1. General Description
LM171WX3-TLB1 is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display with an integral Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp(CCFL) backlight system. The matrix employs a-Si Thin Film Transistor as the active element. It is a
transmissive type display operating in the normally white mode. It has a 17.1 inch diagonally measured active
display area with WXGA+ resolution (1440 vertical by 900 horizontal pixel array) Each pixel is divided into Red,
Green and Blue sub-pixels or dots which are arranged in vertical stripes. Gray scale or the brightness of the
sub-pixel color is determined with a 8-bit gray scale signal for each dot, thus, presenting a palette of more than
16,7M colors with Advanced-FRC(Frame Rate Control). It has been designed to apply the interface method
that enables low power, high speed, low EMI. FPD Link or compatible must be used as a LVDS(Low Voltage
Differential Signaling) chip. It is intended to support applications where thin thickness, wide viewing angle, low
power are critical factors and graphic displays are important. In combination with the vertical arrangement of
the sub-pixels, the LM171WX3-TLB1 characteristics provide an excellent flat panel display for office
automation products such as monitors.

Note : The design of the inverter must have specifications for the lamp in LCD Assembly.
The performance of the Lamp in LCM, for example life time or brightness, is extremely influenced by
the characteristics of the DC-AC inverter. So all the parameters of an inverter should be carefully
designed so as not to produce too much leakage current from high-voltage output of the inverter.
When you design or order the inverter, please make sure unwanted lighting caused by the mismatch
of the lamp and the inverter (no lighting, flicker, etc) never occurs. When you confirm it, the LCD–
Assembly should be operated in the same condition as installed in you instrument.
Do not attach a conducting tape to lamp connecting wire.
If the lamp wire attach to a conducting tape, TFT-LCD Module has a low luminance and the inverter
has abnormal action. Because leakage current is occurred between lamp wire and conducting tape.
8. The output of the inverter must have symmetrical(negative and positive) voltage waveform and
symmetrical current waveform (Unsymmetrical ratio is less than 10%). Please do not use the inverter
which has unsymmetrical voltage and unsymmetrical current and spike wave.
Requirements for a system inverter design, which is intended to have a better display performance, a
better power efficiency and a more reliable lamp, are following.
It shall help increase the lamp lifetime and reduce leakage current.
a. The asymmetry rate of the inverter waveform should be less than 10%.
b. The distortion rate of the waveform should be within 2 10%.
* Inverter output waveform had better be more similar to ideal sine wave.
* Asymmetry rate:
Ip
| I p – I –p | / Irms x 100%
* Distortion rate
I -p
I p (or I –p) / Irms
9. The inverter which is combined with this LCM, is highly recommended to connect coupling(ballast)
condenser at the high voltage output side. When you use the inverter which has not coupling(ballast)
condenser, it may cause abnormal lamp lighting because of biased mercury as time goes.
10.In case of edgy type back light with over 4 parallel lamps, input current and voltage wave form should
be synchronized
Note: 1. All GND(ground) pins should be connected together and to Vss which should also be connected to
the LCD’s metal frame.
2. All VLCD (power input) pins should be connected together.
3. All NC pins should be separated from other signal or power.

Note: Hsync period and Hsync width-active should be even number times of tCLK. If the value is odd number
times of tCLK, display control signal can be asynchronous. In order to operate this LCM a Hsync,
Vsyn, and DE(data enable) signals should be used.

9. PRECAUTIONS
Please pay attention to the followings when you use this TFT LCD module.
9-5. STORAGE
When storing modules as spares for a long time, the following precautions are necessary.
(1) Store them in a dark place. Do not expose the module to sunlight or fluorescent light. Keep the
temperature between 5 C and 35 C at normal humidity.
(2) The polarizer surface should not come in contact with any other object.
It is recommended that they be stored in the container in which they were shipped.
