LCX016AL
3.3cm (1.3-inch) Black-and-White LCD Panel
For the availability of this product, please contact the sales office.
Description
The LCX016AL is a 3.3cm diagonal active matrix
TFT-LCD panel addressed by polycrystalline silicon
super thin film transistors with a built-in peripheral
driving circuit. Use of three LCX016AL panels
provides a full-color representation. The striped
arrangement suitable for data projectors is capable
of displaying fine text and vertical lines.
The adoption of an advanced on-chip black matrix
realizes high picture quality without cross talk by
incorporating a high luminance screen and cross
talk free circuit.
This panel has a polysilicon TFT high-speed
scanner and built-in function to display images
up/down and/or right/left inverse. The built-in 5V
interface circuit leads to lower voltage of timing and
control signals.
The panel contains an active area variable circuit
which supports Macintosh17∗1/SVGA/VGA/PC98∗2
data signals by changing the active area according
to the type of input signal. In addition, double-speed
processed NTSC/PAL can also be supported.
∗1 “Macintosh” is a treadmark of Apple Computer, Inc.
∗2 “PC98” is a treadmark of NEC Corporation.

Reflection Preventive Processing
When a phase substrate which rotates the polarization axis is used to adjust to the polarization direction of a
polarization screen or prism, use a phase substrate with reflection preventive processing on the surface. This
prevents characteristic deterioration caused by luminous reflection.

6. Image Retention Time
Apply the monoscope signal to the LCD panel for 60 minutes and then change this signal to the gray scale
of Vsig = 7.0 ± VAC (VAC: 3 to 4V). Judging by sight at the VAC that holds the maximum image retention,
measure the time till the residual image becomes indistinct.

2. LCD Panel Operations
[Description of basic operations]
• A vertical driver, which consists of vertical shift registers, enable-gates and buffers, applies a selected pulse
to every 624 gate lines sequentially in a single horizontal scanning period. (in Macintosh17 mode)
• A horizontal driver, which consists of horizontal shift registers, gates and CMOS sample-and-hold circuits,
applies selected pulses to every 832 signal electrodes sequentially in a single horizontal scanning period.
These pulses are used to supply the sampled video signal to the row signal lines.
• Vertical and horizontal shift registers address one pixel, and then Thin Film Transistors (TFTs; two TFTs) turn
on to apply a video signal to the dot. The same procedures lead to the entire 624 × 832 dots to display a
picture in a single vertical scanning period.
• The data and video signals shall be input with the 1H-inverted system.
[Description of operating mode]
This LCD panel can change the active area by displaying a black frame to support various computer or video
signals. The active area is switched by MODE1, 2 and 3. However, the center of the screen is not changed.
The active area setting modes are shown below.

This LCD panel has the following functions to easily apply to various uses, as well as various broadcasting
systems.
• Right/left inverse mode
• Up/down inverse mode
These modes are controlled by two signals (RGT and DWN). The right/left and/or up/down setting modes are
shown below.

Right/left and/or up/down mean the direction when the Pin 1 marking is located at the right side with the pin
block upside.
To locate the active area in the center of the panel in each mode, polarity of the start pulse and clock phase for
both the H and V systems nust be varied. The phase relationship between the start pulse and the clock for
each mode is shown on the following pages.

3. 6-dot Simultaneous Sampling
The horizontal shift register samples signals SIG1 to SIG6 simultaneously. This requires phase matching
between signals SIG1 to SIG6 to prevent the horizontal resolution from deteriorating. Thus, phase matching
between each signal is required using an external signal delaying circuit before applying the video signal to
the LCD panel.

The block diagram of the delaying procedure using the sample-and-hold method is as follows. The following
phase relationship diagram indicates the phase setting for right scan (RGT = High level). For left scan (RGT =
Low level), the phase settings for signals SIG1 to SIG6 are exactly reversed.

Notes on Handling
(1) Static charge prevention
Be sure to take the following protective measures. TFT-LCD panels are easily damaged by static charges.
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 mats 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 a clean environment.
b) When delivered, the panel surface (Polarizer) is covered by a protective sheet. Peel off the protective
sheet carefully so as not to damage the panel.
c) Do not touch the panel surface. The surface is easily scratched. When cleaning, use a clean-room
wiper with isopropyl alcohol. Be careful not to leave a stain on the surface.
d) Use ionized air to blow dust off the 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 the panel.
c) Do not twist or bend the panel or panel frame.
d) Keep the panel away from heat sources.
e) Do not dampen the panel with water or other solvents.
f) Avoid storing or using the panel at a high temperature or high humidity, which may result in panel
damages.
g) Minimum radius of bending curvature for a flexible substrate must be 1mm.
h) Torque required to tighten screws on a panel must be 3kg · cm or less.
