1. General Description
The LP171WP4 is a Color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display with an integral Cold Cathode Fluorescent
Lamp (CCFL) backlight system. The matrix employs a-Si Thin Film Transistor as the active element. It is a
transmissive type display operating in the normally white mode. This TFT-LCD has 17.1 inches diagonally
measured active display area with WXGA+ resolution(900 vertical by 1440 horizontal pixel array). Each
pixel is divided into Red, Green and Blue sub-pixels or dots which are arranged in vertical stripes. Gray
scale or the brightness of the sub-pixel color is determined with a 6-bit gray scale signal for each dot, thus,
presenting a palette of more than 262,144 colors.
The LP171WP4 has been designed to apply the interface method that enables low power, high speed, low
EMI. The LP171WP4 is intended to support applications where thin thickness, low power are critical factors
and graphic displays are important. In combination with the vertical arrangement of the sub-pixels, the
LP171WP4 characteristics provide an excellent flat display for office automation products such as Notebook
PC.

3. Electrical Specifications
Note)
1. The specified current and power consumption are under the Vcc = 3.3V , 25℃, fv = 60Hz condition
whereas Mosaic pattern is displayed and fv is the frame frequency. The input voltage must be kept in
the Vcc specification without the Vcc drop when the system is started or the load is changed, and so on.
2. This impedance value is needed to proper display and measured form LVDS Tx to the mating connector.
3. The variance of the voltage is ± 10%.
4. The typical operating current is for the typical surface luminance (LWH) in optical characteristics.
5. Define the brightness of the lamp after being lighted for 5 minutes as 100%, Ts is the time required for
the brightness of the center of the lamp to be not less than 95%.
6. The life time is determined as the time at which brightness of lamp is 50% compare to that of initial value
at the typical lamp current.
7. The output of the inverter must have symmetrical(negative and positive) voltage waveform and
symmetrical current waveform.(Asymmetrical ratio is less than 10%) Please do not use the inverter
which has asymmetrical voltage and asymmetrical current and spike wave.
Lamp frequency may produce interface with horizontal synchronous frequency and as a result this may
cause beat on the display. Therefore lamp frequency shall be as away possible from the
horizontal synchronous frequency and from its harmonics in order to prevent interference.
8. The voltage above VS should be applied to the lamps for more than 1 second for start-up. Otherwise, the
lamps may not be turned on. The used lamp current is the lamp typical current.
9. The lamp power consumption shown above does not include loss of external inverter.
The applied lamp current is a typical one.
* Asymmetry rate:
Ip
| I p – I –p | / Irms * 100%
* Distortion rate
I -p
I p (or I –p) / Irms
The backlight interface connector is a model BHSR-02VS-1, manufactured by JST. The mating connector
part number is SM02B-BHSS-1 or equivalent.

1. Please avoid floating state of interface signal at invalid period.
2. When the interface signal is invalid, be sure to pull down the power supply for LCD VCC to 0V.
3. Lamp power must be turn on after power supply for LCD and interface signal are valid.
4. Optical Specification
Optical characteristics are determined after the unit has been ‘ON’ and stable for approximately 30 minutes in
a dark environment at 25°C. The values specified are at an approximate distance 50cm from the LCD surface
at a viewing angle of Φ and Θ equal to 0°.
FIG. 1 presents additional information concerning the measurement equipment and method.
50cm
Note)
1. Contrast Ratio(CR) is defined mathematically as
Surface Luminance with all white pixels
Contrast Ratio =
Surface Luminance with all black pixels
2. Surface luminance is the average of 5 point across the LCD surface 50cm from the surface with
all pixels displaying white. For more information see FIG 2.
3. Luminance uniformity is measured for 13 point For more information see FIG 2.
δ WHITE = Maximum(LN1,LN2, ….. LN13) ÷ Minimum(LN1,LN2, ….. LN13)
4. Response time is the time required for the display to transition from white to black (rise time, TrR) and
from black to white(Decay Time, TrD). For additional information see FIG 3.
5. Viewing angle is the angle at which the contrast ratio is greater than 10. The angles are determined
for the horizontal or x axis and the vertical or y axis with respect to the z axis which is normal to the
LCD surface. For more information see FIG 4.

9. PRECAUTIONS
Please pay attention to the followings when you use this TFT LCD module.
(2) Response time depends on the temperature.(In lower temperature, it becomes longer.)
(3) Brightness depends on the temperature. (In lower temperature, it becomes lower.)
And in lower temperature, response time(required time that brightness is stable after turned on) becomes
longer.
(4) Be careful for condensation at sudden temperature change. Condensation makes damage to polarizer or
electrical contacted parts. And after fading condensation, smear or spot will occur.
(5) When fixed patterns are displayed for a long time, remnant image is likely to occur.
(6) Module has high frequency circuits. Sufficient suppression to the electromagnetic interference shall be
done by system manufacturers. Grounding and shielding methods may be important to minimized the
interference.
9-5. STORAGE
When storing modules as spares for a long time, the following precautions are necessary.
(1) Store them in a dark place. Do not expose the module to sunlight or fluorescent light. Keep the
temperature between 5°C and 35°C at normal humidity.
(2) The polarizer surface should not come in contact with any other object.
It is recommended that they be stored in the container in which they were shipped.
