1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 Product Overview

The LS140I01-E-V1 is a color active matrix TFT LCD module using amorphous silicon (a-Si) TFTs as active switching devices. This module has a 14.09-inch diagonally measured active area with 4K1K resolutions (3840 horizontal by 1100 vertical pixel array). Each pixel is divided into RED, GREEN, BLUE dots which are arranged in a vertical stripe. This module can display 16.7M (8-bit) colors with a color gamut of 72% NTSC. The TFT-LCD panel used for this module is a low reflection and higher color type. Therefore, this module is specifically designed and suitable for Notebook Touch Bar applications. The LED driver for backlight driving is built into this model.

1.2 Module Construction

The module type is specified as COG+FPC+B/L:

  • COG (Chip-On-Glass): The driver IC is mounted directly on the LCD glass substrate.
  • FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit): Provides the electrical interface.
  • B/L (Backlight): An integrated LED backlight unit.

9. POWER SEQUENCE

To prevent latch-up or DC operation, the power on/off sequence must be followed as shown in Figure 18.

Critical Notes:

  1. When V<sub>DD</sub> is 0V, keep input signals low or high impedance.
  2. Do not keep interface signal high impedance when power is on. Backlight must be turned on after power for logic and interface signals are valid.

Specific Logic Power Ramp (T11):

  • T11 = T20 + T21 + T22
  • T20 = 3.3V
  • T21 = 1.4V
  • T22 = 0.33V

10. ELECTRO-OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS

10.1 Measurement Conditions

Measured in a dark room (≤1 lux) at 25±2°C, using a photo detector (PR730) at a distance of 50cm from the LCD surface with viewing angles θ and Φ equal to 0°. The backlight operates for 30 minutes prior to measurement. V<sub>DD</sub> = 3.3±0.3V.
