12.0 HANDLING & CAUTIONS

12.1 Cautions when taking out the module

Ÿ Pick the pouch only, when taking out module from a shipping package.

12.2 Cautions for handling the module

Ÿ As the electrostatic discharges may break the LCD module, handle the LCD module with care.

Peel a protection sheet off from the LCD panel surface as slowly as possible.

Ÿ As the LCD panel and backlight element are made from fragile glass material, impulse and

pressure to the LCD module should be avoided.

Ÿ As the surface of the polarizer is very soft and easily scratched, use a soft dry cloth without

chemicals for cleaning.

Ÿ Do not pull the interface connector in or out while the LCD module is operating.

Ÿ Put the module display side down on a flat horizontal plane.

Ÿ Handle connectors and cables with care.

12.3 Cautions for the operation

Ÿ When the module is operating, do not lose MCLK, DE signals. If any one of these signals

were lost, the LCD panel would be damaged.

Ÿ Obey the supply voltage sequence. If wrong sequence were applied, the module would be

damaged.

12.4 Cautions for the atmosphere

Ÿ Dewdrop atmosphere should be avoided.

Ÿ Do not store and/or operate the LCD module in a high temperature and/or humidity

atmosphere. Storage in an electro-conductive polymer-packing pouch and under relatively low

temperature atmosphere is recommended.

12.5 Cautions for the module characteristics

Ÿ Do not apply fixed pattern data signal to the LCD module at product aging.

Ÿ Applying fixed pattern for a long time may cause image sticking.

12.6 Other cautions

Ÿ Do not disassemble and/or re-assemble LCD module.

Ÿ Do not re-adjust variable resistor or switch etc.

Ÿ When returning the module for repair or etc, please pack the module not to be broken. We

recommend using the original shipping packages.
