Set the moving direction of cursor and display.
I/D: Increment/decrement of DDRAM address (cursor or blink)
When I/D=High, cursor/blink moves to right and DDRAM address is increased by 1.
When I/D=low, cursor/blink moves to left and DDRAM address is decreased by 1.
*CGRAM operates the same as DDRAM, when reading from or writing to CGRAM.
SH: Shift of entire display
When DDRAM read (CGRAM read/write) operation or SH=”Low”, shifting of entire display is not
performed. If SH=High, and DDRAM write operation, shift of entire display is performed according to
I/D value(I/D=High, shift left, I/D=Low, shift right).

When C=High, cursor is turned on.
When C=Low, cursor is disappeared in current display, but I/D register preserves its data.
B: Cursor Blink ON/OFF control bit
When B=High, cursor blink is on ,which performs alternately between all the high data and display
characters at the cursor position. When B=Low, Blink is off.

Shifting of right/left cursor position or display without writing or reading of display data. This
instruction is used to correct or search display data. During 2-line mode display ,cursor moves to the
2nd line after the 40th digit of the 1st line. Note that display shift is performed simultaneously in all the
lines. When displayed data is shifted repeatedly, each line is shifted individually. When display shift is
performed, the contents of the address counter are not changed.

Write binary 8-bit data to DDRAM/CGRAM. The selection of RAM from DDRAM, and CGRAM, is
set by the previous address set instruction(DDRAM address set, CGRAM address set). RAM set
instruction can also determine the AC direction to RAM. After write operation, the address is
automatically increased/decreased by 1, according the entry mode.

Read binary 8-bit data from DDRAM/CGRAM. The selection of RAM is set by the previous address
set instruction. If the address set instruction of RAM is not performed before this instruction, the data
that has been read first is invalid, as the direction of AC is not yet determined. If RAM data is read
several times without RAM address instructions set before read operation, the correct RAM data can be
obtained from the second. But the first data would be incorrect, as there is no time margin to transfer
RAM data. In case of DDRAM read operation, cursor shift instruction plays the same role as DDRAM
address set instruction, it also transfers RAM data to output data register. After read operation, address
counter is automatically increased/decreased by 1 according to the entry mode.
After CGRAM read operation, display shift may not be executed correctly.
Note:
In case of RAM write operation, AC is increased/decreased by 1 as in read operation. At this time, AC

indicates the next address position, but only the previous data can be read by the read instruction.

15. PRECAUTION
FOR
USING LCM
1. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
LCD is made up of glass, organic sealant, organic fluid, and polymer based polarizers. The following
precautions should be taken when handing,
(1). Keep the temperature within range of use and storage. Excessive temperature and humidity could
cause polarization degradation, polarizer peel off or bubble.
(2). Do not contact the exposed polarizers with anything harder than an HB pencil lead. To clean dust
off the display surface. Wipe gently with cotton. Chamois or other soft material soaked in petroleum
benzine.
(3). Wipe off saliva or water drops immediately. Contact with water over a long period of time may
cause polarizer deformation or color fading, while an active LCD with water condensation on its
surface will cause corrosion of ITO electrodes.
(4). Glass can be easily chipped or cracked from rough handing. especially at corners and edges.
(5). Do not drive LCD with DC voltage.
2. Liquid Crystal Display Modules
2.1 Mechanical Considerations
LCM are assembled and adjusted with a high degree of precision. Avoid excessive shocks and do not
make any alterations or modifications. The following should be noted.
(1). Do not tamper in any way with the tabs on the tabs on the metal frame.
(2). Do not modify the PCB by drilling extra holes, changing its outline, moving its components or
modifying its pattern.
(3). Do not touch the elastomer connector, especially insert an backlight panel (for example, EL).
(4). When mounting a LCM make sure that the PCB is not under any tress such as bending or
twisting. Elastomer contacts are very delicate and missing pixels could result from slight dislocation of
any of the elements.
(5). Avoid pressing on the metal bezel, otherwise the elastomer connector could be deformed and lose
contact, resulting in missing pie ls.
2.2. Static Electricity
LCM contains CMOS LSI’s and the same precaution for such devices should apply, namely
(1). The operator should be grounded whenever he/she comes into contact with the module. Never
touch any of the conductive parts such as the LSI pads, the copper leads on the PCB and the interface
terminals with any parts of the human body.
(2). The modules should be kept in antistatic bags or other containers resistant to static for storage.
(3). Only properly grounded soldering irons should be used.
(4). If an electric screwdriver is used, it should be well grounded and shielded from commutator
sparks.
(5). The normal static prevention measures should be observed for work clothes and working benches;
for the latter conductive ( rubber) mat is recommended.
(6). Since dry air is inductive to static, a relative humidity of 50-60% is recommended.
2.3. Soldering
(1). Solder only to the I/O terminals.
(2). Use only soldering irons with proper grounding and no leakage.
(3). Soldering temperature: 280 ℃±10℃
(4). Soldering time: 3 to 4 sec.
(5). Use eutectic solder with resin flux fill.
(6). If flux is used, the LCD surface should be covered to avoid flux spatters. Flux residue should be
removed after wards.
2.4. Operation
(1). The viewing angle can be adjusted by varying the LCD driving voltage V0.
(2). Driving voltage should be kept within specified range; excess voltage shortens display life.
(3). Response time increases with decrease in temperature.
(4). Display may turn black or dark blue at temperatures above its operational range; this is (however

not pressing on the viewing area) may cause the segments to appear “fractured”.
(5). Mechanical disturbance during operation (such as pressing on the viewing area) nay cause the
segments to appear “fractured”.
2.5. Storage
If any fluid leaks out of a damaged glass cell, wash off any human part that comes into contact with
soap and water. Never swallow the fluid. The toxicity is extremely low but caution should be exercised
at all the time.
