Before beginning the manufacture of LCD PCBs, you need to know a lot of facts about the LCD PCBs boards. Info about the manufacturing process, material selections, types of boards, and manufacturer are key factors you need to know.
We will discuss and answer several questions about LCD PCBs in this FAQ article. Go through the entire article to get basic facts about LCD PCB monitor PCB boards.
LCD is an abbreviation for Liquid Crystal Display. Pictures are produced when various electrical voltages are applied to a display device. A display device is an electronic display device that creates images.
The LCD is usually thought of as a collection of diodes. The pictures are produced by the diodes using small cells and ionized gasses. Aside from that, the LCD is based on the light modulation characteristic, which is a mechanism for transmitting and receiving signals via light.
On the other hand, theprinted circuit board (PCB) is the controller board of any electronic device. A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) comprises many components and conductive lines that are hidden from view from the end-user.
So a PCB that is utilized for controlling LCD screens is referred to as the LCD PCB. LCD PCBs are made of different materials such as FR4, Polyamide, and Teflon among others.
To make an LCD PCB, you need to follow specific design procedures. There are a lot of things to consider. For starters, the LCD PCB design begins with drawing the schematic. Here is a further step-by-step design procedure of LCD PCB production.
The first step to designing an LCD PCB is to start with a schematic. First, you need to draw a schematic of your LCD PCB. You can say the schematic is your circuit’s blueprint.
After creating the schematic, you have to create a blank LCD PCB layout on your computer design tool. Now, import the schematic of the LCD PCB to the blank layout by schematic capture tool.
Determine the stack-up of your LCD PCB with multilayers. You can set any number for the PCB layers you want. You can use the layer stack-up manager to define and design the layers.
After finalizing the PCB layout and layers, you must print the PCB layout on the PCB board. For printing the layout of your LCD PCB, you can use 3D or laser printing. Etch the conductive traces to ensure the electric current flows to the components.
After finishing the successful printing of your LCD PCB, it is time to assemble the PCB. You can use an automated process or manually arrange and place them on your PCB board.
Your PCB is ready for trace routing when you complete the component placement. Connect the components where needed. Ensure the correct routing so that the board can function correctly.
The rigid PCB is so strong that you can not twist or bend the board. Rigid PCBs are made of rigid PCB substrates such as FR4, aluminum, and etc. Rigid PCBs are generally multilayer PCBs.
Rigid-flex PCBs are a combination of rigid and flexible PCBs. The flexible part of the rigid-flex PCB is used for connecting narrower parts of the rigid boards.
There are CRT monitors, which stand for Cathode Ray Tubes. The majority of its early usage came in the form of TV monitors. CRT displays employ high-energy electrons to create images on a fluorescent screen.
LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode. It is one of the latest display technologies in the market. LED monitors are kind of flat panels or slightly curved. LED panels create high contrast images with less negative impact tone.
OLED stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diode. This is another technological development in the display sector. OLED produces high-quality pictures. It is brighter, thinner, and powers a better refresh rate. AMOLED monitors are a sub-type of OLED.
The most popular of application is the LCD TV PCB board. These are used for high contrast television monitors. LCD is a cheaper alternative to plasma monitors.
When soldering the base metal of LCD PCB boards together, you may find that the solder does not adhere properly. When the melted solder fails to form a connection, this is referred to as a non-wetting defect of the printed circuit boards.
As a result, the solder materials do not conform to the requirement to attach to the PCB pads firmly. The boards’ surface materials are revealed due to the non-wetting flaw. Furthermore, the non-wetting issue contributes to the inability to create holes in the boards.
You may follow the following steps to fix the non-wetting defects on your LCD PCBs:Take proper action to prevent oxidation. Oxidation is one of the biggest causes of non-wetting defects.
Overheating is another big reason behind the defect. It increases the defect by degrading the flux activity on the board. Keep the temperature as moderate as needed.
Polyamide, commonly known as polyimide, is a PCB board material used to fabricate flexible printed circuit boards. Polyamide is made from a variety of materials, including silk and wool. It is widely utilized in the mass fabrication of LCD PCBs.
The following are some significant advantages that polyamide has:The most common reason to use polyamide is its suberb flexibility. It is mainly used to produce flexible, rigid-flex LCD PCBs.
The LCD controller board is the board that regulates the LCD’s functions. The controller board creates video signals and connects them to various video sources. Then the board creates the visibility of the videos on the LCD when they are connected.
The following are some excellent features of LCD controller boards:The LCD controller boards are capable of displaying images in ultra-high resolution. The resolution may be as high as 3840 x 2160 pixels per point.
Impedance in LCD PCBs measures opposition to electrical flow, which is something measured in ohms. This measurement is vital for the operation of the circuits in high frequency.
