OPERATING PRINCIPLES & METHODS

1. I/O Buffer
Input buffer controls the status between the enable and disable of chip. Unless the CS1B to CS3 is in active mode,
Input or output of data and instr uction does not execute. Therefore internal state is not change. But RSTB and
ADC can operate regardless CS!B -CS3.

2. Input register
Input register is provided to interface with MPU which is different operating frequency. Input register stores the
data temporarily before writing it into display RAM.
When CS1B to CS3 are in the active mode, R/W and RS select the input register. The data from MPU is written
into input register. Then writing it into display RAM. Data latched for falling of the E signal and write
automatically into the display data RAM by internal operation.

3. Output register
Output register stores the data temporarily from display data RAM when CS1B, CS2B and CS3 are in active
mode and R/W and RS=H, stored data in display data RAM is latched in out put register. When CS1B to CS3 is in
active mode and R/W=H , RS=L, status data (busy check) can read out.
To read the contents of display data RAM, twice access of read instruction is needed. In first access, data in
display data RAM is latched into output register. In second access, MPU can read data which is latched. That is to
read the data in display data RAM, it needs dummy read. But status read is not needed dummy read.

4. Reset
The system can be initialized by setting RSTB terminal at low level when turning power on, receiving instruction
from MPU. When RSTB becomes low, followi ng procedure is occurred.

fCLK is CLK1, CLK2 Frequency

6. Display On/Off Flip-Flop

The display on/off flip-flop makes on/off the liquid crystal display. When flip -flop is reset (logical low), selective
voltage or non selective voltage appears on segment output terminals. When flip -flop is set (logic high), non
selective voltage appears on segment output terminals regardless of display RAM data.
The display on/off flip-flop can changes status by instruction. The display data at all segment disappear while
RSTB is low.
The status of the flip-flop is output to DB5 by status read instruction.
The display on/off flip-flop synchronized by CL signal.

7. X Page Register
X page register designates pages of the internal display data RAM.
Count function is not available. An address is set by instruction.

ADC=H => Y-address 0: S1~Y address 63: S64
ADC=L => Y-address 0: S64~Yaddress 63: S1
ADC terminal connect the V DD or VSS.

10. Display Start Line Register

The display start line register indicates of display data RAM to display top line of liquid crystal display.
Bit data (DB<0.5>) of the display start line set instruction is latched in display start line register. Latched data is
transferred to the Z address counter while FRM is high, presetting the Z address counter.
It is used for scrolling of the liquid crystal display screen.

LCM Operation Precautions

(1) It is an indispensable condition to drive LCD within the specified voltage limit since the higher voltage than the
limit causes the shorter LCD life. An electrochemical reaction due to direct current causes LCD's undesirable
deterioration, so that the use of direct current driver should be avoided.
(2) Response time will be extremely delayed at lower temperature than the specified operating temperature range
and on the other hand LCD's show dark blue color in the higher temperature. However, those phenomena do not
mean any malfunction or display out of order with LCD's, which will come back in the specified operation
temperature range.
(3) If the display area is pushed hard during operation, some font s will be abnormally displayed. But it resumes
normal condition after turning off once.
(4) A slight dew depositing on terminals could be a cause for electrochemical reaction resulting in terminal open
circuit.
(5) Display contrast varies with the change of liquid crystal driving voltag e (VO). Adjust V O to show the best
contrast.
(6) Condensation on terminals can cause an electrochemical reaction disrupting the terminal circuit. Therefore, it is
suggested to use the LCD under the relative condition of 40°C, 85% RH.
(7) When turning the power on, input each signal after the positive/negative voltage becomes stable.

(8) The backlight must be operated within the condition of specification. The overload current or too high voltage
will reduce the life time or destroy the backlight.

Handing Precautions
(1) The display panel is made of glass. Do not subject it to a mechanical shock by dropping it or impact.
(2) If the display panel is damaged and the liquid crystal substance leaks out, be sure not to get any in your mouth.
If the substance contacts your skin or clothes, wash it off using soap and water.
(3) Do not apply excessive force to the display surface or the adjoining areas 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. Please handle the
polarizer carefully.
(5) If the display surface becomes contaminated, breathe on the surface and gently wipe it with a soft dry cloth. If it

Ver:A 12 200 8.09.11

ADM12864H
is
heavily contaminated, moisten cloth with one of the following solve nts :
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Ethyl alcohol
(6) Solvents other than those above -mentioned may damage the polarizer. Especially, do not use the following.
- Water
- Ketone
- Aromatic solvents
(7) Exercise care to minimize corrosion of the electrode. Corrosion of the electrodes is accelerated by water
droplets, moisture condensation or a current flow in a high -humidity environment.
(8) Install the LCD Module by using the mounting holes. When mounting the LCD module make sure it is free of
twisting, warping and distortion. In particular, do not forcibly pull or bend the IO cable or the backlight cable.
(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 n ot 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 modules.
- Tools required for assembling, such as solderin g irons, must be properly grounded.
- To reduce the amount of static electricity generated, do not conduct assembling 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.

Installing Precautions
The hole in the printed circuit board is used to fix LCM as shown in the picture below. Attend to the following items
when installing the LCM.
(1) Cover the surface with a transparent protective plate to protect the polarizer and LC cell.

(2) When assembling the LCM into other equipment, the spacer to the bit between the LCM and the fitting plate
should have enough height to avoid causing stress to the module surface, r efer to the individual specifications for
measurements. The measurement tolerance should be 0.1mm.

Ver:A 13 200 8.09.11

ADM12864H

Storage Precautions
In case of storing for a long period of time for the purpose of replacement use, the following ways are
recommended.
(1) Storage in a polyethylene bag with the opening sealed so as not to enter fresh air outside in it, and with no
desiccant.
(2) Placing in a dark place where neither exposure to direct sunlight nor light is, keeping temperature in the range
from -30°C to 80°C
(3) Storing with no touch on polarizer surface by anything else. (It is recommended to store them as they have
been contained in the inner container at the time of delivery from us.)

Safety
(1) It is recommended to crush damaged or unnecessary LCDs into pieces and wa sh them off with solvents such
as acetone and ethanol, which should later be burned.
(2) If any liquid leaks out of a damaged glass cell and comes in contact with the hands, wash off thoroughly with
soap and water.

Others

Liquid crystals solidify under low temperature (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 module is subject to a low
temperature. 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 no ted that this
phenomenon does not adversely affect performance reliability. To minimize the performance degradation of the
LCD modules resulting from destruction caused by static electricity
etc., exercise care to avoid holding the following sections when handling the modules.
- Exposed area of the printed circuit board.
- Terminal electrode sections.
