7.8Temperature compensation
Due to the temperature dependency of the liquid crystals’ viscosity, the LCD controlling voltage VLCD must be increased at lower temperatures to maintain optimum
contrast. Figure 7 shows VLCD for high multiplex rates. In the PCD8544, the temperature coefficient of VLCD, can be selected from four values (see Table 2) by setting bits TC1 and TC0.
