6. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your flexible display, please observe the following:
- Handling: Always hold the display carefully by its edges. When bending, apply gentle, even pressure.
- Bending Guidelines: Bend the screen slowly and gently, starting from a small angle and gradually increasing. Avoid sudden or sharp movements.
- Prohibited Actions: Do NOT sharply fold, crease, apply excessive pressure, or bend the screen at extreme angles (e.g., folding it in half). Such actions can cause irreversible damage to the display panel.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with water or a screen-safe cleaning solution, to gently wipe the display surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use, store the display in a flat or gently curved position, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and dust.

If you encounter issues with your display, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Display/Black Screen:
- Ensure all cables (FPC, Mini HD, Type-C power) are securely connected.
- Verify the power source is providing adequate 5V 2A power to the driver board.
- Check if your host device is outputting a signal and is configured for external display.
- Try a different Mini HD cable or power adapter to rule out faulty accessories.
- Incorrect Resolution/Aspect Ratio:
- Adjust the display settings on your host device to 1920x1440 resolution.

- Display Flickering or Distorted Image:
- Check for loose cable connections.
- Ensure the power supply is stable.
- Test with a different host device or cable.
- Display Not Responding to Orientation Buttons:
- Ensure the driver board is powered and connected correctly.