The PCB layer stack-up is the process of placing the copper layers and insulating layers one on top of the other. This facilitates you to design and implement many conductive layers of the LCD PCBs in a single PCB.
Testing is among the most essential steps in manufacturing PCBs. Employ proper testing to ensure the required design facts for your LCD PCBs. The following are the most robust testing methods you can use for testing LCD PCBs.
ICT is the most common type of PCB testing. It is also known as a bed of nails testing. The ICT powers up and actuate every circuit on the board. The probes used in the ICT testing create a specific pressure range on the circuits.
In AOI, you have to use two 3D or one 2D camera to take photos of every board detail. Then, you need to compare the photos to the schematic of the LCD PCB. The PCB is okay if the comparison verifies that the board and the schematic are the same.
You cannot expect that your LCD PCB will last forever. But, that does not mean you cannot extend the lifespan of your PCBs. If you follow the following tips, you can extend the life cycle of your PCB significantly.
Temperature is a vital fact in electronics. High heat or excessive heat can harm your LCD PCBs in many ways. You need to monitor your LCD PCBs’ temperature else, the following harm can occur to your PCB:

HMI, lcd screen assembly, have been widely used in financial terminals, Consumer electronics, Self-service terminals and other industries. This 3.5 Inch Module With PCB Board is specially customized for many kinds of smart devices.
The merchandise under consideration is identified as the Wacom Cintiq 16 with Pro Pen 2 (Cintiq 16). The Cintiq 16 is a device known as a drawing tablet, and it is described as a multifunctional device that has a liquid crystal display (LCD) with a touch screen that operates in conjunction with automatic data processing (ADP) machines. Therefore, the Cintiq 16 does not operate as a stand-alone unit. The user of the Cintiq 16 can make professional drawings and images, such as animations and industrial designs, and is able to draw directly onto the LCD screen by using a specialized stylus, a pen-like drawing apparatus stylus. The Cintiq 16 only functions as a drawing tablet and does not perform any other operations. The product is comprised of an LCD display module, front and back cover assemblies, and various printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). When it is sold to the consumer, the Cintiq16 is retail packaged with a power adapter, specialized cables, and the stylus pen.
Once the Cintiq 16 is connected, the display image from the ADP machine’s monitor is duplicated on the Cintiq 16 LCD. Thus, the LCD screen on the Cintiq 16 tablet functions as a secondary display while users create and/or edit content via the touch surface. Likewise, users have the capability to interact with their project and can visualize the results via an ADP machine’s display output.
To perform its functions, the Cintiq 16 uses four PCBAs which are the electro-magnetic resonance (EMR) board, the keypad board, the scaler board, and the sensor control board (SCB). In New York Ruling Letter (NY) N308714, dated January 23, 2020, we considered the country of origin of a previous version of the Cintiq 16 that was produced with a different production process. The manufacturing process for making the new Cintiq16, SKU DTK-1660/KO-AB and KO-AC has now been changed. In NY N308714, three of the four PCBA boards contained in the device, the EMR board, the keypad board, and the scaler board were made in China, and only the SCB PCBA was manufactured in Taiwan. Now, WTC will populate two additional PCBA’s, the scaler board and the keypad board with components using Surface Mount Technology (“SMT”) in Taiwan instead of China. This means that under the new proposed production scenario, the keypad board, scaler board, and SCB will be produced in Taiwan instead of China.
The first two stages of production of the Cintiq 16 involves manufacturing two subassemblies in China, which are identified as the back-cover module and the front-cover module. The back cover module contains air vents inside the plastic cover, a pen tag and two small rubber anti-rolling strips on the external body of the plastic cover. The assembly of the front-cover module consists of (1) placing glass on the plastic cover; (2) attaching the LCD panel behind the cover; (3) attaching the EMR board behind the LCD panel; and (4) placing the open cells and the backlight behind the cover.
The Chinese-origin back-cover and front-cover modules will then be shipped to Taiwan together with the stylus pen, pen holder, AC adaptor, and a power cable. In addition, the following three bare Printed Circuit Boards (“PCBs”) (bare SCB PCB, bare scaler board PCB, and bare keypad board PCB) will be shipped to Taiwan for further manufacturing into the finished PCBAs through SMT. In Taiwan, the SMT processes will be used to populate each of the bare PCB’s boards with the various electronic components so that they will become fully built PCBAs. Upon completion of the SMT processes, Japanese-origin WTC tablet firmware will be installed on the SCB and Taiwanese-origin scaler board firmware will be installed on the scaler board.
