36.6.2.8 Buffer Driving Time

The driving time feature may prevent DC voltage across the panel when there are significant differences in size between pixels and thus different capacitor values associated with each pixel.

When driving time is disabled (SLCDC_MR.BUFTIME=0), the charge and discharge period observed across the common and segments may be significant and may affect the display contrast.

Enabling the driving time feature reduces this period and leads to a reduced impedance of the driver for the configured period. However, this results inan increase in power consumption and thus it is recommended to reduce the period to the minimum acceptable.

In many cases, the driving time can be disabled.
