9.2.1 Write cycle sequence
The write cycle means that the host writes information (command or/and data) to the display via the interface. Each write
cycle (WRX high-low-high sequence) consists of 3 control signals (D/CX, RDX, WRX) and data signals (D[17:0]). D/CX bit
is a control signal, which tells if the data is a command or a data. The data signals are the command if the control signal is
low (=’0’) and vice versa it is data (=’1’).
WRX
D[17:0]
The host stops to
control D[17:0] lines.
The host starts to control D[17:0]
lines when there is a falling edge
of the WRX.
The display writes D[17:0] lines
when there is a rising edge of
WRX.

Note: WRX is an unsynchronized signal (It can be stopped).
