Liquid Crystal Display Modules
REFLECTIVE/TRANSFLECTIVE/TRANSMISSIVE LCD
Reflective LCD
Transflective LCD
Reflector bonded to the rear polarizer
reflects the incoming ambient light. Low power
consumption because no backlight is required.
Transmissive LCD
Transflector bonded to the rear polarizer reflects light from the front as well as enabling
lights to pass through the back. Used with
backlight off in bright light and with it on in low
light to reduce power consumption.

TN( Twisted Nematic) type is most conventional and economical. It is used for static drive LCD and
low-duty drive LCD ( watch,calculator, etc.)
STN (Super Twisted Nematic) type has a higher twist angle, and thus provides clear visibility
and wider viewing angle. This is suitable especially for high-duty drive LCD.
FSTN (Film Super Twisted Nematic) type utilizes RCF (Retardation Control Film) to remove
the coloring of STN LCD. Thus FSTN type provides easy-to-read black-and-white display.

Precautions
Safety Instructions
• If the LCD panel is damaged, be careful not to get the
liquid crystal in your mouth and not to be injured by
crushed glasses.
• If you should swallow the liquid crystal, first, wash your
mouth thoroughly with water, then, drink a lot of water
and induce vomiting, and then, consult a physician.
• If the liquid crystal should get in your eye, flush your
eye with running water for at least fifteen minutes.
• If the liquid crystal touches your skin or clothes, remove it and wash the affected part of your skin or
clothes with soap and running water.
• EL or CFL backlight is driven by a high voltage with an
inverter. Do not touch the connection part or the wiring pattern of the inverter.
• Do not use inverters without a load or in the short-circuit mode.
• Use the LCD module within the rated voltage to prevent overheating and/or damage. Also, take steps to
ensure that the connector does not come off.
Handling Precautions
• Since the LCD panel has glass substrate, avoid applying mechanical shock or pressure on the module. Do
not drop, bend, twist or press the module.
• Do not soil or damage LCD panel terminals.
• Since the polarizer is made of easily-scratched material, be careful not to touch or place objects on the display surface.
• Keep the display surface clean. Do not touch it with
your skin.
• CMOS LSI is used in the LCD module. Be careful of
static electricity.
• Do not disassemble the module or remove the liquid
crystal panel or the panel frame.
• Do not damage the film surface of the EL lamp; otherwise the lamp will be damaged by humidity.
• To set an EL lamp in an LCD module, push the EL
lamp with its emitting side up, without pushing the rubber connectors too hard. If you damage them, the LCD
module may not work properly.
Mounting and Designing
• To protect the polarizer and the LCD panel, cover the
display surface with a transparent plate (e.g., acrylic
or glass) with a small gap between the transparent plate
and the display surface.
• Keep the module dry. Avoid condensation to prevent
the transparent electrodes from being damaged.
• Drive LCD panel with AC waveform in which DC element is not included to prevent deterioration in the LCD
panel.
• Contrast of LCD varies depending on the ambient temperature. To offer the optimum contrast, LC drive voltage should be adjusted. LCD driven in a high duty
ratio must be provided with drive voltage adjustment
method.
• Mount a LCD module with the specified mounting part/
holes.
9
• Design the equipment so that input signal is not applied to the LCD module while power supply voltage is
not applied to it.
• Do not locate the CFL tube and the lamp lead wire
close to a metal plate or a plated part inside the equipment. Otherwise stray capacity causes a drop in voltage, decreasing the brightness and the ability to startup.
Cleaning
• Do not wipe the polarizer with a dry cloth, as it may
scratch the surface.
• Wipe the LCD panel gently with a soft cloth soaked
with a petroleum benzine.
• Do not use ketonic solvents (ketone and acetone)or
aromatic solvents (toluene and xylene), as they may
damage the polarizer.
Storing
• Store the LCD panel in a dark place, where the temperature is 25°C±10°C and the relative humidity below 65%. If possible, store the LCD panel in the packaging situation when it was delivered.
• Do not store the module near organic solvents or corrosive gases.
• Keep the module (including accessories) safe from vibration, shock and pressure.
• Use an LCD module with built-in EL backlight within
six months of delivery.
• EL backlight is easily affected by environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity; the quality
may deteriorate if stored for an extended period of time.
Contact Seiko Instruments GmbH for details.
• Some parts of the backlight and the inverter generate
heat. Take care so that the heat does not affect the
liquid crystal or any other parts.
• Dust particles attached to the surface of the LCD or
the surface of the backlight degrade the display quality. Be careful to keep dust out in designing the structure as well as in handling the module.
• Black or white air-bubbles may be produced if the LCD
panel is stored for long time in the lower temperature
or mechanical shocks are applied onto the LCD panel.
