CHARACTER MODULE INITIALIZATION Internal Reset Circuit The module is automatically initialized when the power is applied. The following commands are executed during initialization. The busy flag is kept in the busy state until initialization is complete. The busy state lasts for 1 ms after V DD reaches 4.5 volts. 1) Clear Display 2) Function set DL=1...8-bit data length for interface N=...Single-line display F=...5x7 dot matrix character font 3) Display ON/OFF Control D=...Display OFF C=...Cursor OFF B=...Blink function OFF 4) Entry Mode Set I/D=1...Increment Mode S=...Display shift OFF NOTE: If the following power conditions are not satisfied, the internal reset circuit does not function properly.

Do not use acetone, toluene, ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. Contact with water for a long period of time may damage the display. SAFETY The toxicity of liquid crystal fluid is very low, but wash it off immediately with soap and water if fluid touches the skin or clothing. HANDLING Do not touch display area with bare hands. Do not touch exposed polarizer with hard objects. Do not expose the CMOS IC s to static electricity. Avoid exposing the module to excessive shock or pressure. Do not allow the storage temperature to exceed the specified range. Page 46

It is recommended that the product be designed so that the EL back light is not left on continuously. This will greatly extend the lifo of the back light element. 2. Usable lifetime of the back light is reached when the light output reaches 5% of the original brightness. POWER SUPPLY SEQUENCING (Graphics Modules Only) The power supply voltages should be sequenced according to the following timing diagram. This will insure that the internal electronics have time to begin operation before the negative voltage is applied. The sequence of events should be as follows: Apply V DD first. When V DD is stable at 5v, apply the input signals and then apply V L /V EE. The shut down sequence is exactly the opposite. Failure to follow this procedure may result in permanent damage to the LCD fluid or to the CMOS electronics on the module. 1 second min 1second min V DD 5v v INPUT SIGNALS to 5mS 5v v - 5mS V L /V EE v Minus v sec min sec min NOTICE: Specifications in this catalog are subject to change without notice.
