LCD Waveform Generation

LCD waveforms are generated so that the net AC

voltage across the dark pixel should be maximized and

the net AC voltage across the clear pixel should be

minimized. The net DC voltage across any pixel should

be zero.

The COM signal represents the time slice for each

common, while the SEG contains the pixel data.

The pixel signal (COM-SEG) will have no DC

component and it can take only one of the two rms

values. The higher rms value will create a dark pixel

and a lower rms value will create a clear pixel.

As the number of commons increases, the delta

between the two rms values decreases. The delta

represents the maximum contrast that the display can

have.

The LCDs can be driven by two types of waveform:

Type-A and Type-B. In Type-A waveform, the phase

changes within each common type, whereas in Type-B

waveform, the phase changes on each frame

boundary. Thus, Type-A waveform maintains 0 VDC

over a single frame, whereas Type-B waveform takes

two frames.

Figure 10-6 through Figure 10-16 provide waveforms

for static, half-multiplex, one-third-multiplex and

quarter-multiplex drives for Type-A and Type-B

waveforms.

TYPE-A/TYPE-B WAVEFORMS IN STATIC DRIVE

Note 1: If Sleep has to be executed with LCD

Sleep disabled (LCDCON<SLPEN> is

‘1’), then care must be taken to execute

Sleep only when VDC on all the pixels is

‘0’.

2: When the LCD clock source is FOSC/8192,

if Sleep is executed, irrespective of the

LCDCON<SLPEN> setting, the LCD goes

into Sleep. Thus, take care to see that VDC

on all pixels is ‘0’ when Sleep is executed.
