General Description This specification applies to the 31.51 inch Color TFT-LCD Module T315XW02 V9. This LCD module has a TFT active matrix type liquid crystal panel 1366x768 pixels, and diagonal size of 31.51 inch. This module supports 1366x768 XGA-WIDE mode (Non-interlace). 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 T315XW02 V9 has been designed to apply the 8-bit 1 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. * General Information Items Specification Unit Note Active Screen Size 31.51 inches Display Area 697.685 (H) x 392.256(V) mm Outline Dimension 760.0(H) x 450.0(V) x 45(D) mm With inverter Driver Element a-Si TFT active matrix Display Colors 16.7M Colors Number of Pixels 1366 x 768 Pixel Pixel Pitch 0.51075 mm Pixel Arrangement RGB vertical stripe Display Mode Normally Black Surface Treatment AG, 3H ©Copyright AU Optronics, Inc.

The performance of the Lamp in LCM, for example life time or brightness, is extremely influenced by the characteristics of the DC-AC Inverter. So all the parameters of an inverter should be carefully designed so as not to produce too much leakage current from high-voltage output of the inverter. When you design or order the inverter, please make sure unwanted lighting caused by the mismatch of the lamp and the inverter (no lighting, flicker, etc) never occurs. When you confirm it, the LCD Assembly should be operated in the same condition as installed in your instrument. 6. 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. 7. 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. ©Copyright AU Optronics, Inc. January, 2003 All Rights Reserved.

Contrast Ratio (CR) is defined mathematically as: Surface Luminance of L on1 Contrast Ratio= Surface Luminance of L off1 2. Surface luminance is luminance value at point 1 across the LCD surface 50cm from the surface with all pixels displaying white. From more information see FIG 2. When VDDB = 24V, IDDB = 5A. L =Lon1 WH Where Lon1 is the luminance with all pixels displaying white at center 1 location. 3. The variation in surface luminance, δWHITE is defined (center of Screen) as: δ = Maximum(L , L , …,L )/ Minimum(L , L ,…L ) WHITE(9P) on1 on2 on9 on1 on2 on9 4. Response time is the time required for the display to transition from black to white(Rise Time, Tr ) and R from white to black (Decay Time, Tr ). For additional information see FIG3. D 5. Tγ is the response time between any two gray scale and is based on f =60Hz to optimize. v 6. Viewing angle is the angle at which 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 FIG4.

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 causes circuit break by electro-chemical reaction. (6) Do not touch, push or rub the exposed polarizers 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 polarizers. 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 spike noise causes the mis-operation of circuits. It should be lower than following voltage: V=±200mV(Over and under shoot voltage) (2) Response time depends on the temperature. (In lower temperature, it becomes longer..) (3) Brightness 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. (4) 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. (5) When fixed patterns are displayed for a long time, remnant image is likely to occur. (6) Module has high frequency circuits. Sufficient suppression to the electromagnetic interference shall be done by system manufacturers. Grounding and shielding methods may be important to minimize the interface. ©Copyright AU Optronics, Inc. January, 2003 All Rights Reserved. T315XW02 V9 - Specs. Ver 0 27/28 No Reproduction and Redistribution Allowed 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 wrist band 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 flue 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. ©Copyright AU Optronics, Inc.
