IEC 61747-30-1:2012 is restricted to transmissive liquid crystal display-modules using either segment, passive or active matrix and achromatic or colour type LCDs. Furthermore, the transmissive modes of transflective LCD modules with backlights ON are comprised in this document. An LCD module in combination with a touch-panel or a front-light-unit is excluded from the scope because measurements are frequently inaccurate. Touch-panels or front-light-units are removed before measurement. Throughout the main body of this standard, an integrated backlight is assumed to provide the illumination for the measurements. Deviations from this (e.g. segmented displays without integrated backlights) may usually be handled in the same way as display modules with integrated backlight, if an external backlight is provided. However, in the case where one of the two situations should be handled differently, this will be specifically stated. This first edition cancels and replaces IEC 61747-6 published in 2004. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the document structure was brought in line with 61747-6-2; and
b) various technical and editorial changes were made.

This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61747-1:1998.
