PWS-1409/1419 User’s Manual Appendix B: LCD VIDEO Controller B-1 Introduction The LCD video controller subassembly is an “in-monitor” design build around a high performance ASIC technology that enable the display of analog VGA signals on a flat panel LCD display. The LCD video board provides all the electronic necessary to drive a TFT flat panel display from VGA (640x480) up to (1280x1024) source.
PWS-1409/1419 User’s Manual The light source for most flat panel displays is a cold cathode fluorescent backlight. These backlights run on high AC voltage provided by an inverter that converts the supplied DC power to AC and steps its voltage up for start-up. Once the backlight is started, the inverter drops the voltage down to its operating level.
