FReset function
When you turn on the power supply, the module automatically returns to its initial (reset) settings. At the initial settings,
the busy flag (BF) becomes “1.” The busy status last 10 ms from when VDD reaches 4.5V. At the initial settings, following
instructions are carried out.

∗ The internal reset circuit may not operate properly due to conditions with the power supply. If this is the case, use the
appropriate instruction to reset the settings.
FOperation notes
(1) Handling precautions
S Protect the module from strong shocks as they can
cause damage or defective operation.
S The polarizing plate on the surface of the module is
soft and can easily be scratched. Wipe away dirt and
dust using an alcohol-based cleanser.
S If the liquid crystal panel is damaged and liquid crystal
contacts your clothing or body, wash immediately with
soap and water.
S If the module is to be used for long periods subjected
to direct sunlight, employ a filter to block the ultraviolet
rays.
S Do not use the module in areas of high temperature
or high humidity. Do not use the module in locations
exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent light.
S A protective film (polyethylene) is pasted over ROHM
liquid crystal modules to protect the panel surfaces.
When peeling this film off, be sure to peel as slow as
possible in order to minimize the generation of static
electricity.
(2) Precautions during operation
S Do not connect or disconnect the module while the
power supply is turned on.
S Input the input signal after the module power supply
is turned on. When turning it off, turn off the input signal first. Otherwise the IC may be damaged by the
latch-up phenomenon.

(3) Precautions during installation
S Be sure to use a grounded soldering iron when performing any installation procedures.
S Be careful to avoid damage from static electricity. A
CMOS-IC is used in the modules circuitry that can be
easily damaged by static electricity.
(4) Precautions during unit assembly
S In order to protect the polarizing plate from dirt or
scratches, it is recommended to use a protective cover on the front surface.
(5) Precautions for COG module
S Do not subject the front and back surfaces of the IC
to light. Doing so may cause defective operation.
S When peeling off the protective film of the panel, use
of an ion blower or other device to reduce the generation of static electricity is recommended.
S No special measures are taken to prevent the generation of static electricity on the module. Therefore, be
sure to take the appropriate measures to prevent the
generation of electrical charge on the LCD module by
the design of the product itself.
