 4. Pinout

The VO pin uses analog voltage to set up the screen contrast level. Hardware contrast ad-
justment can be done by using voltage divider or potentiometer.

The anode pin A and cathode pin K are positive and negative terminals that are used to con-
trol the backlight of the screen.

The RW pin, or Read/Write pin, is used to set the data direction, to read data from display-
driver chip or to write data into the screen driver chip.

The RS pin is Register Select pin which is used to shift between command
or data registers of the driver chip.

The E pin, or Enable pin, is used to enable/disable communication between the main micro-
controller and the driver chip of the screen.

 6. Precautions

• This device is susceptible to Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) damage. Observe Anti-Static

• Do not apply excessive force to display surface or the adjoining areas since this may cause
the color tone to vary.

• The polarizer covering display surface of the LCD module is soft and easily scratched. Handle
this polarizer carefully.

• If display surface becomes contaminated, breathe on the surface and gently wipe it with a
soft dry cloth. If it is heavily contaminated, moisten cloth with Isopropyl or alcohol.

• Solvents other than those above-mentioned may damage the polarizer. Especially, do not
use the Water.

• Exercise care to minimize corrosion of the electrode. Corrosion of the electrodes is accelerat-
ed by water droplets, moisture condensation or a current flow in a high-humidity environment.

• Install LCD Module by using the mounting holes. When mounting the LCD module make sure
it is free of twisting, warping and distortion. In particular, do not forcibly pull or bend the cable
or the backlight cable.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or process LCD module.

• NC terminal should be open. Do not connect anything.

• If the logic circuit power is off, do not apply the input signals.

• To prevent destruction of the elements by static electricity, be careful to maintain an opti-

- Be sure to ground the body when handling LCD modules.

- Tools required for assembling, such as soldering irons, must be properly grounded.

To reduce the amount of static electricity generated, do not conduct assembling and other
work under dry conditions.

- The LCD module is coated with a film to protect the display surface. Exercise care when peel-
ing off this protective film since static electricity may be generated.

• Identify and, at all times, observe absolute maximum ratings for both logic and LC drivers.

• Prevent the application of reverse polarity to VDD and VSS, however briefly.

• Use a clean power source free from transients. Power-up conditions are occasionally jolting
and may exceed the maximum ratings of these LCD modules.

• The VDD power of LCD module should also supply the power to all devices that may access
the display. Do not allow the data bus to be driven when the logic supply to the module is
turned off.

• Operate this LCD module within the limits of the modules temperature specifications.

• Surface of the LCD panel should not be touched or scratched. The display front surface is an
easily scratched, plastic polarizer.

• Always employ anti-static procedure while handling LCD module.

• Do not store in direct sunlight.

• If leakage of the liquid crystal material should occur, avoid contact with this material, par-
ticularly ingestion. If the body or clothing becomes contaminated by the liquid crystal material,
wash thoroughly with water and soap.

• When storing the LCD modules, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or to the light of fluores-
cent lamps.

• Keep LCD modules in bags (avoid high temperature / high humidity and low temperatures
below 0°C.

• Liquid crystals solidify under low temperature (below the storage temperature range) lead-
ing to defective orientation or the generation of air bubbles (black or white). Air bubbles may
also be generated if the module is subject to a low temperature.

• To minimize the performance degradation of the LCD modules resulting from destruction
caused by static electricity etc., exercise care to avoid holding the following sections when
handling the modules.
-Exposed area of the printed circuit board.
-Terminal electrode sections.

• Please keep the temperature within specified range for use and storage. Polarization deg-
radation, bubble generation or polarizer peel-off may occur with high temperature and high
humidity.

• Do not touch, push or rub the exposed polarizers with anything harder than an HB pencil
lead (glass, tweezers, etc.).
