TCG070WVLQAPNN-AN02 Kyocera 7.0" WVGA TFT LCD Module 800x480

TCG070WVLQAPNN-AN02 Overview

The Kyocera TCG070WVLQAPNN-AN02 is a 7.0-inch WVGA (800 x RGB x 480) a-Si TFT-LCD module that we keep for replacement and retrofit work on machines already built around the TCG070WVLQ family. The active area is 152.4 x 91.44 mm, the outline is 165 x 104.4 x 8.5 mm, and the interface is the familiar 40-pin parallel RGB at 3.3 V, so an existing controller harness does not have to be rebuilt.

Optically the module is the 500 cd/m2 member of the family: AWV cell, normally black, 500:1 contrast, 85 degrees in all four directions, and a matte anti-glare front. That combination suits machines that were originally specified with a 350 cd/m2 display, because the extra light compensates for aged backlights, dirty windows and dimmed LED drivers in the field, while the 6-bit colour depth keeps graphics and trend curves unchanged.

Cross-Reference and Drop-In Notes

• Same active area: 152.4 x 91.44 mm, so the visible window and the bezel opening do not change.

• Same signal format: parallel RGB, 1 channel of 6 bit, 40 pins, 3.3 V logic. The pinout follows the TCG070WVLQ family.

• Same mounting pattern: the 165 x 104.4 mm outline fits existing brackets; the depth is 8.5 mm, so check clearance where the old unit was thinner.

• Higher luminance: AN02 is the 500 cd/m2 variant. If the old panel was 350 cd/m2, reduce the PWM duty or the driver current after the swap, otherwise night-time screens look over-bright.

• Identical backlight arrangement: two WLED strings with an external driver, 100,000-hour rating.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

• Spare-part programmes: keeping a 7-inch WVGA HMI line running when the original module is no longer buyable.

• Retrofit of legacy operator panels: replacing a dim or damaged display without changing the PLC or the HMI software.

• Packaging and filling lines: multi-station machines where several identical screens are serviced together.

• Mixed-batch OEM builds: one module type used across a product family with different front plates.

• Test rigs and rental fleets: equipment that travels and needs a screen available at short notice.

Handling, Storage and Cleaning

ESD. The COG driver sits directly on the glass. Ground the operator, use a grounded mat, and never touch the FPC contacts with bare hands.

Storage. Keep between -30 and +80 degC in a dark, dry place. Long storage in high humidity causes polariser bubbles and edge peeling, so leave the module in its bag until it is mounted.

Cleaning. Wipe with a soft cloth or cotton pad and a little ethanol. Water and solvent cleaners stain the polariser, and pressure on the front surface can leave permanent mura.

Protective film. Remove the front protection film slowly and at low humidity, because rapid peeling generates static that can damage the driver.

Quality Inspection

Replacement units are powered and inspected before dispatch: display function, dot defects, mura, backlight uniformity and connector condition. Because these modules go into machines that are already in service, the inspection record is kept with the batch number so that a repeat order can be matched to the same grade.

Packing and Shipping

Single module in an anti-static bag with foam corners, then a rigid carton with the model and quantity marked. Small replacement orders are consolidated so that a service team can receive several screens in one shipment. Dispatch is from Hong Kong with tracking.

FAQ

Q: Is AN02 a direct substitute for AN00?
A: Mechanically and electrically yes, with one caveat: AN02 is 8.5 mm deep and 500 cd/m2, while AN00 is 8.2 mm and 350 cd/m2. Check rear clearance and lower the drive current or PWM duty after fitting.

Q: Can the panel be mounted in portrait orientation?
A: Yes. The AWV cell is symmetrical at 85 degrees in all directions, so rotating the module keeps the same viewing performance. The scan direction setting must be changed on the controller.

Q: What connector does it use?
A: A 40-contact FFC/FPC at 0.5 mm pitch, the same as the rest of the TCG070WVLQ family. The mating connector must be latched to avoid intermittent contacts in vibrating machines.

Q: How should a spare be stored before installation?
A: In the original anti-static bag, dark and dry, between -30 and +80 degC. Do not stack heavy objects on the carton and do not remove the front film until the module is ready to mount.

Q: Are AN01 and AN02 different panels?
A: They share the published optical and electrical values of the 500 cd/m2 build. The suffix identifies the Kyocera production revision released for a given programme, so both are ordered according to what the machine originally used.
