Temperature coefficients
As the viscosity, and therefore the contrast, of the LCD are subject to change with
temperature, the LCD voltage must be varied with temperature. STE2004S provides eight
different temperature coefficients to change the VLCD in a linear fashion against
temperature. selectable through T2, T1 and T0 bits. Only four of the temperature coefficients
are available through the basic instruction set.

Finally, the VLCD voltage at a given (T) temperature can be calculated as:
VLCD(T) = VLCDo · [1 + (T-To) · TC]
