7-3-2-3) MCU Serial Interface (3-wire SPI) 
The 3-wire serial interface consists of serial clock SCL, serial data SDA and CSB. 
In 3-wire SPI mode, D0 acts as SCL, D1 acts as SDA, The pin DC can be connected to an external ground. 
The operation is similar to 4-wire serial interface while DC pin is not used. There are altogether 9-bits will be shifted into the shift register 
on every ninth clock in sequence: DC bit, D7 to D0 bit. The DC bit (first bit of the sequential data) will determine the following data byte 
in shift register is  written to the  Display  Data RAM (DC  bit  =  1)  or the  command  register (DC bit  = 0).Under serial  mode,  only  write 
operations are allowed.
