G173HW01 V0 Advantages
Next, we will focus on the features and advantages of the G173HW01 V0 display. Through analyzing its core functions, performance, and strengths, readers can better get the value of this display module and use it as a reference for selection and application.
Integral WLED Backlight System
Equipped with an integrated white LED backlight, it is energy-efficient and has a long lifespan (≥50,000 hours), without needing an extra backlight module.
Built-in LED Driver
The built-in LED driver simplifies the design and improves stability.
High Durability
Supports an operating temperature of 0~70°C, a storage temperature of -20~70°C, and a maximum vibration level of 1.5G (14.7 m/s²), making it suitable for industrial control environments.
Mirror Screen
The surface has a mirror finish (0% Haze) with a hardness of 3H, giving it a premium look and wear resistance.
Strong Interface Compatibility
Supports a 30-pin LVDS interface, offering good compatibility and easy integration into various industrial control systems.
Functional Block Diagram of G173HW01 V0
The following diagram shows the functional block of the G173HW01 V0 TFT-LCD Module. It shows the main modules and signal flow of the TFT-LCD display system.
The image data is sent through the LVDS interface and transferred via the LVDS connector to the LVDS receiver inside the Tcon module. The Timing Controller (Tcon) manages the display timing, while the RSDS transmitter sends the processed signals to the driver circuits of the TFT-LCD panel to control the display of 1920*(3)*1080 resolution pixels.
Power, image quality, and backlight control modules also work together. The DC/DC converter provides different DC voltages for each part of the system. Gamma correction adjusts the grayscale curve to make brightness and color more accurate. For the backlight, the LED driver, LED connector, and LED BL connector drive the LED light bar. The LED PWM (pulse width modulation) signal allows brightness adjustment for dynamic backlight control.
In addition, the X-Driver IC (horizontal driver) and Y-Driver IC (vertical driver) of the TFT-LCD panel work together. After receiving signals from the Tcon, they drive the related pixels and complete the final image display.
G173HW01 V0 Applications and Use Cases
Here we will focus on the main application areas and real use cases of the G173HW01 V0 display panel. As a high-resolution, wide-view, and stable-performance industrial display module, it can keep excellent display quality and reliability in many environments. In this part, we can more clearly see how this display performs in different industries.
1. Industrial Control Terminals
The G173HW01 V0 display is an excellent choice for industrial control systems. It ihas a good size and the brightness is high enough to handle strong light in a factory or workshop. Its wide temperature range ensures it works stably even in high heat. Also, it uses an LVDS interface. This provides a stable signal. It is often used for equipment control panels and quality control terminals on production lines.
l Check SMT progress in real time
l Shows component coordinates and soldering parameters
l View process guides and fault messages together without switching pages
2. Medical Diagnostic Equipment
This display panel is suitable for portable diagnostic devices in hospitals. It can be built into ultrasound or ECG (electrocardiogram) systems. The Full HD resolution is enough for basic imaging and showing physiological data. In addition, the WLED backlight helps to lower power use and extend battery life.
l Uses portable ECG monitors equipped with this screen
l Read heart rate curves and view comparison data
3. Security Monitoring Terminals
For security systems, this LCD screen can be built directly into the control panel without an extra monitor. It can clearly show clothing or license plates, keep the video smooth and stable, and work reliably even in high temperatures.
l Used in local monitoring station
l Shows different camera feeds at once with clear color and detail
l LVDS transmission avoids lag or screen noise during operation
Handling and Safety Precautions
1. Handle the TFT-LCD module carefully to avoid scratching or damaging the front polarizer, as it is easily affected by external force or sharp objects. The panel is made of glass, so avoid dropping or bumping it on hard surfaces.
2. Always turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the input connector. Do not twist, bend, or press the module or its back reflector, as this may cause permanent damage.
3. Prevent ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) by grounding yourself before handling the module. Do not open or modify the module assembly.
4. Keep the surface clean. Remove water drops immediately to prevent stains or discoloration. For cleaning, use soft cloth or absorbent cotton.
5. When re-inserting the module into its container, press gently at the far ends of the LED light bar, not the center. Avoid rotating or tilting the signal connector during insertion or removal.
6. Ensure the power source meets Limited Power Source requirements (IEC60950 or UL1950).
7. Extreme temperatures may affect brightness, response time, and lamp voltage. Continuous use in low temperature can shorten lamp life and reduce luminance.
8. Continuous display of a fixed image may cause image sticking. Use a screen saver or change the displayed content periodically.
9. Specifications apply when the module is used in landscape orientation.
