Read Status Byte
A 8 bits status byte will be placed to the data bus if a read operation is performed if D/C is low. The status byte is defined as follow.
Data Read / Write
To read data from the GDDRAM, input High to R/W(WR) pin and D/C pin for 6800-series parallel mode, Low to E(RD) pin and High to D/
C pin for 8080-series parallel mode. No data read is provided for serial mode. In normal mode, GDDRAM column address pointer will be
increased by one automatically after each data read. Also, a dummy read is required before the first data is read. See Figure 4 in Func-

Set Display Data Length
This command is valid only at 3-wire SPI (PS0=PS1=L)
The next command specifies the number of bytes of dis-
play data to be written after this composite command.
D(7:0)=00: 1 byte of display data is to be sent
D(7:0)=FF: 256 bytes of display data is to be sent
