Liquid Crystal Display Modules
The LCD is composed of two pieces of glass and a polarizer. Pay attention to the following advice when
handling.
(1) Keep the temperature within specified range for use and storage. Polarizer degradation, bubble
generation or polarizer peel-off may occur with high temperature and high humidity.
(2) Do not touch, press or rub the exposed polarizers with anything harder than a HB pencil lead (not
glass, tweezers, etc.).
(3) N - hexane is recommended for cleaning the front and rear polarizers.
(Caution: read the safety instructions which accompany the cleaning solution.) Do not
use other chemicals such as acetone, toluene, ethanol and isopropanol, as they will damage
the adhesives used to attach the polarisers and reflectors.
(4) If the display surface becomes dusty wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft material such as a
chamois soaked in petroleum benzine. Do not scrub hard or you will damage the display surface.
(5) Wipe off saliva or water drops immediately. Contact with water over long periods of time may cause
marking of the display surface.
(6) Avoid contact with oil and fats.
(7) Condensation on the surface and contact terminals will damage, stain or contaminate the polarizers.
After products are tested at low temperatures they must be warmed slowly before coming into contact
with room temperature air, to avoid condensation.
(8) To avoid marking the surface, do not attach anything to the display.
(9) Do not handle the display with bare hands. This will stain the display area and degrade the insulation
between the terminals. (Some cosmetics are detrimental to the polarizers).
(10) As glass is fragile, it can become chipped during handling, especially at the edges. Avoid excessive
shock, and do not drop.

Installing LCD Modules

There are 4 mounting holes on the printed circuit board. A typical LCM is shown in the picture below. Pay
close attention to these instructions when installing the LCM.
(1) Cover the surface with a transparent protective plate to protect the polarizer and LC cell.
(2) When assembling the LCM into other equipment, ensure that there is a spacer between the LCM and
the mounting plate. The height of the spacer should be sufficient to avoid causing stress to the module
surface. Refer to individual specifications for dimensions. The dimension tolerance is ±0.1 mm.
Protective plate

Mounting plate

Precaution for Handling LCD Modules

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.
(1) Do not alter, modify or change the shape of the tab on the metal frame.
(2) Do not make extra holes on the printed circuit board, modify its shape or change the positions of
attached components.
(3) Do not damage or modify the tracks on the printed circuit board.
(4) Do not modify the rubber zebra-strip (conductive rubber) or touch it with another object.
(5) Except for soldering the connections, do not make any alterations or modifications with a soldering
iron.
(6) Do not drop, bend or twist the LCM.

18
Electro-Static Discharge Control
Since this module uses a CMOS IC, the following electrostatic discharge precautions must be observed.
(1) Ensure that you are connected to earth when handling the LCM.
(2) Before removing the LCM from its case or handling it, ensure that the module and your body are at the
same potential.
(3) When soldering to the terminals of the LCM use only a soldering iron that has an isolated AC supply.
(4) When using an electric screwdriver to attach the LCM, ensure that the screwdriver is grounded to
minimize the effects of electro-magnetic interference from the motor.
(5) Clothes, tools and workbench should all be kept at ground potential.
(6) To reduce the generation of static electricity ensure that the air in the working environment is not too
dry (A relative humidity of 50% - 60% is recommended.)

Precautions for Soldering to the LCM

(1) Observe the following when soldering connections to the LCM.
• Soldering iron temperature: 280°C to 300°C
• Soldering time: 3-4 sec.
• Solder: eutectic solder
If soldering flux is used, be sure to remove any remaining flux after finishing the soldering operation.
(This does not apply in the case of a non-halogen type of flux). It is recommended that you protect the
LCD surface with a cover during soldering to prevent any damage due to flux spatters.
(2) When soldering the electro-luminescent panel to the printed circuit board, the panel and board should
not be detached more than about three times. This maximum number may be varied, depending on the
temperature and time conditions mentioned above.
(3) When removing the electro-luminescent panel from the printed circuit board, be sure that the solder
has completely melted or the solder pads on the board could be damaged.

Precautions for Operation

(1) The viewing angle can be varied by varying the LCD driving voltage (Vo). Adjust Vo to obtain the
optimum contrast.
(2) Do not exceed the maximum LCD drive voltage. This will reduce the life of the display module.
(3) Response time is considerably slower at temperatures below the operating temperature range. The
display area becomes a darker colour at temperatures above this range. However this does not mean
the LCD will be damaged - it will recover when the temperature returns to the specified range.
(4) Do not touch or apply pressure to the display area. This will cause the display to become discoloured
or black. Should this occur, remove power from the unit. The display should return to normal when the
power is re-applied.
(5) Condensation on the terminals can cause an eletro-chemical reaction, causing a bad connection.
Therefore, the LCM must be used at a maximum relative humidity of 50% RH @ 40 °C.
(6) When turning on power, do not operate the signal inputs until the supply has had time to stabilize, as
shown below.

Storage
The following precautions must be observed when storing LCD modules for long periods.
(1) Store them in a sealed polyethylene bag. If properly sealed, there is no need to use desiccant.
(2) Store them in a dark place, do not expose to sunlight or fluorescent light. Keep the temperature
between 0°C and 35 °C.
(3) The polarizer surface should not come in contact with any other object. (We advise you to store them
in the container in which they were shipped).
(4) Environmental conditions:
• Do not store at a temperature of 60 °C or above, for longer than 168 hrs (7 days).
• Do not store at a temperature of -20 °C or below, for longer than 48 hrs (2 days).

Safety
(1) Damaged or unnecessary LCD's should be crushed into pieces and washed with solvents such as
acetone and ethanol, which should then be burned.
(2) If any liquid leaks out of a damaged glass cell and comes in contact with the hands, wash off
thoroughly with soap and water, and seek medical attention.
