2. Overview
This module is a color active matrix LCD module incorporating amorphous silicon TFT (Thin Film Transistor). It is
composed of a color TFT-LCD panel, driver ICs, control circuit, power supply circuit, inverter circuit and back light
system etc. Graphics and texts can be displayed on a 1366×RGB×768 dots panel with 16,777,216 colors by using
LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) to interface, +12V of DC supply voltages.
This module also includes the DC/AC inverter to drive the CCFT. (+24V of DC supply voltage)
And in order to improve the response time of LCD, this module applies the Over Shoot driving (O/S driving)
technology for the control circuit .In the O/S driving technology, signals are being applied to the Liquid Crystal
according to a pre-fixed process as an image signal of the present frame when a difference is found between image
signal of the previous frame and that of the current frame after comparing them.
By using the captioned process, the image signals of this LCD module are being set so that image response can be
completed within one frame, as a result, image blur can be improved and clear image performance can be realized.

sequence.
When back light is switched on before panel operation or after a panel operation stop, it may not display
normally. But this phenomenon is not based on change of an incoming signal, and does not give damage to a
liquid crystal display.

[Note 3] The inverter unit is driving at the following drive frequency.

Lamp driving frequency : 41kHz
Burst dimmer frequency : 165Hz
There is possibility that the display problem of the backlights such as flicker, blinking, etc by the
interference of the above inverter driving frequency and the LCD driving frequency will occur.
In setting of a LCD driving frequency, we recommend to set for the no interference with the above
frequency to occur.

[Note 2] Definition of contrast ratio :
The contrast ratio is defined as the following.
Luminance (brightness) with all pixels white
Contrast Ratio＝
Luminance (brightness) with all pixels black

[Note 3] Definition of response time

The response time (τDRV) is defined as the following figure and shall be measured by switching the input
signal for “any level of gray (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%)” and “any level of gray (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and
100%)”.

10. Handling Precautions of the module

a) Be sure to turn off the power supply when inserting or disconnecting the cable.
b) This product is using the parts (inverter, CCFT etc), which generate the high voltage.
Therefore, during operating, please don't touch these parts.
c) Brightness control voltage is switched for “ON” and “OFF”, as shown in Fig.4. Voltage difference generated
by this switching, ΔVINV, may affect a sound output, etc. when the power supply is shared between the
inverter and its surrounding circuit. So, separate the power supply of the inverter circuit with the one of its
surrounding circuit.

d) Be sure to design the cabinet so that the module can be installed without any extra stress such as warp or
twist.
e) Since the front polarizer is easily damaged, pay attention not to scratch it.
f) Since long contact with water may cause discoloration or spots, wipe off water drop immediately.
g) When the panel surface is soiled, wipe it with absorbent cotton or other soft cloth.
h) Since the panel is made of glass, it may break or crack if dropped or bumped on hard surface. Handle with
care.
i) Since CMOS LSI is used in this module, take care of static electricity and take the human earth into
consideration when handling.
j) Please consider to minimize the influence of EMI and the exogenous noise before designing the grounding of
LCD module.
k) The module has some printed circuit boards (PCBs) on the back side, take care to keep them form any stress
or pressure when handling or installing the module; otherwise some of electronic parts on the PCBs may be
damaged.
l) Observe all other precautionary requirements in handling components.
m) When some pressure is added onto the module from rear side constantly, it causes display non-uniformity
issue, functional defect, etc.. So, please avoid such design.
n) When handling LCD modules and assembling them into cabinets, please be noted that long-term storage in
the environment of oxidization or deoxidization gas and the use of such materials as reagent, solvent,
adhesive, resin, etc. which generate these gasses, may cause corrosion and discoloration of the LCD
modules.
o) Connect a module frame to GND.
