Figure 4 shows a basic 2-mux example. Each segment is controlled by signals on 2 pins in this case – a COMx pin and an Sx segment pin. The signals shown are the waveforms applied on the electrodes for the segment, so the potential difference between the Sx and COMx signal is what is being applied to the liquid crystals in that area. This potential difference is what is shown as the voltage in the resultant waveforms in Figure 4 (COM0-S0, and COM1-S1).
In this example, the COM0-S0 waveform has a high RMS voltage so the segment is on even though the waveform has a net zero DC voltage. The COM1-S1 waveform has a low RMS voltage, so it is off. While the waveforms may look complex, remember that they are generated automatically by the MSP430 LCD module – the user just has to specify the basic settings of the LCD, and then indicate which segments should be on or off.
