5.2.1 Registers
Screen 1 Start Address Registers
These three registers form the seventeen bit screen 1 start address. Screen 1 is displayed
starting at the top left corner of the display.
In landscape mode these registers form the word offset to the first byte in display memory
to be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. Changing these registers by one will
shift the display image 2 to 16 pixels, depending on the current color depth.
In portrait mode these registers form the offset to the display memory byte where screen 1
will start displaying. Changing these registers in portrait mode will result in a shift of 1 to
8 pixels depending on the color depth.
Refer to Table 5-1: “Number of Pixels Panned Using Start Address” to see the minimum
number of pixels affected by a change of one to these registers
