Precautions in use of LCD Modules

(1)Avoid applying excessive shocks to the module or making any alterations or modifications to it.
(2)Dont make extra holes on the printed circuit board, modify its shape or change the components of LCD
module.
(3)Dont disassemble the LCM.
(4)Dont operate it above the absolute maximum rating.
(5)Dont drop, bend or twist LCM.
(6)Soldering: only to the I/O terminals.
(7)Storage: please storage in anti-static electricity container and clean environment.

The display data appears when D is and disappears when D is 0. Though the data is not on the screen with
D = 0, it remains in the display data RAM. Therefore, you can make it appear by changing D = 0 into D = 1.

Z address AAAAAA ( binary ) of the display data RAM is set in the display start line register and displayed
at the top of the screen. Figure 2. shows examples of display ( 1/64 duty cycle ) when the start line = 0-3.
When the display duty cycle is 1/64 or more ( ex. 1/32, 1/24 etc. ), the data of total line number of LCD
screen, from the line specified by display start line instruction, is displayed

Busy
When busy is 1, the LSI is executing internal operations. No instruction are accepted while busy is 1, so
you should make sure that busy is 0 before writing the next instruction.
ON/OFF

Shows the liquid crystal display condition: on condition or off condition.

When on/off is 1, the display is in off condition.
When on/off is 0, the display is in on condition
RESET
RESET = 1 shows that the system is being initialized. In this condition, no instructions except status
read can be accepted.
RESET = 0 shows that initializing has system is in the usual operation condition.
