PMCA User’s Manual Hardware Setup

To setup the LCD, you need the component below:

1. A panel with LVDS interfaces.

2. An inverter for panel’s backlight power.

3. A LCD cable and an inverter cable.

For the cables, please follow the pin assignment of the connector to make a cable, because every panel has its own pin assignment, so we do not provide a standard cable; please find a local cable manufacture to make cables.

LCD Installation Guide:

2. Please check the datasheet of the panel to see the voltage of the panel, and set the jumper JVLCD to +5V or +3.3V.

3. You would need a LVDS type cable.
