AN.No.G1216B1N000-3D0E 1. GENERAL 1.1 General The G1216 is a very thin LCD module on which a full-dot matrix LCD panel and a CMOS IC driver are integrated. The LCD panel used here features wide viewing angle and high contrast. This full dot configuration allows a wide variety of patterns to be displayed depending upon the input data. The display position is the intersection point of the matrix transparent electrodes. This prevents display distortion and displacement. Incorporating a displa

AN.No.G1216B1N000-3D0E In order to read the content of the output register, the Chip Select must be selected, D/I must be 1, and R/W must be 1. When executing the “Read” instruction, the contents of the output register stored at that time are output during the time that “E” is 1. When “E” falls, display data of the currently indicated address is written in the output register. After that, the address advances by one. The contents of the output register are rewritten by the Read instruction.
