Note : X = Don't care
DL : Sets interface data lenght.
     DL = 1, Data is sent or received in 8 bit lenght
             ( DB7 - DB0 )
     DL = 0, Data is sent or received in 4 bit lenght
             ( DB7 - DB4 )
     When the 4 bit lenght is selected, data must be sent
     or recived twice.

Entry Mode Set
Sets the increment/ Decrement and Shift modes to the desired settigs

I/D
S
 
I/D : Increment/ Decrement the DDRAM address by 1 when a
      character code is writen into or read from the DDRAM
      I/D = "0", Decrement
      I/D = "1", Increment
S   : Shift the entire display either to the right or to
      left.
      S = 1, shift to right or left depent on I/D
      S = 0, display does not shift

D : Controlling display
    D = 1, Display is ON
    D = 0, Display is OFF
    In this case display data remains in the DDRAM. It can
    be displayed immediately by setting D = 1.
C : Display cursor
    C = 1, Cursor is Displayed
    C = 0, Cursor does not display
B : The character indicated by the cursor blinks when B=1
