3.3 Optical & Electro-Optical Characteristics (Ta=25°C)

Notes (from document):

Note 1: Definition of Response Time
The response time is defined as the following figure and shall be measured by switching the input signal for "black" and "white". This definition is valid for a normally black display. For a normally white display the opposite definition applies.

• Tr (Rise Time): Time from 10% to 90% of optical response.
• Tf (Fall Time): Time from 90% to 10% of optical response.
• Tr + Tf = Total Response Time.

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.

Note 4: Backlight Circuit

• Drive condition: IF = 60mA, Vf = 3.2V

   • Provide stable IOVCC (1.65V to 3.3V, 1.8V typical) for the I/O interface.
   • The backlight requires a constant-current LED driver connected to A (Anode, Pin 1) and K (Cathode, Pin 2), set to 60 mA at approximately 3.2V.

3. Touch Panel Interface:

   • The module includes a dedicated TP interface (Pins 3-6) for an external capacitive touch panel.
