Reset Timing:** **Figure 2 Reset Timing** VDDI=1.65 to 3.6V, VDD=2.4 to 3.6V, AGND=DGND=0V, Ta=25 ℃ ## Notes: 1. The reset cancel includes also required time for loading ID bytes, VCOM setting and other settings from NVM (or similar device) to registers. This loading is done every time when there is HW reset cancel time (tRT) within 5 ms after a rising edge of RESX. 2. Spike due to an electrostatic discharge on RESXline does not cause irregular system reset according to the table below: 3. During the Resetting period, the display will be blanked (The display is entering blanking sequence, which maximum time is 120 ms, when Reset Starts in Sleep Out –mode. The display remains the blank state in Sleep In –mode.) and then return to Default condition for Hardware Reset. 4. Spike Rejection also applies during a valid reset pulse as shown below: Page 8 of 12 ## **Optical Characteristics** |**Item**|**Item**|**Symbol**

Measurement should be executed in a stable, windless, and dark room. Optical specifications are measured by Topcon BM-7 or BM-5 luminance meter 1.0Β° field of view at a distance of 50cm and normal direction. Page 9 of 12 Fig. 10.2. Optical measurement system setup ## Note 3: Definition of Response time: The response time is defined as the LCD optical switching time interval between β€œWhite” state and β€œBlack” state. Rise time, Tr, is the time between photo detector output intensity changed from 90%to 10%.

The contrast ratio is defined as the following expression. Luminance measured when LCD on the "White" state Contrast ratio (CR) = Luminance measured when LCD on the "Black" state Page 10 of 12 ## Note 5: Definition of Luminance Uniformity Active area is divided into 9 measuring areas (reference the picture in below). Every measuring point is placed at the center of each measuring area. Luminance Uniformity (U) = Lmin/Lmax x100% L = Active area length W = Active area width **==> picture [273 x 156] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
