10.4-Inch SVGA Industrial Display

The AUO G104SN03-V.5 features a 10.4-inch screen with an 800 × 600 SVGA resolution and a traditional 4:3 aspect ratio. Its active display area measures approximately 211.2 × 158.4 mm, providing a practical viewing area for industrial interfaces, machine parameters, equipment monitoring, control menus, and graphical information.

The 4:3 format makes the G104SN03-V.5 particularly suitable for industrial equipment and legacy systems designed around conventional SVGA display dimensions.

230 cd/m² Brightness and 500:1 Contrast

The G104SN03-V.5 provides a typical luminance of 230 cd/m² and a 500:1 contrast ratio. These specifications support clear differentiation between displayed text, graphics, status indicators, and other interface elements.

The panel supports 262K or 16.2 million colors, depending on the input configuration, with approximately 50% NTSC color coverage.

TN Normally White Display Technology

The G104SN03-V.5 uses TN, normally white, transmissive TFT-LCD technology. Its typical viewing angles are approximately 80° left, 80° right, 60° upward, and 70° downward at CR≥10.

The viewing characteristics make the panel suitable for equipment where the display is installed in a defined position and primarily viewed from the operator's position.

Antiglare Surface with 3H Hard Coating

The panel features an antiglare surface with 3H hard coating. The antiglare treatment helps reduce reflections from ambient lighting, while the hard coating provides additional protection against scratches during normal handling.

This surface treatment can be useful for industrial control panels, machine interfaces, and embedded equipment installed under varying lighting conditions.

LVDS Interface with 20-Pin Connector

The AUO G104SN03-V.5 uses a 1-channel LVDS, 6/8-bit interface with a 20-pin connector. The typical LCD supply voltage is 3.3V.

For replacement applications, the connector type and resolution alone should not be used to determine compatibility. The complete pin assignment, LVDS configuration, signal timing, power requirements, and host controller specifications should be verified before installation.

The AUO technical specification also states that the V.5 input signals are LVDS and compatible with the earlier G104SN03 V1 interface.

WLED Backlight with Integrated LED Driver

The G104SN03-V.5 uses a 3-string WLED backlight with an integrated LED driver. The supplied product specification lists a backlight life of approximately 25,000 hours, while AUO's technical documentation specifies a long-life LED backlight of approximately 30,000 hours.

The integrated LED driver simplifies the backlight arrangement and makes the module suitable for modern industrial equipment using LED illumination.

Compact 6 mm Panel Design

The G104SN03-V.5 has overall dimensions of approximately 236 × 176.9 × 6 mm, with an active display area of 211.2 × 158.4 mm.

Its compact profile can be useful in industrial equipment, embedded systems, HMI panels, and replacement applications where available installation depth is limited.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

The G104SN03-V.5 is specified for an operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C. The supplied product information lists a storage range of -25°C to 70°C, while the AUO technical specification lists -20°C to 70°C for storage.

The display should be operated within the applicable environmental limits of the exact unit and complete equipment.
