NOTES:
1. It is recommended that the product be designed so
that the EL back light is not left on continuously.
This will greatly extend the lifo of the back light ele-
ment.
2. Usable lifetime of the back light is reached when
the light output reaches 50% of the original bright-
ness.

POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING (Graphics Modules Only)
The power supply voltages should be sequenced according to the following timing diagram. This will insure that the
internal electronics have time to begin operation before the negative voltage is applied. The sequence of events
should be as follows: Apply V
DD
first. When V
DD
is stable at 5v, apply the input signals and then apply V
L
/V
EE
. The
shut down sequence is exactly the opposite.
Failure to follow this procedure may result in permanent damage to
the LCD fluid or to the CMOS electronics on the module.
