IEC 60747-5:1992

Describes the essential ratings and characteristics of LCD cells and passive matrix monochrome liquid crystal display modules. It does not apply to active matrix LCD cells nor to multicolour cells.

Gives the essential ratings and characteristics of the following categories or subcategories of optoelectronic devices which are not intended to be used in the field of fibre optic systems or subsystems: Semiconductor photoemitters, semiconductor photoelectric detectors, semiconductor photosensitive devices, and semiconductor devices utilizing the optical radiation for internal operation.

Lists test methods applicable to liquid crystal display devices. Takes into account, wherever possible, the environmental test methods outlined in IEC 60068. Also includes visual inspection for both liquid crystal display cells and modules. Establishes uniform preferred test methods with preferred values for stress levels for judging the environmental properties of liquid crystal display devices.

Describes the measuring methods applicable to the optoelectronic devices which are not intended to be used in the fibre optic systems or subsystems.

Gives details of the quality assessment procedures, inspection requirements, screening sequences, sampling requirements and test and measurement procedures required for the assessment of liquid crystal display modules. This standard is restricted to transmissive liquid crystal display modules using either segment, passive or active matrix and achromatic or colour type LCDs.
