23.3.3 1/3 Duty and 1/3 Bias
1/3 bias is usually recommended for LCD with three common terminals (1/3 duty). Waveform is
shown in Figure 23-5. SEG0 - COM0 is the voltage across a segment that is on and SEG0-
COM1 is the voltage across a segment that is off.

23.3.4 1/4 Duty and 1/3 Bias
1/3 bias is optimal for LCD displays with four common terminals (1/4 duty). Waveform is shown
in Figure 23-6. SEG0 - COM0 is the voltage across a segment that is on and SEG0 - COM1 is
the voltage across a segment that is off.
