ALP401
Low-Temperature Polysilicon
4.0-inch TFT LCD Module
Overview
This 4.0-inch LCD module is a full-color active matrix
module that uses low-temperature polysilicon thin-film
transistors and includes built-in driver circuits for thinframe mounting. This module conforms to both NTSC
and PAL formats and the RGB stripe dot arrangement
adopted is optimal for use in digital video cameras and
PDAs as a display.
Features and Functions
• High-sharpness images with no crosstalk and a high
contrast ratio.
• 230,400 dots in an RGB stripe arrangement for highresolution and high-quality images.
• Transparency : about 6.7%.
• Built-in horizontal and vertical drivers with a level shift
circuit for narrow frames, thin form factors, light
weight, and low power dissipation.
• Support for scan reversal both horizontally and vertically.
