Liquid crystal display devices - Part 5-3: Environmental, endurance and mechanical test methods - Glass strength and reliability

IEC 61747-5-3:2009 applies to commercially available liquid crystal displays (LCDs). This standard applies to all LCD types, including transmissive, reflective or transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) modules using either segment, passive or active matrix and achromatic or colour type LCDs that are equipped with their own integrated source of illumination or without their own source of illumination. The objective of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements of the following LCD parameters: a) quasistatic strength, b) quasistatic fatigue. The methods described in this standard apply to all sizes, small and large, liquid crystal displays. This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61747-1:1998.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61747-5-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 110:
Flat panel display devices.
This International Standard replaces the IEC/PAS 61747-5-3, published in 2007.
There have been no significant revisions since the publication of the PAS version.
This part of IEC 61747 is a sectional specification for liquid crystal display cells. It is to be
read in conjunction with the IEC 61747-1 to which it refers.

INTRODUCTION
IEC 61747-5-3 facilitates the characterization of mechanical strength properties of LCD
modules and their component glass. Analysis and testing are performed on LCD Module
component glass as well as finished LCD modules. Statistics of mechanical strength of the
modules are determined allowing a prediction of module failure probability at a given stress
level or for a given probability of failure, the maximum recommended safe loading stress for
the module.

Part 5-3: Environmental, endurance and mechanical test methods –
Glass strength and reliability



1 Scope
This part of IEC 61747 applies to commercially available liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
This standard applies to all LCD types, including transmissive, reflective or transflective liquid
crystal display (LCD) modules using either segment, passive or active matrix and achromatic
or colour type LCDs that are equipped with their own integrated source of illumination or
without their own source of illumination.
The objective of this standard is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable
measurements of the following LCD parameters:
a) quasistatic strength,
b) quasistatic fatigue.
The methods described in this standard apply to all sizes, small and large, liquid crystal
displays.
NOTE Methods for measuring the fatigue constant are described in this standard and are taken from the
1
referenced literature, see [13] to [20]. The primary results are formulae for estimated allowable stress for the
specified lifetime or estimated failure rate for the specified stress level. As an example, limited data for strength
and fatigue behaviour of LCD glass are included in an informative Annex A. Similarly, limited data for static
strength of LCD modules are also included and compared with that of parent glass.
