AN.No.G482C-870E 1, SPECIFICATIONS

1.1 General

The G482C is a thin liquid crystal display (LCD) module that consists of a full dot- matrix LCD panel and CMOS LSlIs. The panel features a wide viewing angle and high contrast. The full dot-matrix structure allows both graphics and character display. In addition, the display is clear and stable, with no image warping or position skew, because the display position is specified by the intersection of transparent electrodes in a matrix.

1.2 Features

+ Full dot-matrix structure with 480 dotsx128 dots + 1/128 duty + One-bit serial data x 2 ( right-half and left-half ) input - Two power supplies : Vpp= 5 V, Vic= -13 V ( for driving liquid crystal )

2.1 Liquid Crystal Driving Circuit

The drive waveform of the LCD panel is shown in Figure 2 on the next page. Since DC may damage the liquid crystal, the drive waveform polarity is reversed at alternate frames, and AC is applied between two frames. The signal controlling this is the liquid crystal drive waveform AC signal (M). The frame frequency is normally set to about 7045 Hz to prevent screen flicker. The G482C has a 1/128 duty cycle, and the common electrodes are selected within a frame by time division from electrode 1 to electrode 128. This is called line sequential scanning. The voltage level of the segment electrodes determines whether the dots at the intersection of the segment electrodes are selected or not, when the common electrode is selected. As shown in Table 1, there are six drive waveform voltage levels, Va to Vf. The voltage level is determined by the bias value. The voltage between the segment and common electrodes is thus applied to the liquid erystal. The selection waveform for SEGg-COMg and the non-selection waveform for SEG1]-COMj are shown in Figure 2. The size of the effective voltage of the waveform determines whether the liquid crystal under the selected dots is in the selection or non-selection state.

AN.No.G482C-870E (1) Common driver A common driver (CD) is a CMOS IC with 64 drive outputs. The G482C has two CDs, whose internal registers are connected each other. They operate as follows. Input one-frame timing signal (FLM) is taken into the internal shift register by the falling edge trigger of the one-common-line timing signal (CL1), and sequentially shifted. After 128-CL1 input, the next FLM is input and the same operation is repeated. As shown in Table 2, the common output is selected according to the shift register contents and the liquid crystal drive waveform AC signal (M) in the drive circuit, and the common drive waveform is formed. Table 2 [inicio conn | w [ cower | H pe { ow | L (2) Segment driver A segment driver (SD) is a CMOS IC with 80 drive outputs. It operates as follows. Input four-bit data is sequentially taken into the internal register by the falling edge trigger of the display data shift clock (CL2). The G482C has six SDs. SD1 to SD3 are for left-half sereen and SD4 to SD6 are for right-half sereen. SD has a chip enable function. In the case of left-half screen, after 80 bits of data are taken into SD1, the next data is automatically taken into SD2. 240 bits of data can be taken into three SDs. Data for right-half screen is taken into in the same way as data for left-half screen. The display data taken into internal register are latched by the falling edge trigger of CL1. As shown in the Table 3, the segment output is selected according to the display data and M in the drive circuit, and the segment drive waveform is formed. Table 3 [pinoyaow | mw | secon | H L -7-

AN.No.G482C-870E (3) Vopr control cireuit Display screen contrast and viewing angle are affected by changes in the liquid erystal driving voltage (Vopr). As shown in Figure 4, external VLC is supplied to the operational amplifier and Vopr (Va to Vf ) applied to the LCD panel is generated. : Vpp = 5V : O DD ° : Vss= OV i poco Roo : (Vato Vs) ! i 2, : oO VR Sq.---ie(- YO i i Operational amplifier 1 i incensed (CE BY R= 20kQ VR= 10kQ Figure 4 Also, display screen contrast and viewing angle are influenced by the ambient temperature.

AN.No.G482C-870E (4) Bias voltage generation circuit Six levels of voltage, Va to Vf, are applied to the common and segment drivers. The voltage is generated through operational amplifier by resistance-division from liquid crystal operating voltage (Vopr). Here, an operational amplifier is used as a voltage follower.

2.4 Interface Circuit

The G482C is controlled by the MPU circuit, whose interface is easily set up when the LCD controller is used. The LCD controller has basic functions such as receiving information related to the display from the MPU circuit, and sending display timing signals and display data to the LCD module, and other functions such as cursor display. The G482C must use LCD controllers conforming to the following conditions. © For a full dot-matrix LCD module © Where data is transferred to the LCD module in 2 one-bit serials © Where G482C display screen has 1/128 duty The following section gives examples of interfaces using the OKI MSM6255GSK and HITACHI HD61830B controllers. -12-

AN.No.G482C-870E 3. NOTES Safety + If the LCD panel breaks, be careful not to get the liquid crystal in your mouth. If the liquid crystal touches your skin or clothes, wash it off immediately using soap and plenty of water. Handling + Avoid static electricity as this can damage the CMOS LSI. + The LCD panel is made of plate glass; do not hit or press aginst it. + Do not remove the panel or frame from the module. + The polarizer on the display is very fragile; handle it very carefully. Mounting and Design + Mount the module in the specified installation sections and holes. + To protect the module from external pressure, put a plate of transparent material such as acrylic or glass over the display surface, frame, and polarizer. Leave a small gap between the transparent plate and the module. vw Example Small gap Transparent plate cS | a —-- 5 xX Screw + Design the system so that no input signal is given unless the power-supply voltage is applied. + Keep the module dry. Condensation can damage the transparent electrodes . -15-

AN.No.G482C-870E Storage + Store the module in a dark place where the temperature is 25°C +10°C and the humidity below 65% RH. + Do not store the module near organic solvents or corrosive gases. - Do not crush, shake, or jolt the module or its components. Cleaning + Do not wipe the polarizer with a dry cloth, as it may scratch the surface. + Wipe the module gently with a soft cloth soaked with a petroleum benzine. + Do not use ketonic solvents (ketone and acetone) or aromatic solvents (toluene and xylene), as they may damage the polarizer. - 16-
