Notes:

1. Reflectivity (R)
In the Measurement system-1 (see Fig. 1 (a), (b)), calculate the reflectance factor by using the formula (1).

Output from the "White" displayed panel

R = R (White) = × reflectance factor of the reflectance standard …(1)
Output from the reflectance standard
2. Contrast ratio with front light turned off (CR)
In the Measurement system-1 (see Fig. 1 (a), (b)), measure the reflectance factor of "White" and "Black"
respectively and calculate by using the formula (2).

R (White)
CR = …(2)
R (Black)

3. White chromaticity
In the Measurement system-2 (see Fig. 2), measure the white chromaticity. The illumination source and
viewing area are D65 and 2° respectively.

4. Response time
In the Measurement system-3 (see Fig. 3), measure the electro-optical response time.

5. Viewing angle
In the Measurement system-1 (see Fig. 1 (c)), viewing area is defined by the area which makes the CR ≥ 2.

6. Luminance
In the Measurement system-4 (see Fig. 4), measure the luminance and calculate using the following formula
(3).
Lcfl = (Luminance (1) + Luminance (3) + Luminance (5) + Luminance (7) + Luminance (9))/5 …(3)

7. Luminance uniformity
In the Measurement system-4 (see Fig. 4), measure the luminance and calculate using the following formula
(4).
Flunif = Luminance (maximum spot)/Luminance (minimum spot) …(4)

Image Persistence

Display a completely white screen for 20 minutes and continuously display the test pattern shown below for a
minimum of two hours. Then display a completely white screen. A visible image of the box pattern shall not
persist more than two seconds viewed through 2% ND filter. Pattern is black box 80 pixels wide and 120 pixels
in length at minimum luminance, centered horizontally and vertically in the active area. The remainder of the
screen is white.

Cross Modulation

Cross modulation (cross talk) shall be inspected with following test pattern with 2% ND filter. Pattern is black
box 80 pixels wide and 120 pixels in length at minimum luminance, centered horizontally and vertically in the
active area. The remainder of the screen is 50% gray.

Notes on Handling

(1) Static charge prevention

Be sure to take the following protective measures. TFT-LCD panels are easily damaged by static charges.
a) Use non-chargeable gloves, or simply use bare hands.
b) Use an earth-band when handling.
c) Do not touch any electrodes of a panel.
d) Wear non-chargeable clothes and conductive shoes.
e) Install grounded conductive mats on the working floor and working table.
f) Keep panels away from any charged materials.
g) Use ionized air to discharge the panels.

(2) Protection from dust and dirt

a) Operate in a clean environment.
b) Do not touch the front light surface. The surface is easily scratched.
c) Use ionized air to blow dust off the panel.

(3) Others
a) Do not twist or bend the flexible PC board especially at the connecting region because the board is
easily deformed.
b) Do not drop the module.
c) Do not twist or bend the module.
d) Keep the module away from heat sources.
e) Do not dampen the module with water or other solvents.
f) Avoid storage or using the module at high temperature or high humidity, as this may result in damage.
