LG240641-SFLYH6V -7- 4. COMMUNICATION WITH MPU 4.1 RAM Map The Display RAM is built in the module, and display data (text, graphic and CG data) is written to this display RAM. The built-in controller T6963C automatically reads the display RAM and sends the appropriate data to LCD drivers. The “Control Word Set” command (text home set, text area set, etc.) defines the RAM area which is read by the controller T6963C making the RAM map programmable by the user. If more than 1 screen can be stored in the RAM. Vertical scrolling and paging is easily performed by resetting text home and/or graphic home address. The 32K bytes built-in RAM is located at address 0000H ~ 7FFFH, and the following is an example of RAM mapping. 0000H Graphic RAM Area (0000H ~ 3BFFH) GH=0000H * 6 x 8 Font=6 screen * 8 x 8 Font=8 screen Attribute RAM Area (3C00H ~ 3FFFH) Text for 1024 characters Text RAM Area (4000H ~ 7BFFH) TH=1000H * 6 x 8 Font=48 screen * 8 x 8 Font=64 screen CG RAM Area (7C00H ~ 7FFFH) CG RAM Offset register For 128 words, set data=”0FH” 3C00H 4000H 7C00H 7FFFH 4.2 Status Read Status of the T6963C should be checked between all command and data in order to complete a communication cycle with the MPU. The status can be read from 8 bits data lines (D0 to D7) by setting C/D=“H”, /RD=“L”, /WR=“H” and /CE=“L”. The T6963C status word format is as follows: MSB LSB STA7 STA6 STA5 STA4 STA3 STA2 STA1 STA0 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 LG240641-SFLYH6V STA0 Check command execution capability 0 : Disable 1 : Enable STA1 Check data read/write capability 0 : Disable 1 : Enable STA2 Check Auto mode data read capability 0 : Disable 1 : Enable STA3 Check Auto mode data write capability 0 : Disable 1 : Enable STA4 Not used STA5 Check controller operation capability 0 : Disable 1 : Enable STA6 Error flag.

The data in the Graphic home address (GH) is displayed at the home position of display (left end 8 bits in 1st line). When using the attribute function, the graphic home address indicates the starting address of distribute RAM area. 5.2.4 Graphic Address Set (GA) This command defines the number of columns by D1. The graphic area can be defined independently from the number of characters fixed by hardware setting of controller LSI. If the graphic area is defined as the actual number of columns on the LCD display, the address in graphic area can be continuous and the RAM area can be used without ineffective areas. Note that the Graphic area will be different for depending on character font settings even if horizontal dot number is the same.

The display mode does not change until the next command is sent. The logical OR, EXOR, AND of text or graphic display can be displayed. CG ROM mode: Built-in 128 character CG ROM (code: 00H - 7FH) and built-in CG RAM for 128 characters can be used (code: 80H - FFH). CG RAM mode: Built-in CG RAM for 256 characters (code: 00H - FFH) can be used. When CG ROM Mode is selected, character code 00H - 7FH is selected from built-in CG ROM and character code 80H – FFH is automatically selected from CG RAM. (Example) GRAPHIC "OR" TEXT "AND" "EXOR" LG240641-SFLYH6V - 16 - Attribute function Attribute operations are “Reverse display”, “Character blink” and “Inhibit” in text display mode. The attribute data is written in the graphic area defined by Set Control Word command (Graphic home address set and Graphic area set). Only text display is possible in Attribute Function mode, since the attribute data is stored in the graphic RAM area, graphic display is automatically disabled. However, the Display Mode command must be used to turn both Text and Graphic on in order for the Attribute function to be available. The attribute data of the 1st character in “Text area” is written at the 1st byte in “graphic area”, and attribute data of nth character is written at the nth byte in “Graphic area”.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF LCD MODULE 11.1 Handing Precautions 1) The display panel is made of glass. Do not subject it to a mechanical shock by dropping it from a high place, etc. 2) If the display panel is damaged and the liquid crystal substance inside it leaks out, be sure not to get any in your mouth. If the substance comes into contact with your skin or clothes, promptly wash it off using soap and water. 3) Do not apply excessive force on the surface of display or the adjoining areas of LCD module since this may cause the color tone to vary. 4) The polarizer covering the display surface of the LCD module is soft and easily scratched. Handle this polarizer carefully. 5) If the display surface of LCD module becomes contaminated, blow on the surface and gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth. If it is heavily contaminated, moisten cloth with one of the following solvents. · Isopropyl alcohol · Ethyl alcohol Solvents other than those mentioned above may damage the polarizer. Especially, do not use the following: · Water · Ketone · Aromatic Solvents 6) When mounting the LCD module make sure that it is free of twisting, warping, and distortion. Distortion has great influence upon display quality. Also keep the stiffness enough regarding the outer case. 7) Be sure to avoid any solvent such as flux for soldering never stick to Heat-Seal. Such solvent on Heat-Seal may cause connection problem of heat-Seal and TAB. 8) Do not forcibly pull or bend the TAB I/O terminals. 9) Do not attempt to disassemble or process the LCD module. 10) NC terminal should be open. Do not connect anything. 11) If the logic circuit power is off, do not apply the input signals. 12) To prevent destruction of the elements by static electricity, be careful to maintain an optimum work environment. · Be sure to ground the body when handling the LCD module. · Tools required for assembly, such as soldering irons, must be properly grounded. · To reduce the amount of static electricity generated, do not conduct assembly and other work under dry conditions. · The LCD module is coated with a film to protect the display surface. Exercise care when peeling off this protective film since static electricity may be generated. 11.2 Storage Precautions LG240641-SFLYH6V - 31 - 1) When storing the LCD module, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or to the light of fluorescent lamps and high temperature/high humidity. Whenever possible, the LCD module should be stored in the same conditions in which they were shipped from our company. 2) Exercise care to minimize corrosion of the electrodes. Corrosion of the electrodes is accelerated by water droplets or a current flow in a high humidity environment. 11.3 Design Precautions 1) The absolute maximum ratings represent the rated value beyond which LCD module can not exceed. When the LCD modules are used in excess of this rated value, their operating characteristics may be adversely affected. 2) To prevent the occurrence of erroneous operation caused by noise, attention must be paid to satisfy VIL, VIH specification values, including taking the precaution of using signal cables that are short. 3) The liquid crystal display exhibits temperature dependency characteristics. Since recognition of the display becomes difficult when the LCD is used outside its designated operating temperature range, be sure to use the LCD within this range. Also, keep in mind that the LCD driving voltage levels necessary for clear displays will vary according to temperature. 4) Sufficiently notice the mutual noise interference occurred by peripheral devices. 5) To cope with EMI, take measures basically on outputting side. 6) If DC is impressed on the liquid crystal display panel, display definition is rapidly deteriorated by the electrochemical reaction that occurs inside the liquid crystal display panel. To eliminate the opportunity of DC impressing, be sure to maintain the AC characteristics of the input signals sent to the LCD Module. 11.4 Others 1) Liquid crystals solidify under low temperatures (below the storage temperature range) leading to defective orientation or the generation of air bubbles (black or white). Air bubbles may also be generated if the LCD module is subjected to a strong shock at a low temperature. 2) If the LCD modules have been operating for a long time showing the same display patterns, the display patterns may remain on the screen as ghost images and a slight contrast irregularity may also appear. A normal operating status can be regained by suspending use for some time. It should be noted that this phenomenon does not adversely affect performance reliability. 3) To minimize the performance degradation of the LCD modules resulting from destruction caused by static electricity, etc., exercise care to avoid touching the following sections when handling the module: · Terminal electrode sections. · Part of pattern wiring on TAB, etc.
