Note 1: Definition of viewing angle range 

Fig. 11.1. Definition of viewing angle 

Note 2: Test equipment setup: 

After stabilizing and leaving the panel alone at a driven temperature for 10 minutes, the measurement should be executed. Measurement should be executed in a stable, windless, and dark room. Optical specifications are measured by Topcon BM-7orBM-5 luminance meter 1.0° field of view at a distance of 50cm and normal direction.

Note 3: Definition of Response time: 

The response time is defined as the LCD optical switching time interval between “White” state and “Black” state. Rise time, Tr, is the time between photo detector output intensity changed from 90%to 10%. And fall time, Tf, is the time between photo detector output intensity changed from 10%to 90%

Note 4: Definition of contrast ratio: 

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 13 of 16 

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 

Fig 11.3. Definition of uniformity 

Note 6: Definition of color chromaticity (CIE 1931) Color coordinates measured at the center point of LCD 

Note 7: Measured at the center area of the panel when all the input terminals of LCD panel are electrically opened.
