LM194-200WX02 - 20"

Sunlight Readable LCD Module

Introduction
LM194-200WX02 is a 20" wide format, 16:9 sunlight readable LCD module. The module consists of an AUO
T200WX02 TFT color LCD panel and a Landmark VHB (very high brightness) backlight. The module has 1,366 x
768 native resolution.

At the maximum backlight power of 42 Watts, the LM194-200WX02 module delivers 1,400 Cd/m2 (nits) of LCD
screen luminance. At this brightness level, the display is highly readable under bright ambient lighting including
direct outdoor sunlight. The Landmark BI320A inverter can be used to operate the backlight in this LCD module.
With this inverter, the LCD screen luminance can be adjusted down to less than 10 Cd/m2 for night viewing.

LCD Module Optical Performances

Luminance & Contrast Ratio
The typical LM194-200WX02 LCD module screen luminance and contrast ratio are shown in the figures below.
Since this module is a normally “white” display, the screen luminance is measured with the LCD in the “off” state
(i.e. the pixels are not energized). This is the “white” state with the maximum possible luminance. The “white” color
displayed on the screen when the video signal is applied may have a slightly lower luminance. The difference can
be caused by the graphics card and/or the LCD controller with its OSD settings. When the LCD is properly driven,
the measured luminance of the brightest “white” should be within 10% from the specified value.
At the optimal viewing directions, the
LM194-200WX02 LCD Screen Luminance LM194-200WX02 LCD module has a very high
Angular Distribution
1600
Luminance of "White" (Cd/m²) contrast ratio (CR), about 750:1. This is the inherent
CR, which is the luminance ratio between the
1400
3:00 to 9:00 Direction “White” and the “Black” states measured in a dark
1200 room. Under ambient lighting, particularly in bright
1000 outdoor environments, the CR value of the display
drops significantly due to the reflection and glare

caused by the strong ambient illumination.

Backlight Lamp Driving Specifications

with 12 cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs). The listed below:
lamps are electrically connected into two groups
through two 15-pin Molex connectors. The figure below Lamp Voltage 730 Vrms
shows the connector pin out assignments. Lamp Current 5 mArms

It is recommended that an inverter with a minimum of At this driving condition, the backlight delivers 1,400
1700 Vrms starting voltage be used to run the VHB Cd/m2 of LCD screen luminance with a power
backlight on the LM194-200WX02 module. The lamp consumption of about 43 Watts.

 Landmark Technology LM194-200WX02 P.4
Since most inverters have an efficiency level between 75 - 80%, the DC power input to the inverter is about 54 to
57 Watts. When the LCD luminance is adjusted down, the power consumption decreases.

The BI320A inverter is designed to drive the 12-CCFL backlight in the LM194-200WX02 module. The inverter has
a PWM (pulse width modulation) circuit that provides a 200:1 screen luminance adjustment (i.e. from 1,400 to 7
Cd/m2). For detailed information, please refer to the BI320A data sheet on Landmark website.

Backlight Life
When the lamps in the LM194-200WX02 backlight are operating at the recommended current for full LCD screen
luminance, they are rated at 50,000 hours of half brightness life. The half brightness life is the number of operating
hours before the CCFL surface luminance drops down to 50% of its initial value.

In general, the luminance of a backlight decays slightly faster than that of a CCFL. This is due to the aging of
other materials in the backlight. However, in actual applications, the luminance of a VHB display will likely be
adjusted down in dimly lit environments. Since the half brightness life increases rapidly when lamps are operated
at reduced current levels for lower LCD screen luminance, the actual operating lifetime of the backlight in this
LCD module can be expected to reach beyond 50,000 hours. For detailed discriptions on backlight life issues and
actual test data on Landmark Technology backlights, please refer to Technical Note TK801.

Thermal Management
The backlight power consumption of the LM194-200WX02 LCD module is about 43 Watts at full brightness. As a
result, the LCD screen temperauturature will be higher than normal. It is necessary to dissipate the backlight heat
such that the LCD temperature stays within the temperature specifications of the AUO T200WX02 LCD.

The exact increase in screen temperature depends on the installation of the LCD module in the equipment. For
example, with the LM194-200WX02 operating at full brightness in open air with no air flow (still air), the average
temperature of the LCD front surface is about 15 to 20 oC above the ambient air temperature. The highest temperature
rise usually occurs if the LCD is placed horizontally. If the LCD is placed vertically, a portion of the heat may rise
and dissipate into the air without heating up the LCD. When the LCD is mounted on a heat conducting bezel or a
cooling fan is used, the screen temperature rise can be significantly reduced.

It is recommended that the LCD screen temperature be measured at full brightness in the equipment under actual
operating environments. The cooling measure should then be designed accordingly. Please make sure that the
specified maximum LCD temperature is not exceeded.
