LCX028BMT
4.6cm (1.8-inch) Black-and-White LCD Panel
Description
The LCX028BMT is a 4.6cm diagonal active matrix
TFT-LCD panel addressed by polycrystalline silicon
super thin film transistors with a built-in peripheral
driving circuit. Use of three LCX028BMT 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 a high luminance screen. And cross talk free
circuit and ghost free circuit contribute to high
picture quality.
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 4:3 and 16:9 data signals by changing
the active area according to the type of input signal.

Input video signal shall be symmetrical to VVC.
The typical value of the common pad voltage may lower its suitable voltage according to the set
construction to use. In this case, use the voltage of which has maximum contrast as typical value.
When the typical value is lowered, the maximum and minimum values may lower.
Input a uniformity improvement signal PSIG in the same polarity with video signals VSIG1 to VSIG12 and
which is symmetrical to VVC. PSIG wave form is 2 steps like below, in the upper chart, upper shows signal
level of the 1st step, lower shows signal level of the 2nd step. Also, the rising and falling of PSIG are
synchronized with the rising of PCG pulse, and the rise time trPSIG and fall time tfPSIG are suppressed
within 400ns (as shown in a diagram below).

Hckn means Hck1 and Hck2.
The minimum value of tdEnb is 450ns. When H-BLK has a long cycle and has some time to spare, take
more time prior to other value.
Blk is the timing during 4:3 and 16:9 aspect-ratio mode, which keeps "H" level in other modes.

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.

5. Flicker
Flicker (F) is given by formula (7). DC and AC (SXGA: 30Hz, rms) components of the panel output signal
for gray raster∗ mode are measured by a DC voltmeter and a spectrum analyzer in System II.
F [dB] = 20log
∗ Each input signal voltage for gray raster mode
is given by Vsig = 7.0 ± V50 [V]
where: V50 is the signal amplitude which gives
50% of transmittance in V-T characteristics.

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 1024 gate lines sequentially in a single horizontal scanning period. (SXGA mode)
• A horizontal driver, which consists of horizontal shift registers, gates and CMOS sample-and-hold circuits,
applies selected pulses to every 1280 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 1024 × 1280 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 VB1, VB2 and BLK. However, the center of the screen is not changed.

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.

both the H and V systems must be varied. The phase relationship between the start pulse and the clock for
each mode is shown below.

3. 12-dot Simultaneous Sampling
The horizontal shift register samples signals VSIG1 to VSIG12 simultaneously. This requires phase
matching between signals VSIG1 to VSIG12 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 VSIG1 to VSIG12 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 (glass panel) is covered by a protective sheet. Peel off the protective
sheet carefully so as not to damage the glass panel.
c) Do not touch the glass panel surface. The surface is easily scratched. When cleaning, use a cleanroom wiper with isopropyl alcohol. Be careful not to leave a stain on the surface.
d) Use ionized air to blow dust off the glass panel.
(3) Light resistance
Orientation film and organic matter such as liquid crystal used inside of the LCD panel deteriorate by the
light chemical reaction. As a result, its indication characteristic may irreversible change. The progress of its
chemical reaction is influenced by short wavelength side's light (characteristics of UV cut filter) and
temperature when quantitiy of light is constant. To control its progress, attach suitable UV cut filter between
light source and LCD panel. (Sharp characteristic's filter of λ > 425nm is recommended.) Also, use suitable
IR cut filter to lower the temperature of LCD panel and cool the panel carefully.
(4) 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 0.294N·m or less.
i) Do not pressure the portion other than mounting hole (cover).
