Usage
display.clear()
Details
This function switches to the user screen and then clears the display.
The display.clear(), display.setcursor(), and display.settext() functions are overlapped,
nonblocking commands. That is, the script does not wait for one of these commands to complete. These
nonblocking functions do not immediately update the display. For performance considerations, they update the
physical display as soon as processing time becomes available.
