Hello to all, I am reading this list from time to time and it helps great in my designs... Now I am trying to design an lcd 7 segment display system with HD66100 from hitachi (the former product was HD44100 but they say that it does not exist anymore)and pic 16f84.the disp device has M clock input for lcd pulses a shift register for seg. data and a latch .I wish to shift in the data and then latch it ,afterwards forget about the display say one hour. but I am confused from the technical manual and got the impression that I have to refresh the data in relation with the M and CL1 pulse. Does anyone used this display driver before in this way?can I use it like this ?or do I have to refresh data periodically to have a stable lcd view..? If anyone has an answer for this problem I will appreciate very much Best regars to all...
