Frequently Asked Questions
Is the LQ042T5DZ13B a 4.2 inch or 4.3 inch screen?
The LQ042T5DZ13B is strictly a 4.2-inch diagonal display. However, due to similar outer dimensions and mounting holes, it is frequently used as a replacement screen in many 4.3-inch car navigation housings. Please measure your active display area to confirm fitment.
What is the signal interface of the LQ042T5DZ13B?
The LQ042T5DZ13B utilizes a standard Parallel RGB signal interface, connecting via a 20-pin FPC connector. It operates on a typical power supply voltage of 3.3V for logic.
Does this screen include a touchscreen digitizer?
No, the standard LQ042T5DZ13B 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.
