Note (2)
d.c
If PWM control frequency is applied in the range less than 1KHz, the “waterfall” phenomenon on
the screen may be found. To avoid the issue, it’s a suggestion that PWM control frequency should
follow the criterion as below.
PWM control frequency f PWM should be in the range
( N  0.33)  f  fPWM  ( N  0.66)  f
slc
N : Integer ( N  3)
f : Frame rate
Note (3) The specified LED power supply current is under the conditions at “LED_VCCS = Typ.”, Ta = 25
w.y

± 2 ºC, f PWM = 200 Hz, Duty=100%.

Note (4) The specified signals have equivalent impedances pull down to ground in the LCD module
respectively. Customers should keep the input signal level requirement with the load of LCD
module. For example, the figure below describes the equivalent pull down impedance of
LED_EN (If it exists). The rest pull down impedances of other signals (eg. HPD, PWM …) are in
ww

the same concept.

Note (5) If the cycle-to-cycle difference of PWM duty exceeds 0.1%, especially when the PWM duty is low,
slight brightness change might be observed.

8. PRECAUTIONS
8.1 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
(1) The module should be assembled into the system firmly by using every mounting hole. Be careful
not to twist or bend the module.
(2) While assembling or installing modules, it can only be in the clean area. The dust and oil may cause
electrical short or damage the polarizer.

.tw
(3) Use fingerstalls or soft gloves in order to keep display clean during the incoming inspection and
assembly process.
(4) Do not press or scratch the surface harder than a HB pencil lead on the panel because the polarizer
is very soft and easily scratched.

om
(5) If the surface of the polarizer is dirty, please clean it by some absorbent cotton or soft cloth. Do not
use Ketone type materials (ex. Acetone), Ethyl alcohol, Toluene, Ethyl acid or Methyl chloride. It
might permanently damage the polarizer due to chemical reaction.
(6) Wipe off water droplets or oil immediately. Staining and discoloration may occur if they left on panel
for a long time.
d.c
(7) If the liquid crystal material leaks from the panel, it should be kept away from the eyes or mouth. In
case of contacting with hands, legs or clothes, it must be washed away thoroughly with soap.
(8) Protect the module from static electricity, it may cause damage to the C-MOS Gate Array IC.
(9) Do not disassemble the module.
slc
(10) Do not pull or fold the LED wire.
(11) Pins of I/F connector should not be touched directly with bare hands.

8.2 STORAGE PRECAUTIONS

w.y

(1) High temperature or humidity may reduce the performance of module. Please store LCD module
within the specified storage conditions.
(2) It is dangerous that moisture come into or contacted the LCD module, because the moisture may
damage LCD module when it is operating.
(3) It may reduce the display quality if the ambient temperature is lower than 10 ºC. For example, the
ww

response time will become slowly, and the starting voltage of LED will be higher than the room
temperature.

8.3 OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

(1) Do not pull the I/F connector in or out while the module is operating.
(2) Always follow the correct power on/off sequence when LCD module is connecting and operating.
This can prevent the CMOS LSI chips from damage during latch-up.
(3) The startup voltage of Backlight is approximately 1000 Volts. It may cause electrical shock while
assembling with converter. Do not disassemble the module or insert anything into the Backlight unit.

Gap between panel’s maximum thickness boundary & system’s inner surface components
such as wire, cable, extrusion is needed for preventing from backpack or pogo test fail.
Because zero gap or interference may cause stress concentration. Issues such as pooling,
abnormal display, white spot, and cell crack may occur.
Maximum flatness of panel and system rear-cover should be taken into account for gap

Gap between panel & protrusions is needed to prevent shock test failure. Because
protrusions with small gap may hit panel during the test. Issue such as cell crack, abnormal
display may occur.
The gap should be large enough to absorb the maximum displacement during the test.

Gap between system front-cover & panel surface is needed to prevent pooling or glass
broken. Zero gap or interference such as burr and warpage from mold frame may cause
pooling issue near system font-cover opening edge. This phenomenon is obvious during
swing test, hinge test, knock test, or during pooling inspection procedure.
To remain sufficient gap, design with system rib higher than maximum panel thickness is
Definition
recommended.

7 Tape/sponge design on system inner surface

Version 3.0 12 August 2015 38 / 43

The copyright belongs to InnoLux. Any unauthorized use is prohibited.
 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

.tw
Definition To prevent abnormal display & white spot after scuffing test, hinge test, pogo test, backpack
test, tape/sponge should be well covered under panel rear-cover. Because tape/sponge in

om
separate location may act as pressure concentration location.

8 Material used for system rear-cover

d.c
Definition System rear-cover material with high rigidity is needed to resist deformation during scuffing
test, hinge test, pogo test, or backpack test. Abnormal display, white spot, pooling issue may
occur if low rigidity material is used. Pooling issue may occur because screw’s boss
positioning for module’s bracket are deformed during open-close test.
Solid structure design of system rear-cover may also influence the rigidity of system
rear-cover. The deformation of system rear-cover should not caused interference.
slc
9 System base unit design near keyboard and mouse pad
w.y

Definition To prevent abnormal display & white spot after scuffing test, hinge test, pogo test, backpack
test, sharp edge design in keyboard surface may damage panel during the test. We suggest
ww

to use slope edge design, or to reduce the thickness difference of keyboard/mouse pad from
the nearby surface.

10 Screw boss height design

Version 3.0 12 August 2015 39 / 43

 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

.tw
om
Definition Screw boss height should be designed with respect to the height of bracket bottom surface
to panel bottom surface + flatness change of panel itself. Because gap will exist between
screw boss and bracket, if the screw boss height is smaller. As result while fastening screw,
bracket will deformed and pooling issue may occur.

11 Assembly SOP examination for system front-cover with Hook design

Definition To prevent panel crack during system front-cover assembly process with hook design, it is
not recommended to press panel or any location that related directly to the panel.
w.y

12 Assembly SOP examination for system front-cover with Double tape design
ww

Definition To prevent panel crack during system front-cover assembly process with double tape
design, it is only allowed to give slight pressure (MAX 3 Kgf/50mm2) with large contact area.
This can help to distribute the stress and prevent stress concentration. We also suggest
putting the system on a flat surface stage to prevent unequal stress distribution during the
assembly.

Definition For using in Touch Application: to prevent White Line appears between TP and LCD module
combination, the maximum inspection angle location must not fall onto LCD polarizer edge,
otherwise light line near edge of polarizer will be appear.
Parameters such as TP VA to LCD AA distance, TP assembly tolerance, TP Ink printing
tolerance, Sponge thickness and tolerance, and Maximum Inspection/Viewing Angle, must
be considered with respect to LCD module’s Polarizer edge location and tolerance. This

om
consideration must be taken at all four edges separately.
The goal is to find parameters combination that allow maximum inspection angle falls inside
polarizer black margin area.
Note: Information for Polarizer edge location and its tolerance can be derived from INX 2D
Outline Drawing (“AA ~Outline“ - “CF Pol~Outline”).
Note: Please feel free to contact INX FAE Engineer. By providing value of parameters above
on each side, we can help to verify and pass the white line risk assessment for customer
reference.
