I've heard that sustained DC across an LCD unit does some kind of
electrolysis thing to the electrodes. With AC the electrolysis effects
during any half-cycle cancel out on the next half-cycle before any harm
is done, but with DC there may be a point of no return where the display
is ruined.
I would expect at least some LCD manufacturers to have something about
this up in their Web stuff. If they don't, some engineering schools might.

Hi guys,
Firts off all, thansk for your're replies. Secondly as mentioned I could
not
get my lcd working with an MSP so I choose for renesas, sorry. And that did
the trick for me very easy. But as far as understanding the whole topic..
nah. Sorry.
As far I can see the bias is indeed for setting the contrast but that is in
conjuction with the waveform. And that is where Ti could not help me,
unortunatly.
But as mentioned thanks.
b.t.w al thanks for the document I'll go though it and hopefully this will
answer my questions. Thanks guys.

Well according to some texts I have it will destroy the crystals, which
is a reasonable interpretation of making the pixels non viewable I
guess. hey, I didn't profess to be an expert.

Really? What do you mean "kill them"? I would think an improper DC
bias
MIGHT make the segments non-viewable, but not destroy the LCD.

I've just uploaded this to the files area, since a few people seem
interested.

I clicked on a number of buttons there. At first, I had no luck.
Here is one of the pages it took me to, that looked interesting
though:
http://www.tiking.com/fenlei.asp?lei=G3
One of the links takes me to an error page, namely:
http://www.tiking.com/error.asp
But after thinking about this, I realized that it is probably because
I have my security set rather high and I don't permit cookies from
anyone other than specific sites I permit, when I care to do so. So I
changed this, and that seemed to make it work.
Thanks,
Jon

Do you have a working link? I'm interested in reading a detailed
description.
(Just used google without much success -- no, I will not screw around
with alldatasheet.com to even find out.)
Thanks,
