10. PRECAUTIONS IN USING LCM


1. LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD)
LCD is made up of glass, organic sealant, organic fluid, and polymer based polarizers. The
following precautions should be taken when handing,
(1). Keep the temperature within range of use and storage. Excessive temperature and
humidity could cause polarization degredation, polarizer peel off or bubble.
(2). Do not contact the exposed polarizers with anything harder than an HB pencil lead. To
clean dust off the display surface. Wipe gently with cotton. Chamois or other soft material
soaked in petroleum benzin.

VER: A NT-C1641A 16C X 4L CHARACTER MODULE PAGE: 17 OF 19


NELY TECH CO.,LTD. WWW.NELYTECH.COM

(3). Wipe off saliva or water drops immediately. Contact with water over a long period of
time may cause polarizer deformation or color fading, while an active LCD with water
condensation on its surface will cause corrosion of ITO electrodes.
(4). Glass can be easily chipped or cracked from rough handing. especially at corners and
edges.
(5). Do not drive LCD with DC voltage.

2. Liquid Crystal Display Modules


2.1 Mechanical Considerations
LCM are assembled and adjusted with a high degree of precision. Avoid excessive shocks
and do not make any alterations or modifications. The following should be noted.
(1). Do not tamper in any way with the tabs on the tabs on the metal frame.
(2). Do not modify the PCB by drilling extra holes, changing its outline, moving its
components or modifying its pattem.
(3). Do not touch the elastomer connector, especially insert an backlight panel (for
example, EL).
(4). When mounting a LCM make sure that the PCB is not under any tress such as bending
or twisting. Elastomer contacts are very delicate and missing pixels could result from slight
dislocation of any of the elements.
(5). Avoid pressing on the metal bezel, otherwise the elastomer connector could be
deformed and lose contact, resulting in missing piels.
2.2. Static Electricity
LCM contains CMOS LSI’s and the same precaution for such devices should apply, namely
(1). The operator should be grounded whenever he/she comes into contact with the
module. Never touch any of the conductive parts such as the LSI pads, the copper leads on
the PCB and the interface terminals with any parts of the human body.
(2). The modules should be kept in antistatic bags or other containers resistant to static for
storage.
(3). Only properly grounded soldering irons should be used.
(4). If an electric screwdriver is used, it should be well grounded and shielded from
commutator sparks.
(5). The normal static prevention measures should be observed for work clothes and
working benches; for the latter conductive ( rubber) mat is recommended.
(6). Since dry air is inductive to statics, a relative humidity of 50-60% is recommended.
2.3. Soldering
(1). Solder only to the I/O terminals.
(2). Use only soldering irons with proper grounding and no leakage.
(3). Soldering temperature: 280 ℃±10℃
(4). Soldering time: 3 to 4 sec.
(5). Use eutectic solder with resin flux fill.
(6). If flux is used, the LCD surface should be covered to avoid flux spatters. Flux residue
should be removed after wards.
2.4. Operation
(1). The viewing angle can be adjusted by varying the LCD driving voltage V0.
(2). Driving voltage should be kept within specified range; excess voltage shortens display
life.
(3). Response time increases with decrease in temperature.
(4). Display may turn black or dark blue at temperatures above its operational range; this

VER: A NT-C1641A 16C X 4L CHARACTER MODULE PAGE: 18 OF 19


NELY TECH CO.,LTD. WWW.NELYTECH.COM

is (however not pressing on the viewing area) may cause the segments to appear
“fractured”.
(5). Mechanical disturbance during operation (such as pressing on the viewing area) nay
cause the segments to appear “fractured”.
2.5. Storage
If any fluid leaks out of a damaged glass cell, wash off any human part that comes into
