RESEARCH AWARDS FOR PRODUCTS
Polytronix manufactures a broad line of TN (twisted nematic), FMTN (first minima twisted nematic), PDLC
(polymer dispersed liquid crystal) and Dichroic LCD's.These are ideal for use in a wide variety of industrial,
consumer, airframe and automotive applications, and are sold throughout the world through a network of
exclusive Ploytronix Sales Representatives.
In an effort to extend its ability to serve its customer base, Polytronix works with a number of different
off-shore manufacturers, located primarily in China and Taiwan (some are ISO-9000 and ISO-14000 certi-
fied) to offer to our North America based customers a broad line of TN, STN (super twisted nematic) and
DSTN (double super twisted nematic) LCD panels and modules. In this case we act as an exclusive master
distributor. Because we are working with several manufacturers, Polytronix is able to offer an extremely
broad range of standard or custom designed LCD glass or complete, fully functional modules, providing dot
matrix A/N characters or full graphics capability. A line of full color, active matrix (AM-LCD) modules is also
available.
All products imported are carefully monitored as to quality and reliability. Every product offered must meet
both the customers and Polytronix' quality standards. Strict standards for test and inspection make it possi-
ble for Polytronix to stand behind every product sold.
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO LCDs
Polytronix has been a leader in developing LCD technology for commercial, industrial and telecommunica-
tions applications since 1980.We offer TN, STN and FSTN LCDs in character and graphics modules or glass
only. They can be combined with EL (electroluminescence) or LED (light emitting diode) backlighting for
use in many limited light applications.
LCD TECHNOLOGY
Basic Technology:
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are a passive display technology.This
Liquid Crystal
means they do not emit light; instead, they use the ambient light in Molecules
the environment. By manipulating this light, they display images using
very little power.This has made LCDs the preferred technology
whenever low power consumption and compact size are critical.
FIGURE 1: Structure of nematic liquid crystals.
Liquid crystal (LC) is an organic substance that has both a liquid form and a crystal molecular structure.
The rod-shaped molecules are normally in a parallel array, and an electric field can be used to control the
molecules. Most LCDs today use a type of liquid crystal called nematic (see Fig. 1).
LCDs consist of two pieces of glass with electrodes printed on the inside. An alignment layer on each glass
surface is used to twist the liquid crystal material in a helical or "twisted" pattern. Polarizers are used on
the outside front and rear surfaces (see Figs. 2 & 3).
When the LCD is "off," no voltage is applied to the electrodes, and light passes through the LCD.When it
is "on," voltage is applied and the LC molecules align themselves in the direction of the electric field.This
causes the light to be out of phase with the polarizers and to be blocked, creating a dark area on the LCD.
By selectively applying voltage to the electrodes, a variety of patterns can be achieved.

the background color to yellow-green and the

changed to a gray by using a special filter. Back Glass
Backlighting
An LCD is basically a reflective part. It needs ambient light to reflect back to the eye. In applications where
ambient light is low or non-existent, a light source must be placed behind the LCD.This is known as back-
lighting (see Fig.4).There are several technologies used:
• Electroluminescent (EL): El backlights are very thin, light weight and provide a very uniform light.
They are available in a variety of colors, with white being the most popular for use with LCDs.While their
power consumption is fairly low, they require voltages of 80 to 100 VAC.This is supplied by an inverter that
converts a 5 VDC input to the AC output. ELs have a limited life of 2,000 to 3,000 hours to half brightness.
• Light Emitting Diode (LED): LED backlights offer longer operating life—50,000 hours minimum—
and are brighter than ELs.They do consume more power than ELs. Being a solid state device, they operate
directly off +5 VDC, so they do not require an inverter. However, a current limiting resistor is recommended
for protection of the LEDs. LEDs are mounted in an array directly behind the display, which increases the
thickness by as much as 5mm. LEDs come in a variety of colors, with yellow-green being the most common.

Viewing Modes Frame
LCDs are offered in three basic light transmission LCD
modes: reflective, transmissive and transreflective
(see Fig. 5).
EL or LED
In the reflective mode, available light is used to PCB
illuminate the display.This is achieved by combining FIGURE 4: EL and LED Backlight

LCD Modules
Early LCDs were composed of only the LCD glass
panel.This left the drive circuitry to the customer.
More recent developments have combined the
LCD panel with a PCB (printed circuit board) Positive Type Negative Type Negative Type
(inverse image)
containing the drive LSI.This is known as an LCD (where data is inverted)
module, which offers a more complete solution.
FIGURE 6

