Note (3) The lamp frequency may generate interference with horizontal synchronous frequency from the display, and this may cause line flow on the display. In order to avoid interference, the lamp frequency should be detached from the horizontal synchronous frequency and its harmonics as far as possible.
Note (4) P L = I L×V L
Note (5) The lifetime of lamp is defined as the time when it continues to operate under the conditions at Ta = 25 ±2 o C and I L =7.0mA RMS until one of the following events occurs:
(a) When the brightness becomes ≦50% of its original value.
(b) When the effective ignition length becomes ≦ 80% of its original value. (Effective ignition
length is defined as an area that the brightness is less than 70% compared to the center point.) Note (6) The waveform of the voltage output of inverter must be area-symmetric and the design of the inverter must have specifications for the modularized lamp. The performance of the Backlight, such as lifetime or brightness, is greatly influenced by the characteristics of the DC-AC inverter for the lamp. All the parameters of an inverter should be carefully designed to avoid generating too much current leakage from high voltage output of the inverter. When designing or ordering the inverter please make sure that a poor lighting caused by the mismatch of the Backlight and the inverter (miss-lighting, flicker, etc.) never occurs. If the above situation is confirmed, the module should be operated in the same manners when it is installed in your instrument.

5.3 COLOR DATA INPUT ASSIGNMENT
The brightness of each primary color (red, green and blue) is based on the 8-bit gray scale data input for
the color. The higher the binary input the brighter the color. The table below provides the assignment of
