It is recommended that the product be designed so that the EL back light is not left on continuously. This will greatly extend the lifo of the back light element. 2. Usable lifetime of the back light is reached when the light output reaches 50% of the original brightness. 70°C .5hr -20°C VIBRATION 10 - 50Hz, 1g, X,YX,Z DIRECTIONS 51 - 300Hz, 0.5g, X,Y,Z DIRECTIONS 1hr 50 0 MECHANICAL 50g 15ms ± X,Y,Z 3 TIMES EACH 50 0 POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING (Graphics Modules Only) The power supply voltages should be sequenced according to the following timing diagram. This will insure that the internal electronics have time to begin operation before the negative voltage is applied. The sequence of events should be as follows: Apply VDD first. When VDD is stable at 5v, apply the input signals and then apply VL/VEE. The shut down sequence is exactly the opposite. Failure to follow this procedure may result in permanent damage to the LCD fluid or to the CMOS electronics on the module. 1second min 1 second min 5v VDD 0v 0 to 50mS 0 - 50mS 5v INPUT SIGNALS 0v 0 sec min 0 sec min VL/VEE 0v Minus v NOTICE: Specifications in this catalog are subject to change without notice.
