（1）Application
This specification literature applies to color TFT-LCD module , LQ038Q5DR01.

（2）Summary and Features

･This module is a color active matrix LCD module incorporating amorphous silicon TFT ( Thin Film
Transistor ).
･It is composed of a color TFT-LCD panel, driver ICs, control-PWB, FPC, frame, front shielding case,
back-light unit.
･Graphics and texts can be displayed on a 320×3×240 dots panel with 262,144 colors by supplying.
DC/AC inverter isn’t composed.
･The 3.8 screen produces a high resolution image that is composed of 76,800 pixel elements in a stripe
arrangement.
･Wide viewing angle technology is employed. ( The most suitable viewing angle is in the 6 o'clock
direction.)
･By adopting an active matrix drive, a picture with high contrast is realized.
･Through the use of TN-normally white mode, an image with highly natural color image is realized.
･It is used the Low-reflection (LR) and an antiglare (AG) surface polarization plate.
･An inverted video display in the vertical and horizontal directions is possible.

The panel shall not be broken ,when 19N is pressed on the center of the panel by a smooth
sphere having 15 mm diameter.
Caution: In spite of very soft toughness, if, in the long-term, add pressure on the active area, it
is possible to occur the functional damage.

（11）Display quality
The display quality of the color TFT-LCD module shall be in compliance with the Incoming
Inspection Standards for TFT-LCD.

（12）Handling instructions
12-1）Mounting of module
The TFT-LCD module is designed to be mounted on equipment using the mounting tabs in the
four corners of the module at the rear side.
On mounting the module, as the M2.6 tapping screw fastening torque is 0.3 through 0.5N･m is
recommended, be sure to fix the module on the same plane, taking care not to wrap or twist the
module.
Don't reach the pressure of touch-switches of the set side to a module directly, because images
may be disturbed.
Please power off the module when you connect the input/output connector.
Please connect the metallic shielding cases of the module and the ground pattern of the inverter
circuit surely. If that connection is not perfect, there may be a possibility that the following
problems happen.
a). The noise from the backlight unit will increase.
b). The output from inverter circuit will be unstable. Then, there may be a possibility that
some problems happen.
c). In some cases, a part of module will heat.
 LCY00044−13
12-2）Precautions in mounting
Polarizer which is made of soft material and susceptible to flaw must be handled carefully.
Protective film (Laminator) is applied on the surface to protect it against scratches and dirties.
It is recommended to peel off the laminator immediately before the use, taking care of static
electricity.
Precautions in peeling off the laminator

A) Working environment
When the laminator is peeled off, static electricity may cause dust to stick to the polarizer
surface. To avoid this, the following working environment is desirable.
a) Floor: Conductive treatment of 1MΩ or more on the tile
(conductive mat or conductive paint on the tile)
b) Clean room free form dust and with an adhesive mat on the doorway
c) Advisable humidity:50%∼70% Advisable temperature:15℃∼27℃
d) Workers shall wear conductive shoes, conductive work clothes, conductive gloves and an
earth band.

B) Working procedures
a) Direct the wind of discharging blower somewhat downward to ensure that module is blown
sufficiently. Keep the distance between module and discharging blower within 20 cm.
b) Attach adhesive tape to the laminator part near discharging blower so as to protect
polarizer against flaw.
c) Peel off laminator, pulling adhesive tape slowly to your side taking 5 or more second.
d)On peeling off the laminator, pass the module to the next work process to prevent the
module to get dust.
e) Method of removing dust from polarizer
･ Blow off dust with N2 blower for which static electricity preventive measure has been taken.
･ Since polarizer is vulnerable, wiping should be avoided.

less than 20cm

backlight cable

But when the panel has stain or grease, we recommend to use adhesive tape to softly remove
them from the panel.
When metal part of the TFT-LCD module (shielding lid and rear case) is soiled, wipe it with soft
dry cloth. For stubborn dirties, wipe the part, breathing on it. Wipe off water drop or finger grease
immediately. Long contact with water may cause discoloration or spots. TFT-LCD module uses
glass which breaks or cracks easily if dropped or bumped on hard surface. Handle with care. Since
CMOS LSI is used in this module, take care of static electricity and earth your body when handling.

12-3）Precautions in adjusting module

Adjusting volumes on the rear face of the module have been set optimally before shipment.
Therefore, do not change any adjusted values. If adjusted values are changed, the specifications
described here may not be satisfied.

12-4）Caution of product design

The LCD module shall be protected against water salt-water by the waterproof cover.
Please take measures to interferential radiation from module, to do not interfere surrounding
appliances.

12-5）Others
Do not expose the module to direct sunlight or intensive ultraviolet rays for many hours; liquid
crystal is deteriorated by ultraviolet rays. Store the module at a temperature near the room
temperature. At lower than the rated storage temperature, liquid crystal solidifies, causing the
panel to be damaged. At higher than the rated storage temperature, liquid crystal turns into
isotropic liquid and may not recover. The voltage of beginning electric discharge may over the
normal voltage because of leakage current from approach conductor by to draw lump read lead line
around. If LCD panel breaks, there may be a possibility that the liquid crystal escapes from the
panel. Since the liquid crystal is injurious, do not put it into the eyes or mouth. When liquid
crystal sticks to hands, feet or clothes, wash it out immediately with soap. Observe all other
precautionary requirements in handling general electronic components.

countermeasures against electrostatic charges, such as
earth, etc.

（14）Reliability test
Reliability test conditions for the TFT-LCD module are shown in Table 14.
 LCY00044−15
（15）Others
Adjusting volume have been set optimally before shipment, so do not change any adjusted value.
If adjusted value is changed, the specification may not be satisfied.
Disassembling the module can cause permanent damage and should be strictly avoided.
Please be careful since image retention may occur when a fixed pattern is displayed for a long time.
