Display Control Commands
Display control commands are input as serial data in 8-bit units. Commands consist of a first byte that includes the
command identifier code and data in the following second byte. The LC74723 supports the following six commands.
1. COMMAND0: Set display memory (VRAM) write address
2. COMMAND1: Set up display character data write
3. COMMAND2: Set vertical display start position and vertical character size
4. COMMAND3: Set horizontal display start position and horizontal character size
5. COMMAND4: Display control
6. COMMAND5: Display control
Display Control Command Table
Once written, the command identifier code in the first byte is stored until the next first byte is written. However, when
the display character data write command (COMMAND1) is written, the LC74723 locks into the display character data
write mode, and another first byte cannot be written.
When a high level is input to the CS pin, the LC74723 is set to COMMAND0 (display memory write address setting
mode).
