The difference between NL3224AC35-01 and NL3224AC35-13 is as follows: • NL3224AC35-01: Antiglare polarizer surface • NL3224AC35-13: Smoth polarizer surface FEATURES • High luminance • NTSC/PAL mode • Reversible horizontal and vertical scanning • 234/240 line display • Wide temparature range • Analog RGB interface • Incorporated edge type backlight APPLICATIONS • Car navigations • TV monitors • Video games • Monitors for process controller The information in this document is subject to change without notice. Please confirm with the delivery specification before statting to design the system. Document No. EN0495EJ1V1DS00 Date Published April 2000 P Printed in Japan 2000 NL3224AC35-01, 13 STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS A TFT color LCD module comprised a TFT LCD panel, LSIs for driving liquid crystal, and a backlight. The TFT LCD panel is composed of a TFT array glass substrate superimposed on a color filter glass substrate with liquid crystal filled in the narrow gap between two substrates. The backlight apparatus is located on the backside of the LCD panel. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) data signals are sent to LCD panel drivers after modulation into suitable forms for active matrix addressing through signal processor. Each of the liquid crystal cells acts as an electro-optical switch that controls the light transmission from the backlight by a signal applied to a signal electrode through the TFT switch.

CAUTION This figure is a mark that you will get hurt and/or the module will have damages when you make a mistake to operate. This figure is a mark that you will get an electric shock when you make a mistake to operate. This figure is a mark that you will get hurt when you make a mistake to operate CAUTION Do not touch an inverter, on which is stuck a caution label··· while the LCD module is under the operation, because of dangerous high voltage. (1) Caution when taking out the module a) Pick the pouch only, when taking out the module from a slipping box. (2) Cautions for handling the module a) As the electrostatic discharges may break the LCD module, handle the LCD module with care against electrostatic discharges. b) As the LCD panel and backlight element are made from fragile glass material, impulse and pressure to the LCD module should be avoided. c) As the surface of polarizer is very soft and easily scratched, use a soft dry cloth without chemicals for cleaning. d) Do not pull the interface connectors in or out while the LCD module is operating. e) Put the module display side down on a flat horizontal plane. f) Handle connectors and cables with care. g) When the module is operating, do not lose EXTCLK, HS, or VS signal. If any one of these signals is lost, the LCD panel would be damaged. (3) Cautions for the atmosphere a) Dew drop atmosphere should be avoided. b) Do not store and/or operate the LCD module in a high temperature and/or high humidity atmosphere. Storage in an Electro-conductive Polymer Packing Pouch and under relatively low temperature atmosphere is recommended. c) This module uses a cold cathod fluorescent lamp. Therefore, the life time of the lamp becomes short conspicuously at low temperature. d) Do not operate the LCD module in high magnetic field. (4) Caution for the module characteristics a) Do not apply the fixed patterns data signal to the LCD module at product aging. In order to avoid image sticking, do not display with fixed pattern. Periodic change of display pattern is recommended. Data Sheet EN0495EJ1V1DS00 21 NL3224AC35-01, 13 (5) Other cautions a) Do not disassemble and/or reassemble LCD module. b) Do not readjust variable resistors nor switches, etc. c) When returning the module for repair etc., pack the module not to be broken. We recommend the original shipping packages. Liquid Crystal Display has the following specific characteristics. There are not defects or malfunctions. The display condition of the LCD module may be affected by the ambient temperature. The module has cold cathode tube for backlighting. Optical characteristics, like luminance or uniformity, will change during time. Uneven brightness and/or small spots may be noticed depending on different display patterns. 22 Data Sheet EN0495EJ1V1DS00 NL3224AC35-01, 13 23 MAX.

No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or of others. While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its Electronic Components, the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or property arising from a defect in an NEC Electronic Components, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features. NEC devices are classified into the following three quanlity grades: "Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quanlity grade applies only to devices developed based on a customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device before using it in a particular application. Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment and industrial robots. Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed for life support) Specific: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life support system or medical equipment for life support, etc. The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books. If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those speci fied for Standard quality grade, they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance. Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product. 2
