 Introduction

Course Overview
The main concept behind this course is to develop a working (or basic)
understanding of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology, and
combine this knowledge with the simplified flowchart type troubleshooting
procedures to effectively and efficiently service and repair Sony LCD
direct view television products.

With this concept in mind the sequence of this training manual is laid out
as follows.

The training manual starts with Chapter 1 providing the basic explanations
and illustrations of the LCD technology. The theoretical knowledge gained
from this information will prove to be extremely helpful in understanding
why and how possible defects can occur.

Chapter 2 is a natural extension of chapter 1, in that it provides

descriptions and illustrations of real life defects that can occur in LCD
base products. These are general (not model specific) defects that can
occur in any LCD base product.

Chapters 3, 4, and 5 provide model specific flowchart type troubleshooting

procedures. These flowcharts are base on board level troubleshooting.
However, in some cases they will direct the troubleshooter to a possible
defective component.

Keep in mind while reading this training manual that if a particular defect
scenario is not covered, there is detailed training manuals developed for
each model cover in this manual. Go to the Sony ESI web site and search
the training web page for the model specific training manual for detailed
component and board level troubleshooting procedures.

Basic Operation of Liquid Crystal Technology

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Three items are required for and LCD display to function: A backlight
source, polarizing of the light source, and liquid crystals to manipulate the
polarizations of this light.

Overview
Projection television displays utilizing LCD technology have been around
on mass production scale for about 16 years. During most of this time

period the devices were front-type projection units. The display unit was In Figure 1-1, an example of how light is affected by polarizing filters is
mounted on a table or hung from a ceiling to be projected to a wall or shown. Normal light can be transmitted anywhere along a 360-degree
screen. This sufficed for most commercial applications and in some home plane. This is especially true for scattered light being reflected off of
use. Recent years have seen an explosion in the number of rear-type random surfaces. This is why polarizing sunglasses are so effective.

Geometric distortion and convergence issues are virtually non-existent.
This chapter will cover the basics of the LCD display technology used
in today’s products. All of the items discussed can be applied to Front
Projection, Rear Projection, and Direct-View LCD display units. The video
process circuits and light box assemblies function the same way. The
only difference between the two is how the generated image is projected.
Since most homes will have the rear projection unit, the descriptions to
follow will focus on them.

Liquid Crystals
Although liquid crystals come in many different forms, the key difference
between the types is the arrangement of the crystals. Some have randomly
arranged crystals while others are arranged in a specific pattern. Other
differences include how they react to temperature, pressure, magnetic
fields, and electrical current. The crystals used in LCD display devices
are know as “chiral nematic”. As the crystals are arranged in layers, the
crystals naturally twist slightly with each subsequent layer. Layers can
be added until the crystals complete a 90-degree “twist”. This twist in the
crystalline structure can be used to take a certain polarized light and shift
its phase accordingly. The other characteristic of a nematic-type crystal is
it ability to react to an electric potential. If an electrical potential is applied
to the crystal layers, the twisted crystals will begin to “un-twist” in an FIGURE 1-2
amount proportionate to electrical potential until, when enough potential LIQUID CRYSTAL EFFECT ON POLARIZED LIGHT
is reached, they line up perfectly. This is how liquid crystals are used to
control light and generate images on a display device.
Figure 1-2 illustrates how the naturally occurring twist in the crystalline
layer rotates the incoming polarized light to match the polarized plane of
the second filter. In this normal state, the crystals rotate the polarized light
90-degrees to match the plane of the outgoing polarizing filter allowing the
backlight to pass through. In Figure 1-3, an electrical potential is applied to
fully “un-twist” the crystals. The polarized backlight is now perpendicular to
the outgoing filter and no light will pass. By varying this electrical potential,
the amount of effect on the twisted crystals can be altered to a point where
linear control of light output is achieved.

Creating Color With Liquid Crystals

All that is required for LCD pixels to create color is to place a color filter in
front of each pixel. By using red, green, and blue color filters, the required
primary colors are generated to produce the millions of color variations
needed for graphics and video display. Modern LCD technology uses
what is known as Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) technology. Each pixel has
its own transistor and capacitor, which increase the contrast rating of the
LCD due to the increased retention of charge.
This helps to dramatically increase the response time for each pixel as
they are scanned. Control of each pixel is simply a matter of addressing
a particular column and individually activating each pixel in that row with
a properly timed address pulse on the horizontal plane. The higher the
pulse level, the more the crystals align, producing a lower light output.
Figure 1-4 illustrates how color filters and TFT devices are used.

