14.10.5 Eight-time-slice display example 
Figure 14-41 shows how the 15x8 dot LCD panel having the display pattern shown in Figure 14-40 is connected to the 
segment signals (SEG4 to SEG18) and the common signals (COM0 to COM7). This example displays data “123” in the 
LCD panel. The contents of the display data register (addresses F0404H to F0412H) correspond to this display. 
The following description focuses on numeral “3.” ( ) displayed in the first digit.  To display “3.” in the LCD panel, it is 
necessary to apply the select or deselect voltage to the SEG4 to SEG8 pins according to Table 14-19 at the timing of the 
common signals COM0 to COM7; see Figure 14-40 for the relationship between the segment signals and LCD segments.

According to Table 14-19, it is determined that the display data register location (F0404H) that corresponds to SEG4 
must contain 00110001. 
Figure 14-42 shows examples of LCD drive waveforms between the SEG4 signal and each common signal. When the 
select voltage is applied to SEG4 at the timing of COM0, a waveform is generated to turn on the corresponding LCD 
segment.
