TheoryThis section covers how an LCD Display works.
A Liquid Crystal Display is composed of a light source (backlight), a Liquid Crystal Panel, and a driving circuit. We start with a light source at the back of the panel composed of thin fluorescent bulbs (CCFLs - Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps). This light passes through filters to help create a uniform light source. Then the light passes through the Liquid Crystal Panel which is composed of thousands of pixels that control the flow of light through the panel to make images.
Liquid crystal display
Liquid crystal PanelBelow (on the left) is a cross section of a liquid crystal panel.The key to an LCD's operation is the polarizer. The polarizer only allows a certain wavelength of light to pass through. Thetwo polarizer's are mounted at a 90 degree angle with respect
to each other, which prevents light from passing through. The liquid crystals are used to twist the light beam 90 degrees and allow light to pass through that cell. Color comes from a simple light filter.

Each sub-pixel or cell (a red, green, and blue sub-pixel equals one pixel) is controlled by a Thin Film Transistor (TFT). This provides accurate control of each cell and makes for an accurate picture. Some methods used in the past that didn't involve a switch and current could leak to surrounding cells resulting in a blurred image. A TFT is a semiconductor (bottom-right picture), it behaves like a relay switch.

VIDEO PATH
NT
Circuit descriptionThe ATSC/NTSC tuner can receive both terrestrial analog and terrestrial digital signals. But the NTSC tuner can receive terrestrial analog only. Therefore if you run two displays at The same time, it is not possible to see two digital channels.A/V SW (CXA2069) is the IC that takes external input terminal signals and broadcast signals from the tuners and handles them selectively. Audio signals are sent to MSP4450. Video signals are sent to HD-II via two paths - uPD64015 on the upper side is used to handle sub displays, while uPD64015 on the lower side controls the main display.To the lower side, signals are sent using an expensive 3D-comb filter with Y/C divided. The video decoder (uPD64015) is a chip that decodes input signals. HD-II is a chip that controls nearly all video-related functions, including brightness, sharpness, video formatting and scaling. If digital broadcasting is available, it comes through Transport Stream, which can be controlled from HD-II. Video SW (CXA2181) is an IC that outputs video signals selectively. The selected one is output through MSP (MSP4450) as a digital signal.

DRIVER IC
Circuit DescriptionThe MSP 44x0G family of single-chip Multi-standard Sound Processors covers the sound processing of all analog TV-Standards worldwide, as well as the NICAM digital sound standards. The full TV sound processing, starting with analog sound IF signal-in, down to processed analog AF-out, is performed on a single chip. These TV sound processing ICs now include versions for processing the multi-channel television sound (MTS) signal conforming to the standardrecommended by the Broadcast Television Systems Committee (BTSC). The DBX noise reduction, or alternatively, Micronas Noise Reduction (MNR) is performed alignment free. The MSP 44x0G has built-in automatic functions: The IC is able to detect the actual sound standard automatically (Automatic Standard Detection). Furthermore, pilot levels and identification signals can be evaluated internally with subsequent switching between mono/stereo/bilingual; no I2C interaction is necessary (Automatic Sound Selection). The CS5330A / 31A is a complete stereo analog-to digital converter which performs anti-alias filtering, sampling and analog-to-digital conversion generating 18-bit values for both left and right inputs in serial form. The output sample rate can be infinitely adjusted between 2 and 50 kHz. The CS5330A / 31A operates from a single +5V supply and requires only 150 mW for normal operation The CXA2069Q is a TV I2C bus-compatible AV switch IC. The video system and the stereo audio system both have 7 inputs and 3 outputs each. 4 of the 7 video system inputs support S2 and S protocols. The desired inputs can be independently assigned to each output (in the audio system, the left and right channels are processed as one unit) by I2C bus control. However, the same input is assigned to both the video and audio system output 3.

Deep Sleep -AC Input is applied through D114 and D115 to R510 and R511 for start-up voltage to pin 1 of U500. U500 pin6 outputs drive to Q500 via D510 and resistor R513 to the gate of Q500. Q500 drives transformer T100 and D213 and L204 supplies 5v_STB. Regulation is accomplished by feedback through PC103A to PC103B back to pin 2of U500. D501 and R514 supply run voltage to pin 7 of U500 to run the supply. R501 is over current sense through R515 to pin 2 of U500 (FB/OC). Q510 and RC Network R517 and C681 are used for timing of U500. In Deep Sleep mode, the Power Supply only outputs the 5V_STB source. The unit is brought out of Deep Sleep mode by the DPM_ON/OFF signal from the main Micom on the Analog Board via the voltage derived from D209, Q206 and Q207 and applied to RLY_ON at pin 1 of the Micom / Sub on power supply board.
Standby-5V. Standby refer to Deep Sleep ModeAC Detect is developed via Diode D100 and through voltage ladder R110, R111, and R523 and is applied to the gate of U510. U510 cathode is pulled low by the high on the gate turning on PC101A. PC101A will cause PC101B to turn on pulling Micom / Sub pin 4 low. Micom / Sub pin 3 goes high turning on PC102A which will turn on PC102B which will take the base of Q501 low causing Q501 collector to go high. The high on collector of Q501 is applied to the 15 Volt regulator IC U103 developing 15 Volts which is sent to both relay's RL100, RL101 and also to pin 19 of U600. The 15 Volts will cause the two relays to close developing the 160 Volts and via start resistors R607, R608and R609 will start U600 to drive from pin 20 of U 600. FET's Q601 and Q600 which via L100 and D601 is the source for the 383 Volt supply to Q104 Drain. The 383 volt supply is applied though d113 and is the supply for IC500. A sample of the 383Volts is sent to the gate of U105 turning on Q106 which sends 15 volts to U106. U106 outputs drive to U110 which drives Q104 and Q105 and develops the 24 and 19 Volt sources. Regulation is accomplished by feedback via PC104A to PC104B to U106. The source of Q105 sent to pin 2 of U106 which is used for (FB / OCP). The circuit for the 12V and 6V sources are same as the 24 and 19 Volt sources.
FULL POWERThe 3.4V_ON is applied to Q206 base turning on Q206 which turns on Q204 supplying U202 with VC Voltage. U202 outputs drive from pins 3 and 5 to Q200 and Q201 to supply 3.4 volts to the digital and Inverter (ballasts) boards.

