LCD Panel Operations • A vertical driver, which consists of vertical shift registers, enable-gates and buffers, applies a selected pulse to every 218 gate lines sequentially in every horizontal scanning period. A vertical shift register scans the gate lines from the top to bottom of the panel. • The selected pulse is delivered when the enable pin turns to High level. PAL mode images are displayed by controlling the enable and VCK pin. The enable pin should be High when not in use. • A horizontal driver, which consists of horizontal shift registers, gates and CMOS sample-and-hold circuits applies selected pulses to every 521 signal electrodes sequentially in a single horizontal scanning period. • Scanning direction of horizontal shift register can be switched with RGT pin. Scanning direction is left to right for RGT pin at High level; and right to left for RGT pin at Low level. (These scanning directions are from a front view.) Normally, set to High level. • Vertical and horizontal drivers address one pixel and then turn on Thin Film Transistors (TFTs; two TFTs) to apply a video signal to the dot. The same procedures lead to the entire 218 × 521 dots to display a picture in a single vertical scanning period. • Pixel dots are arranged in a delta pattern, where sets of RGB pixels are positioned with 1.5-dot shifted against adjacent horizontal line. 1.5-dot shift of a horizontal driver output pulse against horizontal synchronized signal is required to apply a video signal to each dot properly. 1H reversed displaying mode is required to apply video signal to the panel. • The CLR pin is provided to eliminate the shading effect caused by the coupling of selected pulses. While maintaining the CLR at High level, the VDD potential of gate output inverter drops to approximately 8.5V. This pin shall be grounded when not in use. • The video signal shall be input with polarity-inverted system in every horizontal cycle. • Timing diagrams of the vertical and the horizontal right-direction scanning (RGT = High level) display cycle are shown below: (1) Vertical display cycle VD VST Vertical display cycle 218H (13.84ms) VCK 1 2 217 218 ∗ VST is sampled at first for VCK.

The horizontal display cycle consists of 521/3 = 174 clock pulses because of RGB simultaneous sampling. ∗ Refer to Description of Operation "3. RGB Simultaneous Sampling." – 17 – LCX024AKB 3. RGB Simultaneous Sampling Horizontal driver samples R, G and B signal simultaneously, which requires the phase matching between R, G and B signals to prevent horizontal resolution from deteriorating. Thus phase matching between each signal is required using an external signal delaying circuit before applying video signal to the LCD panel. Two methods are applied for the delaying procedure: Sample and hold and Delay circuit. These two block diagrams are as follows. The LCX024AKB has the right/left inverse function. The following phase relationship diagram indicates the phase setting for the right scan (RGT = High level). For the left scan (RGT = Low level), the phase setting shall be inverted between B and G signals.

TFT-LCD panels are easily damaged by static charge. a) Use non-chargeable gloves, or simply use bare hands. b) Use an earth-band when handling. c) Do not touch any electrodes of a panel. d) Wear non-chargeable clothes and conductive shoes. e) Install conductive mat on the working floor and working table. f) Keep panels away from any charged materials. g) Use ionized air to discharge the panels. (2) Protection from dust and dirt a) Operate in clean environment. b) When delivered, a surface of a panel (Polarizer) is covered by a protective sheet.
