Note 1 :Contrast ratio is definded as follows. (CR = LON / LOFF) LON : Luminance of the ON segments LOFF: Luminance of the OFF segments Measuring Spot:0.9mmφ Note 2 :The time that the luminance level reaches 90% of the saturation level from 0% when ON signal is applied. Note 3 :The time that the luminance level reaches 10% of the saturation level from 100% when OFF signal is applied. Note 4 :Definition of Driving Voltage VOD Assuming that the typical driving waveforms shown below are applied to the LCD Panel at 1/A Duty - 1/B Bias (A: Duty Number, B: Bias Number). Driving voltage VOD is definded as the voltage VO-P when the contrast ratio (CR=LON / LOFF) is at its maximum.
