Cleaning

As with any glass or coated surface, care should be taken to minimize scratching. Clean the display glass with mild, water-based detergents only. Apply the cleaner sparingly to a soft cloth, then wipe the display. Disposable cleaning cloths are recommended to minimize the risk of inadvertently scratching the display with particles embedded in a re-used cloth.

The TAB (tape-automated bonding) leads between the electronics and the display glass are very sensitive to handling. When cleaning the edges of the display glass, special care should be taken not to damage the leads.

Cable Length

Do not exceed the maximum cable length of 600 mm (24 in.). Longer cables may cause data transfer problems between the data transmitted and the display input connector. Excessive cable lengths can pick up unwanted EMI. There are third party products which allow this maximum cable length to be exceeded. Contact Planar Application Engineering for more information.

Avoiding Burn-In

As with other light emitting displays, displaying fixed patterns on the screen can cause burn-in, where luminance variations can be noticed. Use a screen saver or image inversion to avoid causing burn-in on the display.
