14. OLED Module Precautions

The precautions below should be followed when using OLED modules to help ensure personal safety,
module performance, and compliance of environmental regulations.
14.1. Modules
• Avoid applying excessive shocks to module or making any alterations or modifications to it.
• Do not make extra holes on the printed circuit board, modify its shape or change the
components of OLED display module.
• Do not disassemble the OLED display module.
• Do not operate the OLED display module above the absolute maximum rating.
• Do not drop, bend or twist the OLED display module.
• Soldering: only to the I/O terminals.
• Store in an anti-static electricity container and clean environment.
• It is common to use the "screen saver" to extend the lifetime of the OLED display module.
o Do not use the fixed information for long periods of time in real application.
o Do not use fixed information in OLED panel for long periods of time to extend "screen
burn" effect time.
• Crystalfontz has the right to change the passive components, including R2 and R3 adjust
resistors. (Resistors, capacitors and other passive components will have different appearance
and color caused by the different supplier.)
• Crystalfontz have the right to change the PCB Rev. (In order to satisfy the supplying stability,
management optimization and the best product performance, etc., under the premise of not
affecting the electrical characteristics and external dimensions, Crystalfontz has the right to
modify the version.).
14.2. Handling Precautions
• Since the display panel is made of glass, do not apply mechanical impacts such as dropping
from a high position.
• If the display panel is accidently broken, and the internal organic substance leaks out, be
careful not to inhale or touch the organic substance.
• If pressure is applied to the display surface or its neighborhood of the OLED display module,
the cell structure may be damaged, so be careful not to apply pressure to these sections.
• The polarizer covering the surface of the OLED display module is soft and can be easily
scratched. Please be careful when handling the OLED display module.
• Clean the surface of the polarizer covering the OLED display module if it becomes soiled using
following adhesion tape.
o Scotch Mending Tape No. 810 or an equivalent
o Never breathe the soiled surface or wipe the surface using a cloth containing solvent
such as ethyl alcohol, since the surface of the polarizer will become cloudy.
o The following liquids/solvents may spoil the polarizer:
- Water
- Ketone
- Aromatic Solvents
• Hold the OLED display module very carefully when placing the OLED display module into the
system housing.
• Do not apply excessive stress or pressure to the OLED display module. And, do not over bend
the film with electrode pattern layouts. These stresses will influence the display performance.
Also, be sure to secure the sufficient rigidity for the outer cases.
Page | 16
• Do not apply stress to the LSI chips and the surrounding molded sections.
• Do not disassemble or modify the OLED display module.
• Do not apply input signals while the logic power is off.
• Pay sufficient attention to the working environments when handing the OLED display module
to prevent occurrence of element breakage accidents by static electricity.
o Be sure to make human body grounding when handling OLED display modules.
o Be sure to ground tools to use for assembly such as soldering irons.
o To suppress generation of static electricity, avoid carrying out assembly work under dry
environments.
o Protective film is being applied to the surface of the display panel of the OLED display
module. Be careful since static electricity may be generated when exfoliating the
protective film.
• Protection film is being applied to the surface of the display panel and removes the protection
film before assembling it. At this time, if the OLED display module has been stored for a long
period of time, residue adhesive material of the protection film may remain on the surface of
the display panel after the film has been removed. In such a case, remove the residue material
by the method discussed above.
• If electric current is applied when the OLED display module is being dewed or when it is placed
under high humidity environments, the electrodes may become corroded. If this happens
proceed with caution when handling the OLED display module.
14.3. Storage Precautions
• When storing the OLED display modules put them in static electricity preventive bags to avoid
exposure to direct sunlight and fluorescent lamps. Also avoid high temperature and high
humidity environments and low temperatures (less than 0°C) environments. (We recommend
you store these modules in the packaged state when they were shipped from Crystalfontz). Be
careful not to let water drops adhere to the packages or bags, and do not let dew gather on
them.
• If electric current is applied when water drops are adhering to the surface of the OLED display
module the OLED display module may have become dewed. If a dewed OLED display module
is placed under high humidity environments it may cause the electrodes to become corroded.
If this happens proceed with caution when handling the OLED display module.
14.4. Designing Precautions
• The absolute maximum ratings are the ratings that cannot be exceeded for OLED display
module. If these values are exceeded, panel damage may happen.
• To prevent occurrence of malfunctioning by noise pay attention to satisfy the VIL and VIH
specifications and, at the same time, to make the signal line cable as short as possible.
• We recommend that you install excess current preventive unit (fuses, etc.) to the power circuit
(VDD). (Recommend value: 0.5A)
• Pay sufficient attention to avoid occurrence of mutual noise interference with the neighboring
devices.
• As for EMI, take necessary measures on the equipment side.
• When fastening the OLED display module, fasten the external plastic housing section.
• If the power supply to the OLED display module is forcibly shut down, by such errors as taking
out the main battery while the OLED display panel is in operation, we cannot guarantee the
quality of this OLED display module.
o Connection (contact) to any other potential than the above may lead to rupture of the IC.
14.5. Disposing Precautions
• Request the qualified companies to handle the industrial wastes when disposing of the OLED
display modules. Or, when burning them, be sure to observe the environmental and hygienic
laws and regulations.
14.6. Other Precautions
• When an OLED display module is operated for a long period of time with a fixed pattern, the
fixed pattern may remain as an after image or a slight contrast deviation may occur.
o If the operation is interrupted and left unused for a while, normal state can be restored.
o This will not cause a problem in the reliability of the module.
Page | 17
• To protect the OLED display module from performance drops by static electricity rapture, etc.,
do not touch the following sections whenever possible while handling the OLED display
modules.
o Pins and electrodes
o Pattern layouts such as the TCP & FPC
• With this OLED display module, the OLED driver is being exposed. Generally speaking,
semiconductor elements change their characteristics when light is radiated according to the
principle of the solar battery. Consequently, if this OLED driver is exposed to light,
malfunctioning may occur.
o Design the product and installation method so that the OLED driver may be shielded
from light in actual usage.
o Design the product and installation method so that the OLED driver may be shielded
from light during the inspection processes.
• Although this OLED display module stores the operation state data by the commands and the
indication data, when excessive external noise, etc. enters into the module, the internal status
may be changed. Therefore, it is necessary to take appropriate measures to suppress noise
generation or to protect from influences of noise on the system design.
• We recommend that you construct its software to make periodical refreshment of the operation
statuses (re-setting of the commands and re-transference of the display data), to cope with
catastrophic noise.
• Resistors, capacitors, and other passive components will have different appearance and color
caused by the different supplier.
• Crystalfontz has the right to upgrade and modify the product function.
• The limitation of FPC bending:
