1. Operating Precautions
1) Display area (Polarizer) of TFT-LCD Module is easily to be damaged, please be cautious and not
to scratch it.
2) Be sure to power off your machine before connecting or disconnecting your signal cable to
TFT-LCD Module.
3) Wipe off water drop on display area immediately. Long contact with water may cause
discoloration or spots.
4) When the panel surface is soiled, wipe it with absorbent cotton or soft cloth.
5) Display area (Glass) of TFT-LCD Module may be broken or cracked if bump Module against hard
object.
6) To avoid ESD (Electro Static Discharde) damage, be sure to ground yourself before handling
TFT-LCD Module.
7) Do not open nor modify the TFT-LCD module assembly.
8) Do not press the reflector sheet at the back of the module to any direction.
9) In case if TFT-LCD module has to be put back into the packing container slot after it was taken
out from the container, do not press the center of the LED Reflector edge. Instead, press at the
far ends of the LED Reflector edge softly. Otherwise the TFT-LCD Module may be damaged.
10) When inserting or removing of your signal cable to TFT-LCD Module, be sure not to apply
abnormal force (rotate, tilt…etc.) to the Connector of the TFT-LCD Module.
11) TFT-LCD Module is not allowed to be twisted & bent even force is added on module in a very
short time. Please design your display product well to avoid external force applying to module by
end-user directly.
12) Small amount of materials without flammability grade are used in the TFT-LCD module. The
TFT-LCD module should be supplied by power complied with requirements of Limited Power
Source (IEC60950 or UL1950), or be applied exemption.
13) Severe temperature condition may result in different luminance and short LED backlight
opearting life time.
14) Continuous operating TFT-LCD Module under high temperature environment may accelerate
LED light bar exhaustion and reduce luminance dramatically.
15) The data on this specification sheet is applicable when TFT-LCD module is placed in landscape
position.
16) Continuous displaying fixed pattern may induce image sticking. It’s recommended to use screen
saver or moving content periodically if fixed pattern is displayed on the screen.

Note 6: Definition of viewing angle
Viewing angle is the measurement of contrast ratio 10, at the screen center, over a 180° horizontal and 180° vertical
≧
range (off-normal viewing angles). The 180° viewing angle range is broken down as below: 90° (θ) horizontal left and
right, and 90° (Φ) vertical high (up) and low (down). The measurement direction is typically perpendicular to the display
surface with the screen rotated to its center to develop the desired
measurement viewing angle.

11.1 Sharp Edge Requirements
There will be no sharp edges or corners on the display assembly that could cause injury.
11.2 Materials
11.2.1 Toxicity
There will be no carcinogenic materials used anywhere in the TFT-LCD module. If toxic materials are used, they will
be reviewed and approved by the responsible AUO toxicologist.
11.2.2 Flammability
All components including electrical components that do not meet the flammability grade UL94-V1 in the TFT-LCD
module will complete the flammability rating exception approval process.
The printed circuit board will be made from material rated 94-V1 or better. The actual UL flammability rating will be
printed on the printed circuit board.
11.3 Capacitors
If any polarized capacitors are used in the TFT-LCD module, provisions will be made to keep them from being
inserted backwards.
11.4 National Test Lab Requirement
The TFT-LCD module will satisfy all requirements for compliance to UL 60950 (U.S.A. Information Technology
Equipment).
