Four displayed dots (or four data bits), are transferred by a single XSCL pulse. (480 dots = 4 x 120
x SCL pulses). The data bits for one entire dot line in the Y direction, are transferred in a duration
of 130 f.ls.
A pulse signal LP is generated at the came frequency as the XSCL pulse signal. This signal out-
puts the Y-line data output signal YDOO when it is activated. This causes the Y-line drive position
to be advanced by one dot to designate the next dot line.
