1-1. Description. The DLP-37D1(37 inch ) is a color active matrix TFT(Thin Film Transistor) LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) that uses amorphous silicon TFT as a switching devices. This model is composed of a TFT LCD panel, a driver circuit and a back light system. The resolution of a 37” contains 1366 x 768 pixels and can display up to 16.7 million colors with wide viewing angle of 170° or higher in all directions.
1-3. STRUCTURE AND PRINCIPLE OPERATION OF LCD. Basics of LCD Operation A cross sectional view of a liquid crystal display is shown below in Figure 1. As can be seen in the diagram, the display is simply two pieces of extremely flat glass, over coated with a number of chemical layers, and filled with liquid crystal fluid.

Photoresist is then put on top of the ITO coating and a photolithographic process is used to image the pattern. The exposed patterns are then developed and the glass is sent through an acid bath where the excess ITO is removed, similar to the way a PC board is made. The remaining photoresist is then stripped away and the patterned segment and common plane electrodes remain on the glass.

II. Operation of a liquid crystal display. The liquid crystal molecules are long and thin as shown in Figure 2 on the right. On the bottom glass substrate, the PI layer has been rubbed from back to front, and the molecules are aligned in that direction. Remember, the direction of this orientation determines the viewing angle of the part.

When a drive signal is applied to the cell electrodes an electric field is set up across the cell. The liquid crystal molecules will "stand up" to align themselves in the direction of the electric field. When the molecules "stand up" the helical structure is disrupted, and the incoming linearly polarized light does not "twist"...

5. Trouble Shooting. This can eliminate misjudgments as defects due to user’s improper usage, by providing possible defective symptoms, checking the causes of defects, and repair instructions. Below images shows a simple drawing of the LCD(fig.1). Following description is based on fig.1. Fig .1 Defect description will be categorized as follows.
5-1. Power Failure. < SYMPTOM > 1. LED is not lit at the Standby mode (If Power is working properly, LED color should be Red at Standby mode.). 2. The set’s Power & LED does not turn on (If Power is working properly, LED color should be Blue at Operation mode.). 3.
5-3. Picture Failure. < SYMPTOM > 1. Nothing appears on screen but sound is working. 2. Brightness, Black Line or Black square. 3. ‘No Signal’ OSD is displayed on screen, or Picture is poor. Check the input source, cable connection and output setting value for A/V device(DVD player, VCR, Settop Box…) before testing as described below. Video mode is AUTO.
5-4. Sound Failure. < SYMPTOM > 1. There is no Sound in all modes (Picture appears but there is no sound in all modes.). 2. There is no Sound in a certain mode (But sound is working in other mode.) or sound quality is poor. 3.
