4.6.3 Mask option
(1) Segment allocation
As shown in Figure 4.l.1, display data is decided by the data written to the display memory at address
40H–6FH or C0H–EFH.
The mask option enables the display memory to be allocated entirely to either 40H–6FH (R/W) or
C0H–EFH (W only).
The address and bits of the display memory can be made to correspond to the segment terminals
(SEG0–SEG37) in any combination through mask option. This simplifies design by increasing the
degree of freedom with which the liquid crystal panel can be designed.
Figure 4.6.3.1 shows an example of the relationship between the LCD segments (on the panel) and the
display memory (when 40H–6FH is selected) in the case of 1/3 duty.

(2) Drive duty
According to the mask option, either 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2 duty can be selected as the LCD drive duty.
Table 4.6.3.1 shows the differences in the number of segments according to the selected duty.
