2) Lamp frequency of inverter may produce interference with horizontal synchronous frequency, and

this may cause horizontal beat on the display. Therefore, please adjust lamp frequency, and keep

inverter as far from module as possible or use electronic shielding between inverter and module

to avoid the interference.

3) Lamp life time is defined as the time either when the brightness becomes 50% of the initial value,

or when the starting lamp voltage does not meet the value specified in this table.

4) The life time of the backlight depends on the ambient temperature. The life time will decrease

under low/high temperature.

5) Please use the inverter which has symmetrical current wave form as follows,

The degree of unbalance: less than 10%

The ratio of wave height: less than 2±10%

IPH

IPL

IPH: High side peak

IPL: Low side peak

The degree of unb alance = |IPH - IPL| / I rm s × 100(%)

The ratio of wave height = IPH(or IPL) / Irms
