8.7.2 Bank select commands
For multiplex drive modes 1:4, 1:2, and static drive mode, it is possible to write data to one
area of the RAM while displaying from another. These areas are named as RAM banks.
Input and output banks can be set independently from one another with the
Input-bank-select and the Output-bank-select command. More information about RAM
bank switching can be found in Section 8.14.3 on page 59.
