Note (2) If the PWM control duty ratio is less than 10%, there is some possibility that acoustic noise or
backlight flash can be found. And it is also difficult to control the brightness linearity.
Note (3) If PWM control frequency is applied in the range less than 1KHz, the “waterfall” phenomenon on the
screen may be found. To avoid the issue, it’s a suggestion that PWM control frequency should follow
the criterion as below.
PWM control frequency fPWM should be in the range
( N + 0.33) ∗ f ≤ fPWM ≤ ( N + 0.66) ∗ f
N : Integer ( N ≥ 3)
f : Frame rate
Note (4) The specified LED power supply current is under the conditions at “LED_VCCS = Typ.”, Ta = 25
± 2 ºC, fPWM = 200 Hz, Duty=100%.

Note (1) LED current is measured by utilizing a high frequency current meter as shown below :

Channels
Note (2) For better LED light bar driving quality, it is recommended to utilize the adaptive boost converter with
current balancing function to drive LED light-bar.
Note (3) PL = IL ×VL (Without LED converter transfer efficiency)
Note (4) The lifetime of LED is defined as the time when it continues to operate under the conditions at Ta = 25
±2 oC and IL = 22.5 mA (Per EA) until the brightness becomes ≦ 50% of its original value.

8. PRECAUTIONS
8.1 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
(1) The module should be assembled into the system firmly by using every mounting hole. Be careful
not to twist or bend the module.
(2) While assembling or installing modules, it can only be in the clean area. The dust and oil may cause
electrical short or damage the polarizer.
(3) Use fingerstalls or soft gloves in order to keep display clean during the incoming inspection and
assembly process.
(4) Do not press or scratch the surface harder than a HB pencil lead on the panel because the polarizer
is very soft and easily scratched.
(5) If the surface of the polarizer is dirty, please clean it by some absorbent cotton or soft cloth. Do not
use Ketone type materials (ex. Acetone), Ethyl alcohol, Toluene, Ethyl acid or Methyl chloride. It
might permanently damage the polarizer due to chemical reaction.
(6) Wipe off water droplets or oil immediately. Staining and discoloration may occur if they left on panel
for a long time.
(7) If the liquid crystal material leaks from the panel, it should be kept away from the eyes or mouth. In
case of contacting with hands, legs or clothes, it must be washed away thoroughly with soap.
(8) Protect the module from static electricity, it may cause damage to the C-MOS Gate Array IC.
(9) Do not disassemble the module.
(10) Do not pull or fold the LED wire.
(11) Pins of I/F connector should not be touched directly with bare hands.
8.2 STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
(1) High temperature or humidity may reduce the performance of module. Please store LCD module
within the specified storage conditions.
(2) It is dangerous that moisture come into or contacted the LCD module, because the moisture may
damage LCD module when it is operating.
(3) It may reduce the display quality if the ambient temperature is lower than 10 ºC. For example, the
response time will become slowly, and the starting voltage of LED will be higher than the room
temperature.
8.3 OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
(1) Do not pull the I/F connector in or out while the module is operating.
(2) Always follow the correct power on/off sequence when LCD module is connecting and operating.
This can prevent the CMOS LSI chips from damage during latch-up.
(3) The startup voltage of Backlight is approximately 1000 Volts. It may cause electrical shock while
assembling with converter. Do not disassemble the module or insert anything into the Backlight unit.

Tape/sponge design on system inner surface
a) To prevent abnormal display & white spot after scuffing test, hinge test, pogo test,
backpack test, it is not recommended to add tape/sponge in separate location. Since each
tape/sponge may act as pressure concentration location.
b) We suggest to design a tape/sponge that well covered under panel rear cover.

Definition
Version 1.0
To prevent panel crack during system front bezel assembly process without hook design, it
is only allowed to give slight pressure with large contact area. This can help to distribute the
stress to prevent point concentration, also it is suggest to put the system on a flat surface
stage during the assembly.
Material used for system rear bezel
a) To prevent abnormal display & white spot after scuffing test, hinge test, pogo test,
backpack test, as the poor rigidity result from deformation of system rear cover during the
test.
b) We suggest to use aluminum-magnesium alloy as the rear frame material with thickness
min 1.5mm, instead of using PC/ABS.
System base unit design near keyboard and mouse pad
To prevent abnormal display & white spot after scuffing test, hinge test, pogo test, backpack
test, no sharp edge design is allowed in any area that may damage the panel during the
test. We suggest to remove all sharp edges, or to reduce the thickness difference of
keyboard/mouse pad from the nearby surface.
