Note: The LED life time is defined as the module brightness decrease to 50% original brightness at Ta=25°C.
4DLCD-35480320-[RTP/CTP]-[CLB]

Note 1: Contrast Ratio(CR) is defined mathematically as below, for more information see Figure 1.

Average Surface Luminance with all white pixels (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5)
Contrast Ratio =
Average Surface Luminance with all black pixels (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5)

Note 2: Surface luminance is the LCD surface from the surface with all pixels displaying white.
For more information, see Figure 2.

Lv = Average Surface Luminance with all white pixels (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5)

Note 3: The uniformity in surface luminance δ WHITE is determined by measuring luminance at each test position 1
through 5, and then dividing the maximum luminance of 5 points luminance by minimum luminance of 5 points
luminance. For more information, see Figure 2.

Minimum Surface Luminance with all white pixels (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5)
δ WHITE =
Maximum Surface Luminance with all white pixels (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5)

Note 4: Response time is the time required for the display to transition from white to black (Rise Time, Tr) and from
black to white (Decay Time, Tf). For additional information see FIG 1. The test equipment is Autronic-Melchers
ConoScope series.

Note 5: CIE (x, y) chromaticity, the x, y value is determined by measuring luminance at each test position 1 through 5,
and then make average value.

Note 6: Viewing angle is the angle at which the contrast ratio is greater than 2. For TFT module the contrast ratio is
greater than 10. The angles are determined for the horizontal or x axis and the vertical or y axis with respect to the z axis
which is normal to the LCD surface. For more information, see Figure3.

Note 7: For viewing angle and response time testing, the testing data is based on Autronic-Melchers ConoScope series.
Instruments for Contrast Ratio, Surface Luminance, Luminance Uniformity, CIE the test data is based on TOPCONs BM-5
TFT LCD

photo detector.

12.4 Power-off Sequence - Uncontrolled Power Off


Uncontrolled power off is a situation where power is removed unexpectedly, e.g. a battery powering a device
is disconnected without using the controlled power off sequence. There will not be any damage to the
display module, nor will the display module cause any damage to the host. During an uncontrolled power off
event, ILI9341V will force the display to blank its content and there will not be any further abnormal visible
effects on the display after 1 second of the power being removed. The display will remain blank until the
Power On Sequence occurs.

14. Precautions for Using LCD Modules


14.1 Handing Precautions
 The display panel is made of glass and polarizer. The glass is fragile. It tends to be chipped during handling
especially on the edges. Please avoid dropping or jarring. Please be careful not subject it to a mechanical shock
by dropping it on impact.
 If the display panel is damaged and the liquid crystal substance leaks out, be sure not to get any of it in your
mouth. If the substance contacts your skin or clothes, wash it off using soap and water.
4DLCD-35480320-[RTP/CTP]-[CLB]

 Do not apply excessive force to the display surface or to the adjoining areas since this may cause the color tone
to vary. Do not touch the display with bare hands. This will stain the display area and degraded insulation
between terminals (some cosmetics are determined by the polarizer).
 The polarizer covering the display surface of the LCD module is soft and easily scratched. Handle this polarizer
carefully. Do not touch, push or rub the exposed polarizer with anything harder than an HB pencil lead
(e.g., glass, tweezers, etc.). Do not put or attach anything on the display area to avoid leaving marks on it.
Condensation on the surface and contact with terminals due to cold temperature will damage, stain or
contaminate the polarizer. After products are tested at low temperature they must be warmed up in a container
before coming into contact with room temperature air.
 If the display surface becomes contaminated, breathe on the surface and gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth. If
it is heavily contaminated, moisten the cloth with one of the following solvents
o Isopropyl alcohol
o Ethyl alcohol

Do not scrub hard as it might damage the display surface.

 Solvents other than those mentioned above may damage the polarizer. Especially the following.
o Water
o Ketone
o Aromatic solvents
Wipe off saliva or water drops immediately, contact with water over a long period of time may cause
TFT LCD

deformation or color fading. Avoid contact with oil and fat.


 Take necessary precautions to minimize corrosion of the electrode. Corrosion of the electrodes is accelerated
by water droplets, moisture condensation or current flow in a high-humidity environment.
 Install the 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 I/O cable or the backlight cable.
 Do not attempt to disassemble or process the LCD module.
 NC terminal should be open. Do not connect anything on it.
 If the logic circuit power is off, do not apply input signals.
 Control Electro-Static Discharge. Since this module uses a CMOS LSI, the same careful attention should be paid
to electrostatic discharge as for an ordinary CMOS IC. To prevent destruction of the elements by static electricity,
ensure that an optimum work environment is maintained.

o Before removing the LCM from its packing case or incorporating it into a set, be sure that the module
and your body has the same electric potential. Be sure to ground your body when handling the LCD
modules.
o To reduce the amount of static electricity generated, do not conduct assembly and other work under
dry conditions. To reduce the generation of static electricity, please ensure that the air in the work
environment is not too dry. A relative humidity of 50%-60% is recommended. As much as possible,
make the electric potential of your work clothes and that of the work bench the ground potential.
o The LCD module is coated with a film to protect the display surface. Be careful when peeling off this
4DLCD-35480320-[RTP/CTP]-[CLB]

protective film since static electricity may be generated.


 Since the LCM has been assembled and adjusted with a high degree of precision, avoid applying excessive shocks
to the module or making any alterations or modifications to it.
o Do not alter, modify or change the shape of the tab on the metal frame.
o Do not make extra holes on the printed circuit board, modify its shape or change the positions of
components to be attached.
o Do not damage or modify the pattern writing on the printed circuit board.
o Absolutely do not modify the zebra rubber strip (conductive rubber) or heat seal connector.
o Do not drop, bend or twist the LCM.

14.2 Storage Precautions


When storing the LCD modules, the following precautions are necessary.

 Store them in a sealed polyethylene bag. If properly sealed, there is no need for the desiccant.
 Store them in a dark place. Do not expose to sunlight or fluorescent light, keep the temperature between 0℃
and 35℃, and keep the relative humidity between 40%RH and 60%RH.
 The polarizer surface should not come in contact with any other objects. (We advise you to store them in an
anti-static electricity container in which they were shipped. Some Liquid crystals solidify under low temperature
(below the storage temperature range) leading to defective orientation or the generation of air bubbles (black
or white). Air bubbles may also be generated if the module is subjected to low temperature.

 If the LCD modules have been operating for a long time showing the same display patterns, the display patterns
may remain on the screen as ghost images and a slight contrast irregularity may also appear. A normal operating
status can be regained by suspending use for some time. It should be noted that this phenomenon does not
adversely affect performance reliability.
 To minimize the performance degradation of the LCD modules resulting from destruction caused by static
electricity etc., please avoid holding the following sections when handling the modules’
o Exposed area of the printed circuit board
o Terminal electrode sections
