2026/02/02

NL10276AC30-42C Overview

The NL10276AC30-42C is a 15.0’’ XGA industrial a-Si TFT-LCD display panel. It uses thin-film transistor liquid crystal technology and integrates a high-brightness LED backlight with a built-in driver circuit, making it suitable for a wide range of embedded systems and display terminal applications. With a 15.0-inch diagonal size and a classic 4:3 aspect ratio, the panel delivers stable image performance and meets industrial requirements for signal clarity and color consistency.

Compared with standard consumer displays, the NL10276AC30-42C offers higher brightness, with a typical luminance of around 600 cd/m² and a contrast ratio of 600:1. It supports 262K or 16.7M colors, depending on the input data bit depth. The module features a single-channel LVDS interface (6/8-bit) for easy integration with control systems, along with a typical response time of about 8 ms. With wide viewing angles of 80° in all directions and an LED backlight lifetime exceeding 70,000 hours, it is well suited for long-term stable operation in industrial equipment, control terminals, and monitoring displays.

NL10276AC30-42C Structure and Principle

Color LCD module NL10276AC30-42C is composed of the amorphous silicon thin film transistor liquid crystal display (a-Si TFT LCD) panel structure with driver LSIs for driving the TFT array and a backlight.

The a-Si TFT LCD panel structure injects liquid crystal material into a narrow gap between the TFT array glass substrate and a color-filter glass substrate.

Color (Red, Green, Blue) data signals from a host system (e.g., signal generator, etc.) are modulated into the best form for the active matrix system by a signal processing board, and sent to the driver LSIs, which drive the individual TFT arrays.

The TFT array as an electro-optical switch, regulates the amount of transmitted light from the backlight assembly when it is controlled by data signals. Color images are created by regulating the amount of transmitted light through the TFT array of red, green and blue dots.

NL10276AC30-42C Pins

Regarding the pin definitions of the NL10276AC30-42C, this display module utilizes a standard signal interface design. As shown in the pin configuration table, the interface is clearly divided into power supply (VCC), ground (GND), and critical LVDS differential signal pairs (such as D0± through D3±), supporting multiple pixel mapping modes for both 6-bit and 8-bit data. Additionally, the pins integrate functional configuration bits such as MSL (Selection of LVDS input map) and FRC (Selection of the number of colors).

 

Note1: All GND and VCC terminals should be used without any non-connected lines.

Note2: Twist pair wires with 100(Characteristic impedance) should be used between LCD panel signal processing board and LVDS transmitter.
