1. 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 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 Module.
11)After installation of the TFT Module into an enclosure (Notebook PC Bezel, for
example), do not twist nor bend the TFT Module even momentary. At designing
the enclosure, it should be taken into consideration that no bending/twisting
forces are applied to the TFT Module from outside. Otherwise the TFT Module
may be damaged.
12) Small amount of materials having no flammability grade is used in the LCD module.
The LCD module should be supplied by power complied with requirements of Limited
Power Source (IEC60950 or UL1950), or be applied exemption.
13) Disconnecting power supply before handling LCD modules, it can prevent electric
shock, DO NOT TOUCH the electrode parts, cables, connectors and LED circuit part of
TFT module that a LED light bar build in as a light source of back light unit. It can
prevent electros tic breakdown.
2. General Description
B156HW01 V4 is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display composed of a TFT LCD
panel, a driver circuit, and LED backlight system. The screen format is intended to support
the 16:9 FHD (1920(H) x 1080(V)) screen and 262k colors (RGB 6-bits data driver) with LED
backlight driving circuit. All input signals are LVDS interface compatible.
B156HW01 V4 is designed for a display unit of notebook style personal computer and
industrial machine.
