34 x 128 pixel matrix driver
9.7 Set bias system
The bias voltage levels are set in the ratio of R − R − n × R − R − R (see Figure 11).

Different multiplex rates require different bias settings. Bias settings are programmed by
BS[2:0], which sets the binary number n. The optimum value for n is given by:
n = muxrate – 3
Supported values of n are given in Table 8. Table 9 shows the intermediate bias voltages.
