Self-Test Mode
The display will enter the self-test mode if all seven video inputs (VCLK, HS, VS,
and VID0 through VID3) are high for longer then 2.5 seconds at power up. The
self-test scans at 100 Hz with a diagonal pattern that changes back and forth every
2.5 seconds from 3 pixels on/1 pixel off to 1 pixel on/3 pixels off.
After the self-test, turn the display off and wait at least 15 seconds before
reapplying power to allow the internal capacitors to completely discharge. When
you turn the display on again, apply video signals in less than 2.5 seconds after
power up to enter normal operation.
