Cleaning
As with any glass or coated surface, care should be taken to minimize
scratching. Clean the display glass with mild, water-based detergents only.
Apply the cleaner sparingly to a soft cloth, then wipe the display. Disposable
cleaning cloths are recommended to minimize the risk of inadvertently
scratching the display with particles embedded in a re-used cloth. Particular
care should be taken when cleaning displays with anti-glare or anti-reflective
films.
Avoiding Burn-In
As with other light emitting displays, displaying fixed patterns on the screen
can cause burn-in, where luminance variations can be noticed. Use a screen
saver or image-inversion technique to avoid causing burn-in on the display.
Specifications
The EL panel is a matrix structure with column and row electrodes arranged in
an X-Y formation. Light is emitted when an AC voltage of sufficient amplitude
is applied at a row-column intersection. The display operation is based on the
symmetric, line-at-a-time data addressing scheme. Performance characteristics
are guaranteed when measured at 25°C with rated input voltage unless
otherwise specified.
Power
The supply voltages are shown in Table 1. All internal high voltages are
generated from the display supply voltage (VH). The logic supply voltage (VL)
should be present whenever video input signals or VH is applied. The
minimum and maximum specifications in this manual should be met, without
exception, to ensure the long-term reliability of the display. Planar does not
recommend operation of the display outside these specifications.
Any combination or sequencing in the application or removal of VL, VH, or
video signals will not result in abnormal display operation or display
catastrophic failure.
