LCD Panel Operations • A vertical driver, which consists of vertical shift registers, enable-gates and buffers, applies a selected pulse to every 225 gate lines sequentially in every single 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 VCK1, VCK2 pins. 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 circuit, applies selected pulses to every 800 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 dot Thin Film Transistors (TFTs; two TFTs for one dot) turn on to apply a video signal to the dot. The same procedures lead to the entire 225 × 800 dots to display a picture in a single vertical scanning period. • Pixels are arranged in a delta pattern, where sets of RGB pixels are positioned with 1.5-dot offset against juxtaposed horizontal line. For this reason, 1.5-dot offset of a horizontal driver output pulse against horizontal synchronized pulse is required to apply a video signal to each dot properly. 1 H 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 VVDD potential drops to approximately 8.5V. This pin should be grounded when not in use. • The video signal must 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. Hck1 and Hck2 should be exchanged to display the left-direction horizontal scanning (RGT = Low level). This exchange enables the center of the image to be fixed by eliminating offsets.

RGB Simultaneous Sampling'' – 16 – 225 LCX009AK 3. RGB Simultaneous Sampling Horizontal driver performs R, G and B signal sampling simultaneously, which requires the phase matching between R, G, B signals to prevent horizontal resolution from deteriorating. The phase matching by an external signal delaying circuit is needed 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 LCX009 has a right/left inverse function. The following phase relationship diagram indicates the phase setting for the right-direction scanning (RGT = High level). For the left-direction scanning (RGT = Low level), the phase setting should be inverted for B and G signals.

Rgt – 20 – LCX009AK Notes on Handling (1) Static charge prevention Be sure to take following protective measures. 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. Peel off the protective sheet carefully not to damage the panel. c) Do not touch the surface of a panel. The surface is easily scratched. When cleaning, use a clean-room wiper with isopropyl alcohol. Be careful not to leave stain on the surface. d) Use ionized air to blow off dust at a panel. (3) Other handling precautions a) Do not twist or bend the flexible PC board especially at the connecting region because the board is easily deformed. b) Do not drop a panel. c) Do not twist or bend a panel or a panel frame. d) Keep a panel away from heat source. e) Do not dampen a panel with water or other solvents. f) Avoid to store or to use a panel in high temperature or in high humidity, which results in panel damages. – 21 – LCX009AK Package Outline Unit: mm 18.4 ± 0.2 Thickness of the connector 0.3 ± 0.05 8.5 ± 0.05 1.3 ± 0.3 4 1 3 33.2 ± 0.8 5 6 Incident light Active Area 6 9.5 ± 0.25 (10.7) Active Area Reinforcing board 4.0 ± 0.5 1.0 4-R 2 21.0 ± 0.15 sc CK1 No 1 (14.4) 11.0 ± 0.25 PIN16 3.0 ± 0.3 0.5 ± 0.15 × 15 = 7.5 ± 0.03 + 0.04 0.35 – 0.03 0.5 ± 0.1 PIN1 F P C 2.9 ± 0.15 22.0 ± 0.15 P 0.5 ± 0.02 Description 2 Molding material 3 Outside frame 4 Reinforcing board 5 Reinforcing material 6 Polarizing film weight 2g electrode (enlarged) – 22 –