The scaler board is attached to the front-cover module. The SCB is attached to the LCD panel in the front-cover module so that it can sense and capture each pen stroke’s pressure on the bare EMR board. Without the SCB underlying it, it is claimed that the EMR board will not function as a sensor. The keypad board is also assembled to the front-cover module, and it is interconnected to the scaler board with cables to allow the transmission of signals and to function as a complete unit. The back-cover module is then combined with the front-cover module with screws.
Counsel contends that the EMR board is a simple PCB board with tiny magnetic sensor coils, and it has no electronic components on it. It is attached behind the LCD screen to allow the sensor coils to magnetically capture each pen stroke. Counsel also claims that the SCB monitors the movement of the sensor coils attached on the EMR board, and that it recognizes each pen stroke, the pen’s location, pressure, and speed, and that it transmits these interpreted, digitized input signals to the output unit, i.e., the scaler board.
In addition, counsel states that the role of the scaler board is as an output unit that generates images on the LCD screen. The scaler board has the highest number of components among the four different PCBAs. While the scaler board is responsible for producing the images on the LCD screen, as an alternative the consumer/artist can still use the Cintiq 16 tablet without the LCD screen, since the user can always view drawings produced on a connected external monitor.
The fourth and final PCBA in the Cintiq 16 is the keypad board (called the “power switch”). It is responsible for directing power currents in the Cintiq 16 tablet. It functions basically as an on and off switch.
Counsel points out that there are four major components that make up the Cintiq 16 tablet. They are the SCB, scaler board, keypad board, and front-cover module. Consistent with CBP’s previous decisions on PCBAs, populating PCBs with various microelectronic components by using SMT constitutes a substantial transformation of the blank PCB boards and individual microelectronic components contained on the boards. See C.S.D 19 Cust. Bull. 844 (1985). Therefore, we find that the country of origin of the three individual PCBAs that are populated with components in Taiwan using SMT, (the SCB, the Scaler Board, and the Keypad Board) is Taiwan. However, in determining the country of origin of the finished Cintiq 16, we must analyze whether these Taiwanese origin PCBAs and the other manufacturing operations performed in Taiwan determine its country of origin when combined with the Chinese-origin components.
As has already been noted, since the issuance of NY N308714, WTC has changed the way the Cintiq 16 will be manufactured by having two additional PCBA’s, the scaler board and the keypad board, populated with electronic components using SMT in Taiwan, instead of China. This means that under this new proposed production process, three out of the four PCBAs contained in the Cintiq 16, the keypad board, scaler board, and SCB, are now produced in Taiwan instead of China.
Counsel contends that the Taiwanese-made PCBAs impart the essence to the Cintiq 16 drawing tablet and that three of the four PCBAs used in the Cintiq 16 will now be made in Taiwan. Counsel emphasizes the importance of the SCB PCBA because it is the component in the drawing tablet that provides the specialized pressure sensitive technology used in the drawing process and what separates the Cintiq 16 drawing tablets from similar devices like other tablets which also permit basic drawing onto an LCD screen with a stylus, such as an “Apple iPad” or a “Microsoft Surface.” It is this technology why consumers would choose to buy the Cintiq 16 drawing tablet. In addition, counsel points out that the Taiwanese-made PCBAs are more sophisticated than the Chinese-made subassemblies and parts, such as the EMR board, and they contain far more individual components. Counsel maintains that the accessories, such as the stylus pen, the power adapter, and specialized cables that are sold together with the Cintiq 16 tablet should not be given a lot of weight in determining the country of origin of the finished product.
Accordingly, in analyzing what is the country of origin of the Cintiq 16, we consider the various functions of the components of the Cintiq 16 to see if they determine the essence of the finished product. We recognize that the Cintiq 16 is a combined input/output device that has two distinct functions. The first function is that of an input device by manipulating images that are drawn using a specialized uniquely suited stylus ono the LCD screen. The second function of the Cintiq 16 is to perform as an output device by showing the images drawn on the LCD screen of the Cintiq 16 and, at the same time, onto a monitor of a linked ADP machine, such as a computer if that computer has a monitor connected to it. However, it is noted that if an attached desktop PC does not have a monitor and the Cintiq 16 is plugged into the desktop, the LCD of the Cintiq 16 will function as the primary monitor with a touch surface. Consequently, an attached monitor from the ADP machine is not required for the Cintiq 16 to function as a drawing tablet.
