LCD Timing Considerations Supplementing the graphic information he supplies on the Cybermaxx LCD timing at http://www.halted.com/online/cybermax.htm , electrical engineer Nate Caine explains the timings verbally: "As for the clock phase confusion consider this. If you carefully study the diagram, you will notice a sublte but significant detail of the way the shift registers are connected. Once shift register cell used CP1+, and CP1- for the "sample" and "hold" functions. But the similar cell that is 4 cells away is the reverse. That is, that the "shift" function is from CP1-, and the "hold" from CP1+. If you draw a timing diagram of all these phases, you'll see that what *really* happens is that it is as if there are 8 clock phases equally spaced over once cycle. But since 4 of them are 180-degrees from the other 4, Matsushita labeled them with the '"-" as opposed to naming them CP5, CP6, CP7, CP8. As shown on the diagram each sequentially samples a specific color channel onto a vertical line. At the end of the scanline, the samples are locked into the row on the display. Remember also that since the color filters are arranced in a checkboard pattern, that the clock phases on one scanline must start earlier or later from the previous scanline. Fortunately, this is all handled by the MN83803 chip."
