Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between LQ042T5DZ13A, LQ042T5DZ13B, and LQ042T5DZ13K?
All three models are 4.2-inch WQVGA screens from Sharp's LQ042 series. The "A" variant is the standard version. The "B" variant may feature a different FPC connector shape or minor mechanical revision. The "K" variant is typically an automotive-grade version with higher brightness (up to 500 nits) and a wider operating temperature range up to 85°C for extreme dashboard environments.
Does the LQ042T5DZ13A include a touchscreen digitizer?
No, the standard LQ042T5DZ13A is a display-only LCM without a built-in touch sensor. If your vehicle requires touch functionality, ZYLCD can supply compatible 4.2-inch resistive touch panels that can be bonded or mounted over this LCD.
Can I use this screen to replace a broken 4.3 inch navigation display?
The LQ042T5DZ13A is strictly a 4.2-inch diagonal display. While it is often used in similar housings, please measure your current screen's active area and check the 20-pin RGB interface position to ensure compatibility before ordering.
Where can I download the LQ042T5DZ13A datasheet and pinout?
You can request the official PDF datasheet, including mechanical outlines and the Parallel RGB pin definitions, by contacting our engineering team or visiting our technical resources library.
