Notes (from document):

Note 1: Definition of Response Time
The response time is defined as the LCD optical switching time interval between "White" state and "Black" state. Rise time (TON) is the time between photo detector output intensity changed from 90% to 10%. And fall time (TOFF) is the time between photo detector output intensity changed from 10% to 90%.

Note 2: Definition of Contrast Ratio
Contrast ratio (CR) is defined mathematically by the following formula:
Contrast Ratio = Luminance measured when LCD on the "White" state / Luminance measured when LCD on the "Black" state

Note 3: Definition of Viewing Angle
Viewing angle is the angle at which the contrast ratio is greater than 10. Angles are determined for the horizontal or x axis and the vertical or y axis with respect to the z axis which is normal to the LCD surface.

4. Application Guidelines & Critical Notes

Intended Use

  • Industrial control panels
  • IoT display nodes
  • Miniature handheld instruments
  • Any application requiring a compact display with 8080 parallel interface

Critical Design Considerations

  1. 8080 Series Parallel Interface:

    • This module uses an 8080 Series Parallel 9/8-bit Interface for communication.
    • The host MCU must have a parallel interface to drive the display.
    • The document provides detailed timing characteristics for the 8080 interface, including setup times, hold times, and cycle times.
  2. Power Supply:

    • Provide stable VCC (2.6V to 3.3V, 2.8V typical) for the main logic (connected to Pin 43).
    • Provide stable IOVCC (1.65V to 3.3V, 2.8V typical) for the I/O interface (connected to Pin 44).
    • The backlight requires a constant-current LED driver connected to LEDA (Anode) and LEDK (Cathode), set to 80 mA at approximately 2.8~3.2V.
  3. Mechanical Integration:

    • Module Outline: 42.72mm (H) × 60.26mm (V) × 2.3mm (D).
    • Active Area: 36.72mm × 48.96mm.
    • FPC: The module uses a 45-pin FPC.
    • Enclosure Design: The document provides specific recommendations for enclosure window openings relative to the LCD AA (Active Area):
      • Housing visible area: 0.3mm smaller per side than VAmds.
      • Housing foam window: 0.6mm larger per side than VAmds.
      • TP edge cannot contact metal conductors.
  4. Viewing Angle Characteristics:
    This is a TN panel:

    • Top (12 o'clock): 45° (Typ)
    • Bottom (6 o'clock): 20° (Typ)
    • Left (9 o'clock): 45° (Typ)
    • Right (3 o'clock): 45° (Typ)

    The module provides adequate viewing angles for standard applications, with the best viewing direction at 6 o'clock.

  5. Optical Performance:

    • Response Time: 30ms (Typ) – suitable for most GUI applications.
    • Contrast Ratio: 250 (Typ) – adequate for indoor use.
    • Transmittance: 5.0% (Typ).
    • White Chromaticity (CIE1931): Wx = 0.308, Wy = 0.325 (Typical).
  6. Temperature Limits:

    • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C.
    • Storage Temperature: -30°C to +80°C.

Handling & Compliance

  • The module is ROHS compliant.
  • Observe standard ESD precautions during handling and assembly.
  • The module contains fragile glass and a 45-pin FPC – handle with care.
  • Avoid bending the FPC sharply, especially near the connector interface.
  • The module has a total thickness of 2.3mm – be careful when handling to avoid flexing.
