Handling Precautions
11.1
Mounting method
Do not make extra holes in the display or modify its shape. When mounting the display, ensure that the display
does not flex, bend or twist. Extreme care should be used when handling the LCD modules.
11.2
LCD Handling and Cleaning Precaution
To clean the display surface, it is recommended to wipe lightly using a soft cloth with either Isopropyl alcohol or
Ethyl alcohol.
Do not wipe the display surface with dry or hard materials as it may damage the polarizer surface.
Do not use Water or Aromatics to clean the display.
Do not wipe ITO pad area with dry or hard materials that will damage the ITO patterns
Do not use Soldering flux, Chlorine(Cl), and Sulfur(S) on the pad or prevent it from being contaminated.
If the display is sent without applying a silicon coat on the pad, the ITO patterns could be damaged due to
corrosion as time goes on.
If ITO corrosion occurs due to customer miss-handling, or if the customer applies materials such as Chlorine (CI),
Sulfur (S) to the display, the responsibility is placed the customer.
11.3
Static Charge Precaution
The LCD module uses CMOS LSI drivers, so we recommend that you:
Connect any unused input terminal to VDD or VSS
Do not input any signals before power is turned on
Ground your body, work/assembly areas, and assembly equipment to protect against static electricity.
11.4
Packing
The module employs LCD elements and must be treated as such.
Avoid intense shock and falls from a height.
To prevent modules from degradation, do not operate or store them exposed direct to sunshine or high
temperature/humidity
11.5
Precautions during Operation
It is an indispensable condition to drive the LCD module within the specified voltage limits. Applying
voltage higher than the limit will reduce the life span of the LCD.
Using direct drive current should be avoided, as it will induce an electrochemical reaction causing
undesirable deterioration.
The LCD’s response time will be delayed when operating at a temperature lower than the suggested
operating range. When operating at a temperature higher than the suggested range, the LCD will be
noticeably darker. The display will return to normal when it is brought back to the specified operation
temperature.
If the display area is pushed hard during operation, some font may be abnormally drawn but the LCD will
return to normal after it is reset.
Slight dew depositing on terminals can cause an electro-chemical reaction, damaging traces and resulting
in an open circuit.
Usage under the maximum operating temperature, 50%Rh or less is required
