1. OUTLINE
1.1 STRUCTURE AND PRINCIPLE
Color LCD module NL10276BC16-01 is composed of the amorphous silicon thin film transistor liquid
crystal display (a-Si TFT LCD) panel structure with driver LSIs for driving the TFT (Thin Film
Transistor) array and a backlight.
The a-Si TFT LCD panel structure is injected liquid crystal material into a narrow gap between the
TFT array glass substrate and a color-filter glass substrate.
Color (Red, Green, Blue) data signals from a host system (e.g. PC, signal generator, etc.) are
modulated into best form for active matrix system by a signal processing board, and sent to the driver
LSIs which drive the individual TFT arrays.
The TFT array as an electro-optical switch regulates the amount of transmitted light from the backlight
assembly, when it is controlled by data signals. Color images are created by regulating the amount of
transmitted light through the TFT array of red, green and blue dots.

Note1: This product consists of 4 backlight lamps, and these specifications are for each lamp.
Note2: The lamp voltage cycle between lamps should be kept on a same phase. "VS" and "VBLH"
are the voltage value between low voltage side (Cold) and high voltage side (Hot).
Note3: The asymmetric ratio of working waveform for lamps (Power supply voltage peak ratio,
power supply current peak ratio and waveform space ratio) should be less than 5 % (See the
following figure.). If the waveform is asymmetric, DC (Direct current) element apply into the
lamp. In this case, a lamp lifetime may be shortened, because a distribution of a lamp
enclosure substance inclines toward one side between low voltage terminal (Cold terminal)
and high voltage terminal (Hot terminal). When designing the inverter, evaluate asymmetric of
lamp working waveform sufficiently.
Pa: Supply voltage/current peak for positive, Pb: Supply voltage/current peak for negative
Sa: Waveform space for positive part, Sb: Waveform space for negative part.
Note4: This product's backlight consists of 2 lamp holders, and each lamp holder contains 2 lamps. 2
lamps are contained in the 1 lamp holder, and both lamps are connected to 1 low voltage cable.
Lamp current must be 5.0mArms typical for each lamp, and sum of 2 lamps must be
10mArms typical. (with whole product: 20.0mArms) The lamp current should be measured by
high-frequency current meter at the low voltage terminal.
Note5: In case "FO" is not the recommended value, beat noise may display on the screen, because of
interference between "FO" and "1/th". Recommended value of "FO" is as following.
1 1
4 th
th: Horizontal cycle (See "4.9.2 T iming characteristics".)
n : Natural number (1, 2, 3 ⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅)
Note6: Method of lamp cable installation may invite fluctuation of lamp current and voltage or
asymmetric of lamp working waveform. When designing method of lamp cable installation,
evaluate the fluctuation of lamp current, voltage and working waveform sufficiently.

6. PRECAUTIONS
6.1 MEANING OF CAUTION SIGNS
The following caution signs have very important meaning. Be sure to read "6.2 CAUTIONS" and
"6.3 ATTENTIONS", after understanding these contents!
!
This sign has the meaning that customer will be injured by himself or the product will
sustain a damage, if customer has wrong operations.
This sign has the meaning that customer will get an electrical shock, if customer has
wrong operati ons.
This sign has the meaning that customer will be injured by himself, if customer has
wrong operati ons.
6.2 CAUTIONS
Do not touch the working backlight. Customer will be in danger of an electric shock.
Do not touch the working backlight. Customer will be in danger of burn injury.
Do not shock and press the LCD panel and the backlight! There is a danger of breaking,
because they are made of glass. (Shock: To be not greater 294m/s2 and to be not greater
11ms, Pressure: To be not greater 19.6 N)
6.3 ATTENTIONS
!
6.3.1 Handling of the product
Take hold of both ends without touch the circuit board cover when customer pulls out products
(LCD modules) from inner packing box. If customer touches it, products may be broken down or
out of adjustment, because of stress to mounting parts.
Do not hook nor pull cables such as lamp cable, and so on, in order to avoid damage.
If customer puts down the product temporarily, the product puts on flat subsoil as a display side
turns down.
Take the measures of electrostatic discharge with such as earth band, ionic shower and so on,
because products may be damaged by electrostatic when customer handles the product.
The torque for mounting screws must never exceed 0.49Nm. Higher torque values might result in
distortion of the bezel.
The product must be installed using mounting holes without undue stress such as bends or twist
(See outline drawings). And do not add undue stress to any portion (such as bezel flat area) except
mounting hole portio n.
Bends or twist described above and undue stress to any portion except mounting hole portion may
cause display un-uniformity.
Do not press or rub on the sensitive display surface. If customer clean on the panel surface, NEC
recommends using the cloth with ethanolic liquid such as screen cleaner for LCD.
NL10276BC16-01
DATA SHEET DOD-PD-0790 (3rd edition) 27
Do not push nor pull the interface connectors while the product is working.
Do not bend or unbend the lamp cable at the near part of the lamp holding rubber, to avoid the
damage for high voltage side of the lamp. This damage may cause a lamp breaking and abnormal
operation of high voltage circuit.
If the lamp cable is attached on the metal part of the LCD module directly, a leak high frequency
current to the metal part may occur, then the brightness may decrease or the lamp may not light.
When not connecting FG of the LCD module to the customer's equipment ground, inverter noise
may create a beat frequency that will cause video noise on the LCD screen.
When customer handles the product, use of an original protection sheet on the product surface
(polarizer) is recommended for protection of product surface. Adhesive type protection sheet may
change color or properties of the polarizer.
6.3.2 Environment
Do not operate or store in high temperature, high humidity, dewdrop atmosphere or corrosive
gases. Keep the product in packing box and antistatic pouch in room temperature to avoid for
dusts and sunlight, when customer stores the product.
In order to prevent dew condensation occurring by temperature difference, the product packing
box should be opened after being left under the environment of an unpacking room enough.
Because a situation of dew condensation occurring is changed by the environmental temperature
and humidity. Evaluate the leaving time sufficiently. (Recommendation leaving time: 6 hour or
more with packing state)
Do not operate in high magnetic field. Circuit boards may be broken down by it.
This product is not designed as radiation hardened.
6.3.3 Characteristics
The following items are neither defects nor failures.
Response time, luminance and color may be changed by ambient temperature.
The LCD may be seemed luminance non-uniformity, flicker, vertical seam or small spot by
display patterns.
Optical characteristics (e.g. luminance, display uniformity, etc.) gradually is going to change
depending on operating time, and especially low temperature, because the LCD has cold cathode
fluorescent lamps.
Do not display the fixed pattern for a long time because it may cause image sticking. Use a screen
saver, if the fixed pattern is displayed on the screen.
The display color may be changed by viewing angle because of the use of condenser sheet in the
backlight.
Optical characteristics may be changed by input signal timings.
The interference noise of input signal frequency for this product's signal processing board and
luminance control frequency of customer's inverter may appear on a display. Set up luminance
control frequency of inverter so that the interference noise does not appear.
6.3.4 Other
All VCC and GND terminals should be used without any non-connected lines.
Do not disassemble a product or adjust variable resistors without permission of NEC.
See "REPLACEMENT MANUAL FOR LAMP HOLDER SET", if customer would like to
replace backlight lamps.
Pay attention not to insert waste materials inside of products, if customer uses screwnails.
Pack the product with original shipping package, in order to avoid any damages during
transportation, when customer returns it to NEC for repair and so on.
