9. LIQUID-CRYSTAL TIMING GENERATION
9.1 Reset state
In the reset state, the internal counter is zero-cleared.
After the reset is released, the display OFF function operates during the 4-frame cycle, even if the /DOFF pin is
at H.

9.2 Liquid-crystal timing generation circuit
When the master mode is set with MS = H, this circuit generates the signals /FRM and STB at a duty ratio timing
of 1/240. It also generates L1 and L2, which are the drive voltage selection signals for the row driver.
The /FRM signal is generated twice per frame. The STB signal is generated 121 times per half frame, or 242
times per frame.
