8543 LCD Display - General information

Applicable to: World-Wide

Service Information:
This tip informs the servicer of various operational and design questions that customers may have about the 8543 LCD advanced technology STN (Super Twisted Nematic) display.
LCD and CRT displays have different viewing characteristics. The viewing angle of the LCD displays is very directional in comparison to the display. As the user moves from the center of the display to either side, the display will appear to fade and change color. This is a normal condition. The LCD is designed for a greater vertical range of orientation rather than horizontal. This provides a measure of viewing privacy.

Some "shadowing" (or bleeding) is normal on all LCD displays. These characteristics appear as vertical or horizontal lines or bars extending from the item depicted on the LCD to the edges of LCD screen. In most cases this can be eliminated with the following adjustments:
1. Adjust the brightness and contrast slides
2. Change the screen mode using the reference diskette or by using operating system commands. The reference diskette will allow four different modes; mono, mono reversed, color, and color reversed.

Some programs allow the user the option to customize screen colors, these options should be used to change the screen image to the user's preference.
