Universal LCD low multiplex driver with 6 channel PWM generator
8.5 LCD drive mode waveforms
8.5.1 1:4 Multiplex drive mode
When four backplanes are provided in the LCD, the 1:4 multiplex drive mode applies, as
shown in Figure 15. This drawing is also showing the case of line inversion (see
Section 8.1.4.2).
