12. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR TFT-LCD MODULE
Please pay attention to the followings in handling TFT-LCD products;
(1) ASSEMBLY PRECAUTION
a. Please mount the LCD module by using mounting hole with a screw clamping torque
(recommended value: 0.40.04 Nm, recommended screw: B-TITE 3). Please do not bend or
wrench the LCD module in assembling. Please do not drop, bend or twist the LCD module in
handling.
b. Please design display housing in accordance with the following guide lines.
(a) Housing case must be designed carefully so as not to put stress on LCD and not to wrench
module. If customer uses compression mounting, please evaluate housing case with LCD
carefully to avoid image quality issue caused by mechanical stress.
(b) Under high temperature environment, performance and life time of LED may heavily
shorten. When you design with our LCD product, please consider radiating heat and
ventilation for good heat management.
(c) Keep sufficient clearance between LCD module back surface and housing when the LCD
module is mounted. Approximately 1.0mm of the clearance in the design is recommended
taking into account the tolerance of LCD module thickness and mounting structure height on
the housing.
(d) When some parts, such as, FPC cable and ferrite plate, are installed underneath the LCD
module, still sufficient clearance is required, such as 0.5mm. This clearance is, especially, to
be reconsidered when the additional parts are implemented for EMI countermeasure.
(e) Keep sufficient clearance between LCD module and the others parts, such as inverter and
speaker so as not to interfere the LCD module. Approximately 1.0 mm of the clearance in the
design is recommended.
(f) To avoid local elevation/decrease of temperature, considering location of heating element,
heat release, thermal design should be done.
c. Please do not push or scratch LCD panel surface with anything hard. And do not soil LCD panel
surface by touching with bare hands. (Polarizer film, surface of LCD panel is easy to be flawed.)
d. Please wipe off LCD panel surface with absorbent cotton or soft cloth in case of it being soiled.
e. Please wipe off drops of adhesives like saliva and water on LCD panel surface immediately. They
might damage to cause panel surface variation and color change.
f. Please do not take a LCD module to pieces and reconstruct it. Resolving and reconstructing
modules may cause them not to work well.
g. Please do not touch metal frames with bare hands and soiled gloves. A color change of the metal
frames can happen during a long preservation of soiled LCD modules.
h. Please handle metal frame carefully because edge of metal frame is very sharp.
i. Please connect the metal frame of LCD module to GND in order to minimize the effect of
external noise and EMI.
j. Be sure to connect the cables and the connecters correctly.
