    TC-L37DT30 Standby Power (1) When the TV is plugged in, AC voltage is applied to the standby circuit of the power supply circuit to produce STB5.8V. The STB5.8V is provided to the A board via pin 15 of connector A02. The STB5.8V is regulated to STB5V and applied to the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), IC5000, for conversion to STB3.3V.

  • Page 31 TC-L37DT30 Voltage Distribution Explanation The TV SUB On command of IC8000 triggered the P-Board into supplying +16V to the A board. The +16V source, also known as the P15V, is supplied to numerous DC/DC converters to produce SUB and MAIN voltages. On the other hand, the DC/DC_EN command from IC5000 triggers several DC/DC converters to produce SUB5V, USB5V, SUB3.3V, SUB1.5V and SUB1.2V for the operation of the A-Board, KA-Board, and S-board.

  • Page 78: Glossary

    Glossary (1) 120Hz Motion Picture Pro4 Even fast-moving scenes are displayed sharply and clearly. With a 60Hz video signal input, 120Hz Motion Picture Pro4 makes 120 frames/second from 60 frames/second. This increases the frame count to allow natural frame-to- frame transitions, for smooth motion images with high resolution. Motion Focus Technology also reduces flicker and effectively suppresses blurring and afterimages.
  • Page 79 Glossary (2) IPS Liquid Crystal Panel IPS liquid crystal is an abbreviated expression for In-Plane-Switching type TFT crystal, and is a high quality crystal mode that "is beautiful even when viewed at an angle." With IPS, the liquid crystal molecules rotate on a plane parallel to the TFT board by a horizontal electrical field, and therefore in principle, it offers superior viewing angle, color reproduction, and halftone response speed, has little variation in color tone according to the viewing direction and is capable of displaying a natural image.
  • Page 80 Glossary (3) Wide Viewing Angle The wide 178° viewing angle ensures clear images even when viewed from an angle. The backlight's wide transmission aperture enhances the contrast between light and dark, and improves motion-image response. HDMI ARC The HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) allows the TV to receive picture and audio signals over the HDMI cable, and then send the same audio out over the same HDMI cable.
