LCX021AM

Notes on Operation

(1) Lighting spectrum and intensity

Use only visible light with a wavelength

λ = 415 to 780nm as a light source. Light with a wavelength λ >

780nm (infrared light) will produce unwanted temperature rises. Light with a wavelength

λ < 415nm

(ultraviolet light) will produce irreversible changes in the display characteristics. To prevent this, be sure to

mount UV/IR cut filters between the LCX021AM and the light source as necessary depending on the light

source.

The lighting intensity should be 1 million lx or less, and the panel surface temperature should not exceed

55°C.

(2) Lighting optical system

Care should be taken for the following points concerning the optical system mounted on the LCX021AM.

1) Light reflected from the optical system to the panel should be 20,000 lx or less.

2) Particular care should be taken for the panel incident angle distribution when designing optical systems

for use with the LCX021AM.

3) The panel surface temperature distribution should not exceed 10°C.

4) Light should shine only on the effective display area within the LCD panel and not on other unnecessary

locations. Leakage light may produce unwanted temperature rises.