There are two types of LCD modules: character and graphic.The character module is composed of 1 to 4
lines of 10 to 40 character blocks having 5x8 dots. Each character block is addressed separately and can
form alphanumeric characters and a limited number of symbols.
Graphic modules provide users with a greater degree of flexibility.They are composed of pixels (dots)
arranged in rows and columns. Each pixel can be addressed individually for text, graphics or any combina-
tion of the two. An LCD controller IC (integrated circuit) is required to operate the graphic LCD. Some
models feature the controller chip built into the module. See the Graphic Module Section for details.
Character Modules
Dot matrix character LCD modules are offered in a variety of sizes and configurations. Character modules
are organized in blocks of 5x8 dots. (5x7 dots for characters, and 5x8 dots for characters) This permits
them to display alphanumeric characters to 4 lines of 40 characters. Each model is offered with either
Twisted Nematic (TN) or Super Twisted Nematic (STN) fluid for enhanced viewing characteristics. EL or
LED backlighting is an option for most models.
Character modules contain a built-in controller chip (HD44780 or equivalent) that allows the LCD module
to receive data directly from a 4-bit or 8-bit microprocessor or microcontroller.The controller has at least
160 character patterns in the character generator (CG) ROM. Also available is user-definable CG RAM,
which allows the user to program up to 8 characters.
INTRODUCTION
Features
• Interfaces with 4-bit or 8-bit microprocessor or microcontroller
• Built-in controller provides internal CG ROM: at least 160 characters in 5x7 dot matrix
• CG RAM allows for 8 user-programmable characters
• Display data RAM offers 80 bytes (80 characters)
• Numerous functions: display on/off, display clear, character blink or shift, cursor blink, shift or home
Data Interface
To display data on the module, data is sent through the data bus from the microprocessor to the LCD con-
troller (see Fig. 7).The controller contains two 8-bit registers, one for instructions and one for data.They
are selected by the register select (RS) signal. First, positioning data is sent to the LCD and written into the
instruction register.This is followed by a character code that is written into the data register.The LCD
module will then display the specified character in the correct position.
The controller allows incremental or decremental positioning of successive characters, so that only charac-
ter codes need to be sent for a continuous character string. Use of the display/cursor shift instruction
allows the entry of characters in either right-to-left or left-to-right direction. Another feature is the use of
the CG RAM and display data RAM as general data storage by the microprocessor.

Graphic modules offer the greatest flexibility in formatting data on the display.They allow for text, graphics
or any combination of the two. Since character size is defined by software, they allow any language or
character font to be shown.The only limit is the resolution of the display.
Controller Chips
Several of Polytronix’ standard graphics modules include built-in controller chips. For those models which
do not include controllers, Polytronix will provide a list of recommended controller chips upon request.

The HD44780 can be connected to a 4-bit MPU through the 4-bit MPU I/O port. If the I/O port has enough bits, data can be
transferred in 8-bit lengths, but if the bits are insufficient, the transfer is made in two operations of 4 bits each (with designa-
tion of interface data length for 4 bits). In the latter case, the timing sequence becomes somewhat complex.

SAFETY
The liquid in the LCD should not be swallowed or touched. If it accidentally gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with
water.
Handling Instructions
The LCD panel is a glass product developed through precision processing and special orientation treatment. If pressure is
applied to the panel, orientation may be disturbed, making it difficult to return to original condition. It is apt to crack or be
broken easily if it is dropped or hit by a hard object, particularly around the edges. Attention must be paid to avoid external
shock.
Mounting Instructions
• When connecting an LCD to a circuit board, it is recommended to use a rubber or flexible connector. Direct soldering or
mechanical connection is not possible. Then pin connected type LCD permits soldering of pins.
• When mounting an LCD panel on a cabinet, care must be taken not to apply excessive force on the display surface of the
panel with a fingertip, etc. Otherwise, it may cause an operating failure or will shorten the lifetime of the panel.
• DC voltage or driving voltage higher than specified will reduce the lifetime of the liquid crystal display unit.
• Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the polarizer. If contamination persists, wipe it off with a small amount of petroleum benzene.
Avoid using an organic solvent as much as possible.
• When attaching with the heat seal or anisotropically conductive film, wipe off with alcohol before use.
Storing Instructions
• Avoid storage in high temperature and high humidity. When long-term storage is required, keep the panels in low
temperature (5°C ~ 25°C) and low humidity.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight or fluorescent light for a long period of time.
• Note that the presence of water drops or dew in the LCD panel may deteriote the polarizer or corrode the electrode.
Standard Specifications For Reliability
• Life Time
Functions, performance, appearance, etc. shall be free from remarkable deterioration within 50,000 hours under ordinary
operating and storage conditions (in areas not exposed to direct sunlight).
• Vibration Resistance
The sample shall be free from defects after following the vibration has been given to it in three directions: X, Y and Z.
Frequency: 10-55 Hz, Total amplitude: 2.0mm, Time: 1 hour in each direction.