FIGURE 1-4

CTV-35 4
 1. Basic LCD Television

Direct-View LCD
This type of display device uses the methods described previously to
generate video by placing vertical columns of red, green, and blue filters
over a liquid crystal layer. Thin-Film Transistors control the amount of light
passing through each pixel. The light source is generated behind the LCD
array. Fluorescent lamps are the most common to use. A diffuser plate
distributes the light from the lamps to provide uniform brightness to all
areas of the screen. A polarizing sheet is installed next to allow only one
plane of light to pass. This light enters the LCD structure and is twisted 90-
degrees. Another polarizing sheet is placed in front of the pixels at exactly
90 degrees. With no voltage present to “twist” the crystals into alignment,
full passage of the backlighting is allowed. Control of the light output from
each pixel is now possible by scanning the matrix of pixels using carefully
timed pulses at the horizontal and vertical planes of the columns and
rows. Figure 1-5 illustrates a typical LCD panel.

analog signal sources are digitized by the initial video process circuits.
LCD panels can only accept digital signals. Most designs accept the
individual RGB components in an 8 or 10-bit word size. The RGB signal
will have been scaled to meet the fixed resolution of the panel. This digital
RGB data is allocated to the correct pixel position on the panel by the
panel logic circuit.
Failures occurring with the LCD panel itself or the above mentioned
circuits usually manifest themselves in an easily recognizable symptom.
The most common are:
• No picture
• Missing or fully lit horizontal lines (individually or in groups)
• Missing or fully lit vertical lines (individually or in groups)
• Distortion in the displayed video
This last bullet can be more difficult to discern since the distortion can be
caused by the video process circuits rather than those used to control pixel

CTV-35 6

Video Abnormalities Troubleshooting
Video abnormalities can be anything from no video at all, missing lines
or sections, unwanted pixel lighting, and severe to subtle distortions.
The different scenarios that might be encountered will be classified and
practical approaches applied.
No video
A true “no video” condition assumes that none of the various inputs or
tuner sources are displaying a picture. As mentioned earlier, it is important
to immediately isolate the cause and determine if it lies within the video
process or the panel control circuits. All Sony televisions generate what is
known as “On Screen Display” graphics (OSD). Any display of on-screen
graphics (such as channel, video input numbers, or customer setup
menus) immediately disqualifies the panel and the drive circuits as the
cause. On-screen graphics can be a powerful troubleshooting tool but its
use is unique to the design of the unit. A flowchart specific to that chassis/
model should be used.
CTV-35
2. LCD Television Troubleshooting
Backlighting
All LCD televisions, whether a direct-view or projection type, require a
light source be present to pass through the LCD crystals and out to the
viewer. In direct-view units the current choice is multiple fluorescent tube
lamps whose light output is spread by a diffuser panel. Projection units
utilize a high-intensity lamp. In Sony LCD projection units, the lamp light is
split into red, green, and blue light components. These light components
are sent to individual LCD panels for pixel control and recombined for
projection to a screen.
Since current LCD technology is unable to completely block backlighting,
a small amount of light passes through the LCD crystals and can be seen
as a dark gray raster. Ambient room lighting will determine how easy this
is to see. In most cases it is easier to watch the screen as the unit is being
turned off to see if the raster becomes slightly darker.
All Sony LCD televisions contain protection circuits to monitor the circuits
driving the backlight lamps. If the ballast control circuits or the lamp(s) fail,
the unit will usually shut down and display a diagnostics indication. How
this is done is unique to each model. Utilizing a troubleshooting flowchart
for that specific model is the best way to isolate the cause. Verification
of backlighting should always be the first step in isolating a “no video”
condition regardless of the presence of protection circuits.
No Video with Backlighting
If backlighting is confirmed, the next step is to observe for the presence
of any on-screen display (OSD) graphics. These are generated by the
main microprocessor or video process circuits. The presence of OSD is
a clear indicator that the LCD panel and its associated drive circuits are
functioning. The focus of attention is now in the video input and process
circuits. Use a troubleshooting flowchart for the specific model to assist in
isolating the problem.
7

