Section 14 Dot Matrix LCD Controller
14.1
Overview
The LCD controller has built-in display RAM, and performs dot matrix LCD display. One bit of
display RAM data corresponds to illumination or non-illumination of one dot on the LCD panel,
making possible displays with an extremely high degree of freedom.
The LCD controller incorporates all the functions required for LCD display, allowing a dot matrix
display of up to 40 × 16 dots.
I/O ports are used for the interface with the CPU, offering excellent software heritability when
using a combination of MPU and LCD driver.
This module operates on the subclock, making it ideal for use in small portable devices.
