PRODUCT FEATURES

169-VL Features

A professional LCM pattern test instrument — full-featured, well-protected and easy to operate

📺

Dual-Interface High-Speed Output

Up to 16-lane V-by-One (3840×2160/120Hz) or 4-channel LVDS (1920×1080/120Hz) — one instrument covers both mainstream interfaces.

🛡️

Quadruple Hardware Protection

All output signals have protection circuits; panel power features configurable over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and no-load protection, preventing damage to the instrument and the panel under test.

🖼️

Rich Test Pattern Library

48+ built-in common test patterns (including 3 dynamic scrolling screens); unlimited external images via SD card; up to 16 patterns per module parameter set.

Instant On

Ready instantly at power-on — enters test mode immediately; 99 preset module parameter sets, so switching lines or panels means just switching a parameter number.

🎛️

Three Control Methods

Three control modules supported: remote control (optional), numeric keypad (default), mouse (optional); signal on/off and pattern switching need only 3 buttons.

🤖

Fixture Integration & Auto-Play

Supports fixture travel switches — press down to turn on the signal, lift to turn it off; test screens can auto-switch with independent per-image duration.

WHY 169-VL

169-VL vs TV Motherboard Pattern Testing

A full comparison of pattern-testing solutions for LCM production lines — professional instruments win across the board

Item169-VL Professional Signal GeneratorOrdinary TV Motherboard
Versatility Purpose-built for LCM production-line pattern testing, compatible with all LVDS and V-by-One panels One TV board only drives its matching panel — changing glass means changing the board
Reliability All interface signals have protection circuits; T-CON power features over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and no-load protection No protection — easily damaged
Efficiency Instant on at power-up, highly efficient Must wait for the TV board to fully boot; some boot very slowly
Operability Signal on/off and pattern switching with just 3 buttons Must switch to the USB channel via remote first, then play USB images
Cost-Effectiveness Designed service life of 5–10 years — better long-term value Frequent damage or even scrapping — higher overall cost
Special Requirements Independently developed — customization available for special panel-inspection processes Cannot be met
Industry Trend Major brand LCM manufacturers all use professional instruments for pattern testing
Success Stories Skyworth, Changhong, Innolux, AUO, Panda, BOE, TCL CSOT

The Common Choice of Many Leading LCM Manufacturers

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting

Quick ways to locate pattern-testing issues

  • Check that the correct cables are used;
  • Check that the correct power parameters and timing parameters are selected;
  • Turn on the output signal and check whether VCC current is normal — very low current or NCP usually indicates a cable error, or possibly wrong power parameters.
  • Check that cables and timing parameters are correct and that the signal generator resolution matches the panel;
  • LVDS signal: check that the JEIDA / VESA format selection is correct;
  • Check the bit-width selection: LVDS with 5 differential pairs per channel (including clock) is 8-bit, 6 pairs is 10-bit; V-by-One is usually 10-bit;
  • V-by-One signal: check the SECTION parameter (8-lane: 1SEC / 2SEC; 16-lane: 1SEC / 2SEC / 4SEC).
  • Option 1: Custom Cables — custom dedicated cables made to the LCM interface definition, connected directly;
  • Option 2: Custom Adapter Boards — custom adapter boards used with the LCM’s original cables;
  • Both are consumable solutions; consult us for customization based on your actual line situation.
