Securing gaps between displays
Thedisplaysslightlyexpandduetoheatafterthepower
is turned on. When installing multiple displays, securing a
gap of 0.5 mm is required on the left, right, top and bottom
respectively between displays in anticipation of display
contactcausedbyexpansion.
If the gap is less than 0.5 mm, image failure may occur
duetodisplaydistortioncausedbyheatexpansion.