Distorted Video
Distortions in the video can be a difficult challenge since it can manifest
itself in many ways. Fortunately, many of the distortion issues that are
caused by the panel control and driver circuits are unique and usually
easy to identify. Distortions can be classified into the following groups:
• Unlit or fully lit rows or columns of pixels
• Digital distortion across the screen
• Improper video level
• Dark or colored spots on the screen
CTV-35
2. LCD Television Troubleshooting
Rows or Columns of Pixels Lit or Unlit
Fully lit rows or columns of pixels are more common in LCD panels than
ones that are not lit at all. The horizontal and vertical address lines are
controlled by drive circuits that are linked to the panel via flexible PC
cables. These cables are bonded to the outer edge of the panel. If the
bond is lost at one or more of the lines, the control voltage will be lost.
This allows the liquid crystals to twist to their normal position and allow full
light to pass through. Since an entire line is affected all of the red, green,
or blue pixels will light. This is a clear indication of a panel failure since
very expensive and specialized equipment is needed to repair the bond.
Any unit under warranty will need to have the panel replaced. Figure 2-1
illustrates and example of this failure.
Current Sony policy dictates the entire unit be exchanged for direct-view
models. On larger LCD panels, policy changes may occur, allowing the
replacement of the defective panel in the field. Always review the current
service policy for a particular model by visiting the ESI website.

 2. LCD Television Troubleshooting

Digital Distortion Entire Screen

Unless the LCD panel has been damaged in any way, this type of distortion
is usually caused by the process circuits for the video signal. The proper
step is to isolate the cause to a particular board. The two key circuits
for processing video are the initial circuits to perform analog to digital
conversion, and another to scale the incoming video data to the panel
resolution and allocate that information to the proper pixels.
Distortions caused by digital process circuits are unique and, in most
cases, easy to identify as to the source. Random points of pixel lighting and
loss of detail in the displayed image are examples of distortion caused by
the initial video process stages. If this happens, using the OSD functions
of the unit can help to verify this. OSD is usually inserted near the end of
the digital processing, before it enters the panel scaling circuits. Figure 2-
2 illustrates an example of a digital process failure in the front end of the
process circuits. Note how the OSD is unaffected. The OSD has made it
clear that there is nothing wrong with the panel or the scaling and drive
circuits.
Distortions caused by the scaling and panel drive circuits usually generate
symmetrical patterns. Erroneous highlight and black level can also occur
here since gamma correction is performed at this stage.

FIGURE 2-2

Improper Video Level
Video level issues can affect one or all of the primary colors. The panel
scaling and control circuits are reliant on the initial video process stages
to properly reproduce brightness and contrast levels. If an overall picture
level problem occurs with white balance appearing normal, suspect the
failure in the initial video stages. It is not likely that a failure in the gamma
correction or LCD drive circuits will affect all three colors.
In situations where one color is at a level so as to affect white balance,
the problem can be in the initial video stages or in the panel. White
balance shifts on direct-LCD units are not common. If the entire range
of a particular color has increased or decreased suspect a problem in
the initial video stages since this is where these adjustments are located
and stored on to non-volatile memory. Gamma shifts or failures usually
cause white balance problems at the extreme low or highlight areas of a
particular color.
White balance issues with a projection LCD unit are approached in an
entirely different manner. Since 3 separate LCD panels are used, it is
possible for white balance issues to occur that is not electrical in nature.
If drive to one LCD panel were to fail, the symptom would be an extreme
white balance shift towards the particular color of the panel that lost drive.
Likewise, damage, dust or aging of polarizing filters could cause a drop in
one or more of the primary colors.
CTV-35
2. LCD Television Troubleshooting
White Balance
White balance adjustments are provided to vary the output level of the red,
green, and blue LCD panels to achieve proper gray-scale of the displayed
image. In a direct-view LCD television, the level of each red, green, and
blue pixels are varied. Most Sony televisions have more than one white
balance setting. Three are most common. They are: Cool, Neutral, and
Warm.
Neutral is a “true” white balance. If a test pattern were to be displayed using
a “stair-step” pattern from full white to black, all of the brightness levels
of the scale would be true black, white and gray. The “Cool” setting adds
a small amount of blue to give the picture a “hot” look. “Warm” contains a
small amount of red to soften the intensity of the picture.
Adjusting of white balance is only required if the unit has had a board
replacement in which the circuits controlling the balance are located. Other
situations where white balance will require adjustment include aging of
the unit through time, or when someone else has changed the settings.
Adjusting White Balance
The proper procedure for adjusting white balance is covered in the service
manual for each model. A color analyzer is required to properly set the X
and Y values of each of the color temperature settings. The steps required
to perform this adjustment varies from model to model. It also varies
between a direct-view and projection unit. Because of this, it would be
impossible to cover the requirements in a general sense. Each type of unit
has a unique procedure for the initial setting of brightness, contrast, and
what color temperature to start with. Some direct-view LCD models have
an adjustable backlight that must be set to a certain level. The procedure
for reading color balance from the screen also varies for a projection or
direct-view model.
Many technicians will not have the luxury of carrying a color analyzer.
They are expensive ($4000 and up) and require training to use properly.
In cases where color balance must be adjusted and an analyzer is simply
11