It is also noted that for the drawing tablet to create an image, an electromagnetic signal between the stylus and the PCBAs located in the drawing tablet must be generated. The magnetic field emanating from the stylus pen is recognized by sensor boards (EMR Board and the SCB PCBA). The electromagnetic resonance technology allows for the stylus pen"s location, pressure, and speed to be tracked and registered. The Chinese origin stylus pen generates a data signal which is detected by the tablet. When a user draws a line using the stylus, the coil circuit transfers the signals to the main circuit inside the stylus. By using electromagnetic signals, the tablet can sense the position of the stylus. The tablet generates an electromagnetic signal, which is received by a circuit in the stylus. The stylus works as an antenna that receives the signal and generates another electromagnetic field that "talks" back to the tablet. The SCB board receives a signal from the stylus and, through its pressure sensitive technology, contributes to making the image drawn on the Cintiq 16. The SCB monitors the movement of the sensor coils attached on the EMR board, and recognizes each pen stroke, the pen’s location, pressure, and speed, and transmits these interpreted, digitized input signals to the output unit, i.e., the scaler board. Without the SCB underlying it, it is claimed that the EMR board does not function as a sensor. In other words, it is the interaction between the Chinese origin stylus and the Chinese origin EMR board with the Taiwanese origin SCB board that allows the Cintiq 16 to generate a visible image.
The fact that the image shown on the LCD screen is duplicated on a monitor and on a connected ADP machine does not negate the fact that the Cintiq tablet 16 also functions as an output device by displaying an image on its LCD screen. With respect to which components of the Cintiq 16 impart its output function, we note that the Chinese-made LCD panel subassembly displays the image of what is being drawn as well as duplicating the primary display. However, the Taiwanese-made scaler board also greatly contributes to allowing an image to be displayed. Thus, again, it is the combination of Taiwanese and Chinese components in the Cintiq 16, that allows the Cintiq 16 to function as an output device that can display images.
Counsel contends that the greater number of components on the three Taiwanese PCBA boards indicates that they are more complex, and that they are the most important of the PCBAs contained in the Cintiq 16. We do not necessarily agree that the sheer number of electronic individual components contained on the PCBA boards means that these PCBA boards play a more vital role in the function of the device, which is to generate and display images and designs. Rather, we believe that the role of the components and the subassemblies must be considered and how they function in the finished device to determine if there are dominant components which
impart the essence of the device. In this instance, it is the interplay between the stylus, EMR SCB, scaler boards, and LCD that allow the Cintiq 16 to generate the images and to display those images onto a screen.
In this case, as noted, both the Chinese and Taiwanese components of the Cintiq 16 tablet play a vital role in the functions that allow the user to create images that can be electronically displayed on a screen. Accordingly, since we cannot ascertain dominant components, including the PCBAs, which are more important in providing the essence to the finished Cintiq 16 drawing tablet, we look to the nature of the processing operations to see where the most significant work involved in making the Cintiq 16 is being performed.
In HQ H015324, CBP was asked to determine the country of origin of stereoscopic displays assembled in the U.S. from non-U.S. parts. The displays consisted of two LCD monitors from China or Taiwan, mounted in a custom-made stand with a special beamsplitter mirror mounted at a bisecting angle between the two monitors. A graphics card in the computer separately transmitted right eye and left eye video. The importer would send one of the monitors to a third-party in the U.S. for an optical transformation process, after which the displays would be assembled, aligned, and tested. CBP found that the processing and assembly operations in the U.S. resulted in a substantial transformation of the imported LCD monitors and the beamsplitter mirror. We found that the polarization process performed in the U.S. changed the essential character of the LCD and imparted the stereoscopic functionality to the entire system. In addition, the assembly, testing and alignment of the display required a significant amount of time and precision by skilled technicians. In other words, it was the extensive processing performed in Taiwan that determined the country of origin of the stereoscopic displays.
In this case, under the new proposed production scenario, we find that the most significant work in manufacturing of the Cintiq 16 is now being performed in Taiwan. This processing work now includes the production of the three PCBA boards, the SCB PCBA, the scaler board, and the keypad board, with the addition of the Taiwanese firmware. We note that building the three PCBA boards is technically intricate and a complex operation. It involves using SMT to populate a myriad of electronic components, including the attachment of the active and passive elements as well as other components onto a bare printed circuit board by soldering, gluing and other means. In addition to the intricate work of populating the components onto the blank PCB boards, they will be programmed with specially written firmware and software, which lets the Cintiq 16 tablet perform its function as a drawing tablet. Consequently, in this new production scenario, the production operations performed in the Taiwan are more extensive and complex than the work that was being performed in Taiwan in NY N308714. In addition to producing the three PCBAs in Taiwan, other processing operations will also be performed in Taiwan to manufacture the Cintiq 16m, including installing the PCBAs into the housing, connecting cables, installing firmware, and final assembly of all the various components to produce the finished tablets. We note that the total processing operation that will be performed in Taiwan to make the Cintiq 16 requires a significant amount of time and skill to complete.
