12. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR TFT-LCD MODULE
Please pay attention to the followings in handling TFT-LCD products;
(1) ASSEMBLY PRECAUTION
a. Please do not bend or wrench the LCD module in assembling. Please do not drop, bend or twist
the LCD module in handling.
b. Please design display housing in accordance with the following guide lines.
(a) Housing case must be designed carefully so as not to put stresses on LCD and not to wrench
module.
(b) Under high temperature environment, performance and life time of LED may heavily
shorten. When you design with our LCD product, please consider radiating heat and
ventilation for good heat management.
(c) Keep sufficient clearance between LCD module back surface and housing when the LCD
module is mounted. Approximately 1.0mm of the clearance in the design is recommended
taking into account the tolerance of LCD module thickness and mounting structure height on
the housing.
(d) When some parts, such as, FPC cable and ferrite plate, are installed underneath the LCD
module, still sufficient clearance is required, such as 0.5mm. This clearance is, especially, to
be reconsidered when the additional parts are implemented for EMI countermeasure.
(e) Design the LED driver location and connector position carefully so as not to give stress to
LED backlight cable and flexible tail.
(f) Keep sufficient clearance between LCD module and the others parts, such as inverter and
speaker so as not to interfere the LCD module. Approximately 1.0 mm of the clearance in the
design is recommended.
(g) To avoid local elevation/decrease of temperature, considering location of heating element,
heat release, thermal design should be done.
c. Please do not push or scratch touch panel surface with anything hard. And do not soil LCD panel
surface by touching with bare hands.
d. Please wipe off touch panel surface with absorbent cotton or soft cloth in case of it being soiled.
e. Touch panel glass edge is not rounded. Please take care in handling to avoid injury.
f. Please do not take a LCD module to pieces and reconstruct it. Resolving and reconstructing
modules may cause them not to work well.
g. Please do not touch metal frames with bare hands and soiled gloves. A color change of the metal
frames can happen during a long preservation of soiled LCD modules.
h. Please handle metal frame carefully because edge of metal frame is very sharp.
i. Please connect the metal frame of LCD module to GND in order to minimize the effect of external
noise and EMI.
j. Be sure to connect the cables and the connecters correctly.
(2) OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
a. Please be sure to turn off the power supply before connecting and disconnecting signal input
cable.
