operation

 It is indispensable to drive the LCM within the specified voltage limit since the higher voltage
than the limit causes LCM's life shorter. An electro-chemical reaction due to DC causes
undesirable deterioration of the LCM so that the use of DC drive should avoid.
 Do not connect or disconnect the LCM to or from the system when power is on.
 Never use the LCM under abnormal conditions of high temperature and high humidity.
 When expose to drastic fluctuation of temperature(hot to cold or cold to hot), the LCM may be
affected; specifically, drastic temperature fluctuation from cold to hot, produces dew on the
LCM's surface which may affect the operation of the polarizer on the LCM.
 Response time will be extremely delay at lower temperature than the operating temperature
range and on the other hand LCM may turn black at temperature above its operational range.
However those phenomenon do not mean malfunction or out of order with the LCM. The LCM
will revert to normal operation once the temperature returns to the recommended temperature
range for normal operation.
 Do not display the fixed pattern for a long time because it may develop image sticking due to
the LCM structure. If the screen is displayed with fixed pattern, use a screen saver.
 Do not disassemble and/or re-assemble LCM module

10.5 Packaging
 Modules use LCM element, and must be treated as such.
-Avoid intense shock and falls from a height.
-To prevent modules from degradation, do not operate or store them exposed directly to
sunshine or high temperature/humidity for long periods.

 BOECD Optoelectronics Technology CO., LTD CS3-PI-S861
B A 121S01-100 Module Product Specification Pre.2 2014.07.10

10.6 Storage
 A slight dew depositing on terminals is a cause for electro-chemical reaction resulting in
terminal open circuit. Relative humidity of the environment should therefore be kept below
60%RH.
 Original protective film should be used on LCM’s surface (polarizer). Adhesive type protective
film should be avoided, because it may change color and/or properties of the polarizer.
 Do not store the LCM near organic solvents or corrosive gasses.
 Keep the LCM safe from vibration, shock and pressure.
 Black or white air-bubbles may be produced if the LCM is stored for long time in the lower
temperature or mechanical shocks are applied onto the LCM.
 In the case of storing for a long period of time for the purpose or replacement use, the
following ways are recommended.
-Store in a polyethylene bag with sealed so as not to enter fresh air outside in it.
-Store in a dark place where neither exposure to direct sunlight nor light is.
-Keep temperature in the specified storage temperature range.
-Store with no touch on polarizer surface by the anything else. If possible, store the LCM in the
packaging situation when it was delivered.

10.7 Safety
 For the crash damaged or unnecessary LCM, it is recommended to wash off liquid crystal by
either of solvents such as acetone and ethanol an should be burned up later.
 In the case of LCM is broken, watch out whether liquid crystal leaks out or not. If your hands
touch the liquid crystal, wash your hands cleanly with water and soap as soon as possible.
 If you should swallow the liquid crystal, first, wash your mouth thoroughly with water, then
drink a lot of water and induce vomiting, and then, consult a physician.
 If the liquid crystal get in your eyes, flush your eyes with running water for at least fifteen
minutes.
 If the liquid crystal touches your skin or clothes, remove it and wash the affected part of
your skin or clothes with soap and running water.

11.0 Applicable Scope
