TFT COLOR LCD MODULE
NL8060BC29-01
29 cm (11.3 type), 800
×
600 pixels, 262144 colors,
incorporated one lamp/edge-light type backlight
DESCRIPTION
NL8060BC29-01 is a TFT (thin film transistor) active matrix color liquid crystal display (LCD) module comprising
amorphous silicon TFT attached to each signal electrode, a driving circuit, and a backlight.
The 29 cm diagonal display area contains 800
×
600 pixels and can display 262144 color simultaneously.
By utilizing one lamp/edge-light type backlight, a very thin profile and low power consumption have been achieved.
FEATURES
• 6-bit digital RGB signals
• 3.3 V operation (5.0 V available)
• Thin and light weight
• Low reflection
• Low power consumption
• Incorporated edge light type backlight (One lamp, Inverter-less)
• Data enable function
APPLICATIONS
• Personal computer (PC), word processor
• Display terminals for control system
• New media
• Monitors for process controller

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS
A TFT color LCD module comprises a TFT LCD panel, LSIs for driving liquid crystal, and the backlight. The
TFT LCD panel is composed of a TFT array glass substrate superimposed on a color filter glass substrate with
liquid crystal filled in the narrow gap between two substrates. The backlight apparatus is located on the backside
of the LCD panel.
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) data signals are sent to LCD panel drivers after modulation into suitable forms for
active matrix addressing through signal processor.
Each of the liquid crystal cells acts as an electro-optical switch that controls the light transmission from the
backlight by a signal applied to a signal electrode through the TFT switch.
