Note:
*1. Measurement
The data are measured after LEDs are turned on for 5 minutes. LCM
displays full white. The brightness is the average value of 9 measured
spots.
Measurement equipment PR-705 (Φ8mm)
Measuring condition:
- Measuring surroundings: Dark room.
- Measuring temperature: Ta=25 .
- Adjust operating voltage to get optimum contrast at the center of the display.
Measured value at the center point of LCD panel after more than 5 minutes while backlight turning on.

Bp (Max.) = Maximum brightness in 9 measured spots
Bp (Min.) = Minimum brightness in 9 measured spots.

*3. The definition of viewing angle:
Refer to the graph below marked by θ and Ф
*4. The definition of contrast ratio (Test LCM using PR-705):
Contrast Ratio(CR)=
Luminance When LCD is at “White” state
Luminance When LCD is at “Black” state
(Contrast Ratio is measured in optimum common electrode voltage)
*5. Definition of Response time.(Test LCD using DMS501):
The output signals of photo detector are measured when the input signals are changed
from “black” to “white”(falling time) and from “white” to “black”(rising time), respectively.
The response time is defined as the time interval between the 10% and 90% of
amplitudes. Refer to figure as below.
