This PAS applies to commercially available liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

This PAS applies to all LCD types, including transmissive, reflective or transflective LCD modules using either segment, passive or active matrix and achromatic or colour-type LCDs that are equipped with their own integrated source of illumination or without their own source of illumination.

The object of this PAS is to establish uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements of the following LCD parameters, as defined herein: a) quasistatic strength; b) quasistatic fatigue.

The methods described in this PAS apply to all sizes, small and large, of LCDs.
