6.2.16 SET CONTRAST
Using the Set contrast command (SETCON) the VLCD voltage and the contrast of the LCD can be adjusted. The influence
of the VCON[6:0] register on the VLCD programming is explained in Section 6.2.31. The VCON[6:0] is a twos complement
number; see Table 26. An overview over the complete programming range of VLCD can be found in Section 15.1.

6.2.17 DISPLAY OFF
The Display off command (DISPOFF) connects all rows and columns to VSS1, i.e. all the pixels have a voltage of 0 V.
Since the reset state of the PCF8833 is Sleep_IN (see Section 6.2.8) the display will be in the off state after a reset.
The DISPOFF command can be switched off by sending the Display on command (DISPON); see Section 6.2.18.
Figure 7 shows the effects of the combination of commands BSTRON and BSTROFF with DISPON and DISPOFF.

6.2.18 DISPLAY ON
Using the Display on command (DISPON) the rows and columns are driven according to the current display data RAM
content and according to the display timing and settings.
The DISPON command is used to exit the DISPOFF state; see Section 6.2.17.
Figure 4 gives additional information on the effect of the DISPON/DISPOFF command. Figure 7 shows the effects of the
combination of commands BSTRON and BSTROFF with DISPON and DISPOFF.
