1. General Description
This specification applies to the 42.0 inch Color TFT-LCD Module T420HW09 V1. This LCD module has a TFT
active matrix type liquid crystal panel 1,920x1,080 pixels, and diagonal size of 42.0 inch. This module supports
1,920x1,080 mode. Each pixel is divided into Red, Green and Blue sub-pixels or dots which are arranged in vertical
stripes. Gray scale or the brightness of the sub-pixel color is determined with a 8-bit gray scale signal for each dot.
The T420HW09 V1 has been designed to apply the 8-bit 2 channel LVDS interface method. It is intended to
support displays where high brightness, wide viewing angle, high color saturation, and high color depth are very
important.

8. Do not attach a conducting tape to lamp connecting wire. If the lamp wire attach to conducting tape,
TFT-LCD Module have a low luminance and the inverter has abnormal action because leakage current
occurs between lamp wire and conducting tape.
9. The relative humidity must not exceed 80% non-condensing at temperatures of 40 or less. At
temperatures greater than 40 , the wet bulb temperature must not exceed 39 . When operate at low
temperatures, the brightness of CCFL will drop and the life time of CCFL will be reduced.
10. Specified values are for a single lamp only which is aligned horizontally. The lifetime is defined as the time
which luminance of the lamp is 50% compared to its original value.
[Operating condition: Continuous operating at Ta = 25±2 ]

This is the signal timing required at the input of the user connector. All of the interface signal timing should be
satisfied with the following specifications for its proper operation.

Notes:
(1) Display position is specific by the rise of DE signal only.
st st
Horizontal display position is specified by the rising edge of 1 DCLK after the rise of 1 DE, is displayed on the
left edge of the screen.
(2)Vertical display position is specified by the rise of DE after a “Low” level period equivalent to eight times of
st st
horizontal period. The 1 data corresponding to one horizontal line after the rise of 1 DE is displayed at the top
line of screen.
(3)If a period of DE “High” is less than 1920 DCLK or less than 1080 lines, the rest of the screen displays black.
(4)The display position does not fit to the screen if a period of DE “High” and the effective data period do not
synchronize with each other.

4. Optical Specification
Optical characteristics are determined after the unit has been ‘ON’ and stable for approximately 45 minutes in a
dark environment at 25°C. The values specified are at an approximate distance 50cm from the LCD surface at a
viewing angle of φ and θ equal to 0°.

Fig.1 presents additional information concerning the measurement equipment and method.

1. Contrast Ratio (CR) is defined mathematically as:
Surface Luminance of Lon5
Contrast Ratio=
Surface Luminance of Loff5

2. Surface luminance is luminance value at point 5 across the LCD surface 50cm from the surface with all pixels
displaying white. From more information see FIG 2. When lamp current IH = 11mA. LWH=Lon5 where Lon5 is
the luminance with all pixels displaying white at center 5 location.
3. The variation in surface luminance, δWHITE is defined (center of Screen) as:
δWHITE(9P)= Maximum(Lon1, Lon2,…,Lon9)/ Minimum(Lon1, Lon2,…Lon9)
4. Response time T is the average time required for display transition by switching the input signal for five
luminance ratio (0%,25%,50%,75%,100% brightness matrix) and is based on Fv=60Hz to optimize.

0% 0% to 25% 0% to 50% 0% to 75% 0% to 100%
25% 25% to 0% 25% to 50% 25% to 75% 25% to 100%
Start 50% 50% to 0% 50% to 25% 50% to 75% 50% to 100%

100% 100% to 0% 100% to 25% 100% to 50% 100% to 75%
T is determined by 10% to 90% brightness difference of rising or falling period. (As illustrated)
The response time is defined as the following figure and shall be measured by switching the input signal for
“any level of grey(bright) “ and “any level of gray(dark)”.

11. PRECAUTIONS
Please pay attention to the followings when you use this TFT LCD module.

9-1 MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS

(1) You must mount a module using holes arranged in four corners or four sides.

(2) You should consider the mounting structure so that uneven force (ex. twisted stress) is not applied
to module. And the case on which a module is mounted should have sufficient strength so that
external force is not transmitted directly to the module.

(3) Please attach the surface transparent protective plate to the surface in order to protect the polarizer.
Transparent protective plate should have sufficient strength in order to the resist external force.

(4) You should adopt radiation structure to satisfy the temperature specification.
(5) Acetic acid type and chlorine type materials for the cover case are not desirable because the former
generates corrosive gas of attacking the polarizer at high temperature and the latter cause circuit
broken by electro-chemical reaction.
(6) Do not touch, push or rub the exposed polarizer with glass, tweezers or anything harder than HB
pencil lead. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the
surface of polarizer for bare hand or greasy cloth. (Some cosmetics are detrimental to the polarizer.)
(7) When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials
like chamois soaks with petroleum benzene. Normal-hexane is recommended for cleaning the
adhesives used to attach front/ rear polarizer. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because
they cause chemical damage to the polarizer.
(8) Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with polarizer causes
deformations and color fading.
(9) Do not open the case because inside circuits do not have sufficient strength.

9-2 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

(1) The device listed in the product specification sheets was designed and manufactured for TV
application
(2) The spike noise causes the mis-operation of circuits. It should be lower than following voltage:
V=±200mV(Over and under shoot voltage)
(3) Response time depends on the temperature. (In lower temperature, it becomes longer..)
(4) Brightness of CCFL depends on the temperature. (In lower temperature, it becomes lower.) And in
lower temperature, response time (required time that brightness is stable after turned on) becomes
longer.
(5) Be careful for condensation at sudden temperature change. Condensation makes damage to
polarizer or electrical contacted parts. And after fading condensation, smear or spot will occur.
(6) When fixed patterns are displayed for a long time, remnant image is likely to occur.
(7) Module has high frequency circuits. Sufficient suppression to the electromagnetic interference shall

Rev.0 2
be done by system manufacturers. Grounding and shielding methods may be important to minimize
the interface.
9-3 ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE CONTROL
Since a module is composed of electronic circuits, it is not strong to electrostatic discharge. Make certain
that treatment persons are connected to ground through wristband etc. And don’t touch interface pin
directly.

9-4 PRECAUTIONS FOR STRONG LIGHT EXPOSURE

Strong light exposure causes degradation of polarizer and color filter.

9-5 STORAGE
When storing modules as spares for a long time, the following precautions are necessary.

(1) Store them in a dark place. Do not expose the module to sunlight or fluorescent light. Keep the
temperature between 5 and 35 at normal humidity.
(2) The polarizer surface should not come in contact with any other object. It is recommended that they
be stored in the container in which they were shipped.

9-6 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR PROTECTION FILM

(1) The protection film is attached to the bezel with a small masking tape. When the protection film is
peeled off, static electricity is generated between the film and polarizer. This should be peeled off
slowly and carefully by people who are electrically grounded and with well ion-blown equipment or
in such a condition, etc.
(2) When the module with protection film attached is stored for a long time, sometimes there remains a
very small amount of glue still on the bezel after the protection film is peeled off.
(3) You can remove the glue easily. When the glue remains on the bezel or its vestige is recognized,
please wipe them off with absorbent cotton waste or other soft material like chamois soaked with
normal-hexane.
