Please follow the power supply ON/OFF sequence to prevent DC driving of LCD or latch-up of COMS LSI, as shown below. max 1ms VDD VDD VSS Sig VSS (FRM, CL1, CL2, DATA) min0 min0 V I VI min0 VI VCON VI VI min 1FRM VSS min0 VI VSS VSS min0 VI VSS DISPOFF VSS VI VI VCON VCON VDD VI VI VI VSS min 1ms POWER ON POWER OFF Note 1. Please keep the specified sequence because wrong sequence may cause permanent damage to the LCD panel. Note 2. Please use DISPOFF function. Switching by other than the DISPOFF function may cause display deterioration. Note 3. VCON voltage should be set up to adjusted voltage before DISPOFF signal arises. Otherwise, when DISPOFF signal arises, adjusted contrast image may not be generated. Note 4. Please keep the specified sequence of DISPOFF signal because if the signal is short enough, LCD panel may not be restarted.

Page 18 of 19 AGM6424B 9. Precautions for Operation and Storage 9.1 Precautions for Operation (1) Since LCD panel is made of glass, in order to prevent from glass broken or color tone change, please do not apply any mechanical shock or impact or excessive force to it when installing the LCD module. (2) If LCD panel is broken and liquid crystal substance leaks out and contact your skin or clothes, please immediately wash it off by using soap and water. (3) The polarizer on the LCD surface is soft and easily scratched. Please be careful when handling. (4) If LCD surface becomes contaminated, please wipe it off gently by using moisten soft cloth with normal hexane, do not use acetone, ketone, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol or water. If there is saliva or water on the LCD surface, please wipe it off immediately. (5) When handling LCD module, please be sure that the body and the tools are properly grounded. And do not touch I/F pins with bare hands or contaminate I/F pins. (6) Do not attempt to disassemble or process the LCD module. (7) LCD module should be used under recommended operating conditions shown in chapter 6 and 7. (8) Response time will be extremely slower at lower temperature than at specified temperature and LCD will show different color when at higher temperature. The phenomenon will disappear when returning to specified condition. (9) Foggy dew, moisture condensation or water droplets deposited on surface and contact terminals will cause polarizer stain or damage, the deteriorated display quality and electrochemical reaction then leads to the shorter life time and permanent damage to the module probably. Please pay attention to the environmental temperature and humidity. 9.2 Precautions for Storage (1) Please store LCD module in a dark place, avoid exposure to sunlight, the light of fluorescent lamp or any ultraviolet ray. (2) Keep the environment temperature at between 10°C and 35°C and at normal humidity. Avoid high temperature, high humidity or temperature below 0°C. (3) That keeps the LCD modules stored in the container shipped from supplier before using them is recommended. (4) Do not leave any article on the LCD module surface for an extended period of time.