not available, there is a procedure that can be performed that will produce
satisfactory results. Although not nearly as accurate, it is better that not
doing the adjustment at all. This procedure should only be done if it is
absolutely necessary and a color analyzer cannot be acquired.
Adjusting White Balance Without a Color Analyzer
In cases where a color analyzer is not available, white balance can be
aligned by eye. Technicians who are experienced with adjusting CRT-
based displays will be familiar with this procedure. They are similar except
that CRT’s require that the G2 grid (screen) be adjusted to the point of
stopping the electron emissions from the cathode at reference black.
Drive controls are then adjusted to make each cathode emit the proper
level of electrons at high brightness to achieve a white raster.
When adjusting an LCD display, there are no cutoff adjustments. In this
particular model, the Sub-Contrast adjustments are used to adjust white
balance for the bright areas of the screen. The Sub-Brightness adjustments
are set for the low-level brightness areas.
The best test pattern to use when visually adjusting white balance is a
monochrome stair-step pattern versus a 100IRE white screen. This
provides a view throughout the range of brightness levels the display will
generate. Another significant difference in the adjustment procedure is
starting with the “Neutral” picture setting. The “Warm” setting shifts the
white balance towards the red end of the scale whereas the “Cool” setting
shifts towards the blue spectrum. By using “Neutral”, the white balance
can be adjusted visually. This provides a reference for the eye so that
the “Cool” mode can be set with the Blue Sub-Brightness and Contrast
increased slightly to boost the color temperature to around 9300K. The
“Warm” setting will have more Red Sub-Brightness and Contrast levels to
create a white balance in the 6500K range. “Neutral” should fall into the
8000K level.
Be certain to leave the low-bit data settings for the Green Sub-Brightness
CTV-35
2. LCD Television Troubleshooting
and Contrast to zero. The high-bit data should be in the mid range. Adjust
the Blue and Red data to achieve white by adding these colors to the
green. The following procedure can be used for a unit when the white
balance is significantly off:
1. With the unit in “Neutral”, set the brightness level to one-third
and the picture level to two-thirds. Input a monochrome stair-step
pattern with at least 75IRE at the highest white level.
2. Check that the Green Sub-Contrast and Brightness levels are
set to mid-range for the upper-bit data and zero for the lower-bit
data.
3. Set the Red upper-bit data for Sub-Contrast and Brightness to
mid-range and the lower-bit data to mid-range.
4. Set the Blue upper-bit and lower-bit data for Sub-Contrast and
Brightness to zero. The picture will now be a yellowish/green.
5. Adjust the Red Sub-Contrast Low to generate a yellow color at
the brightest portion of the test pattern. If you find that you are
reaching the extreme end of the data range (0 – 255), set the Red
Sub-Contrast High up or down one number and try again.
6. Once the bright video level is closest to yellow as possible, repeat
the above procedure for the Red Sub-brightness adjustments.
7. When satisfactory yellow is achieved throughout the video range,
set the high-bit data for Blue Sub-Contrast and Brightness to mid-
range. Adjust the low-bit data for each to change the yellow screen
to white. If you are at either of the extreme ends of the data ranges
(0 – 255), set the upper-bit data up or down accordingly.
8. Once the “Neutral” white balance is satisfactory, adjust the “Warm”
white balance in the same way. Add a small amount of extra Red
Sub-Contrast and Brightness. “Cool” is adjusted adding a small
amount of extra Blue Sub-Contrast and Brightness data.
Although the above procedure can be somewhat subjective, it has worked
12
 2. LCD Television Troubleshooting

rather well for CRT-based consumer televisions for many years. It is a

viable alternative when a color analyzer is impossible to acquire.