A cable card is a PCMCIA card distributed by cable operators and inserted into a Digital Cable Ready (DCR) TV to enable premium services like digital cable. It provides authorization, CA (Conditional Access) decryption and CP (Copy Protection) encryption functions for the consumer’s DCR TV. Note there is a separate Training manual and training class devoted to DCR.
Cablecard
DiagnosticsThe table below describes how to navigate the Cablecard menu. This list of selectable Cablecard options will vary, depending on your cable service provider or Cablecard manufacturer. Also, belowtable shows how to access diagnostic screens for the DCR TV. Many of these screens are not described in the User Manual
Cablecard Troubleshooting•It is recommended that installers bring along a couple of Cablecards for troubleshooting. This will help eliminate the Cablecard as a possible problem during the installation. •Check that the Digital Cable Ready (DCR) TV, also referred to as a HOST, is functional without a Cablecard. The DCR will display all non-encrypted analog and digital content without a card installed. This test will eliminate basic TV circuitry as a possible problem.•Check that the Cablecard is inserted properly. When inserting cable card push carefullybut firmly until you feel the card click into place.•Verify RF from Cable System Tap: The installer can also connect a cable set top box to confirm reception of encrypted digital services. This will help eliminate the RF signal as a possible problem.•If the first Cablecard installed does not result in a User Interface screen (also referred to as MMI screen) within 5 - 7 minutes, try unplugging the AC Power cord of the DCR and reconnecting it (to reset the DCR). If this is still unsuccessful, try another Cablecard. •Look closely at the Cablecard device to ensure that none of the pinholes are blocked or clogged. Use a flashlight to check the Cablecard slot on the DCR TV to ensure that there are no bent pins.•If the second Cablecard is successful, make sure the CSR or Dispatcher knows the new MAC ID and Cablecard ID to complete the installation. The original card should be marked accordingly and returned for repair
•If the second Cablecard fails to bring up the User Interface screen, the technician should refer to the diagnostic menus on the DCR for further troubleshooting. The technician can pull up the User Interface screen manually through the menu choices. •If the technician is able to install the Cablecard device and access the User Interface screen (also referred to as MMI screen), and has relayed the information to the dispatcher, but is still not receiving encrypted programming, this programming may be protected through the use of copy protection directive. Ensure that the information passed to dispatch is correct. Relay again the Host ID, Cablecard ID and Data ID (Motorola only). Dispatch will send a hit to the Cablecardonce the information is checked and verified. The Cablecard must be paired to the Host before
copy protected programming can be displayed. Note that it may take several minutes from the time dispatch sends the authorization before it reaches the DCR device. The MMI screens should be checked to verify if the authorization has been received. For SA systems the host- pod pairing screen should say “Authorization Received.” For Motorola the Conditional Access MMI State parameter should say “Subscribed”. (These should be verified by POD Manufacturers or cable companies.)•To confirm the Headend Validation for displaying the encrypted channel, the technician should check the Cablecard menu. For SA systems, the Cablecard Copy Protection Information menu should say “Authorization Received”. For Motorola systems, the Conditional Access menu should say “Valid xx (2 digit)”.•If encrypted programming is still not displayed, installer should check the status of the following and refer to the chart on the pervious page.Cable Channel List : ReadyCablecard : InsertedFDC status (OOB Status) : LockSNR( Signal to Noise Ratio) : higher than 12 dB is normal range

Long life span : over 70,000 hrs
• Ion accelerated by high voltage & sputter of lamp glass by electron/ Phosphor damage
• Hg consumption : Compound of glass/phosphor
• Discharge by the initial electron in lamp• Electron generated by the collision energy of internal ion (Ar+, Ne+) and cathode (electron emitting material: MgO, TiO2, etc.)
Glow Discharge

• Narrow diameter is impossible due to the characteristic of filament electrode• Φ6.5 is possible as of ’97
• Narrow diameter by using rod type metal electrode• Φ1.6 is possible as of ’03Others
Short life span : about under 10,000 hrs Average : about 50,000 hrs
• Thermion emission by filament heatingHot Cathode
• Electron generated by the collision energy of internal ion (Ar+, Ne+) and cathode
• Metal electrode emits free electron Cold Cathode• Electron created by the collision energy of internal ion (Ar+, Ne+) and cathode
Remark : Same principle of discharge : Electronic energy Hg UV Phosphor visible light, Only difference is the principle of initial electron generation
