FUNCTION
Logic system power supply pin,
Ÿ Connected to +2.5 to +5.5 V.
Ground pin
Logic ground pin
Ÿ Do not short LGND with GND and Vss by ITO on LCD panel
Ÿ Connect it to GND on PCB or FPC.
Connect to GND by ITO on LCD panel.
Bias power supply pins for LCD drive voltage
Ÿ Normally use the bias voltages set by a resistor divider
Ÿ Ensure that voltages are set such that VSS < V43 < V12 < V0.
Ÿ ViL and ViR (i = 0,12, 43) must connect to an external power supply, and supply regular
voltage which is assigned by specification for each power pin
Input pins for display data
Ÿ In 4-bit parallel mode, DI3-DI0 are the display data input pins, and DI7-DI4 must be
connected to LGND or VDD.
Ÿ In 8-bit parallel mode, All DI7-Dl0 pins are the display data input pins.
Ÿ Refer to section 6.2.2.
Clock input pin for taking display data
Ÿ Data is read at the falling edge of the clock pulse.
Latch pulse input pin for display data
Ÿ Data is latched at the falling edge of the clock pulse.
Input pin for selecting the reading direction of display data
Ÿ When set to LGND level "L", data is read sequentially from Y240 to Y1.
Ÿ When set to VDD level "H", data is read sequentially from Y1 to Y240.
Refer to section 6.2.2.
Control input pin for output of non-select level
Ÿ The input signal is level-shifted from logic voltage level to LCD drive voltage level, and
controls the LCD drive circuit.
Ÿ When set to LGND level "L", the LCD drive output pins (Y1-Y240) are set to level Vss.
Ÿ When set to "L", the contents of the line latch are reset, but the display data are read in
the
data latch regardless of the condition of /DISPOFF. When the /DISPOFF function is
canceled, the driver outputs non-select level (V12 or V43), then outputs the contents of
the data latch at the next falling edge of the LP. At that time, if /DISPOFF removal time
does not correspond to what is shown in AC characteristics, it can not output the
reading data correctly.
Ÿ Table of truth values is shown in "TRUTH TABLE" in Functional Operations.
AC signal input pin for LCD drive waveform
Ÿ The input signal is level-shifted from logic voltage level to LCD drive voltage level, and
controls the LCD drive circuit.
Ÿ Normally it inputs a frame inversion signal.
Ÿ The LCD drive output pins' output voltage levels can be set using the line latch output
signal and the FR signal.
Ÿ Table of truth values is shown in "TRUTH TABLE" in Functional Operations.
Mode selection pin
Ÿ When set to LGND level "L", 8-bit parallel input mode is set.
Ÿ When set to VDD level "H", 4-bit parallel input mode is set.
Ÿ Refer to section 6.2.2.
Segment mode/common mode selection pin
Ÿ When set to VDD level "H", segment mode is set.
Input/output pins for chip selection
Ÿ When L/R input is at LGND level "L", ElO1 is set for output, and EIO2 is set for input.
Ÿ When L/R input is at VDD level "H", ElO1 is set for input, and EIO2 is set for output.
Ÿ During output, set to "H" while LP • XCK is "H" and after 240 bits of data have been
