If the display panel breaks, be careful not to get the residues in your mouth or in your eyes.

•

If the residues touch your skin or clothes, wash it off using soap and water.

8.2

HANDLING

•

The display is plate glass; do not hit or crush it.

•

The polarizer of the display is very fragile; handle it very carefully.

•

Do not soil or damage the display terminals.

•

Keep the display surface clean. Do not touch it with your skin.

•

Display module is ESD sensitive, to be handled with usual ESD precautions.

8.3

MOUNTING AND DESIGN

•

If any force is applied to the polarizer, bubbles or separation may occur.

•

Leave a gap so that the display, excluding the fixing portion, does not touch other components.

•

Make a window smaller than the viewing area.

•

To protect the display from external pressure, place a transparent plate (acrylic or glass) over the

display surface having a small gap.

•

Avoid condensation, otherwise the transparent electrodes may break.

8.4

STORAGE

•

For long-time storage, keep in a dark place at 25°C

± 10°C, 65% RH maximum.

•

Do not store the display near organic solvents or corrosive gases.

8.5

CLEANING

•

Do not wipe the polarizing plate with a dry cloth, as it may scratch the surface.

•

Wipe the module gently with a soft cloth soaked with a perfluorine-hexane or iso-propanol.

•

Do not use ketonic solvents (ketone and acetone) or aromatic solvents (toluene and xylene), as

they may damage the plastic cover plate.
