297	  Most LCDs use a standard controller which supports hardware lines of 40
298	  characters, although sometimes only 16, 20 or 24 of them are really wired
299	  to the terminal. This results in some non-visible but addressable characters,
300	  and is the case for most parallel LCDs. Other LCDs, and some serial ones,
301	  however, use the same line width internally as what is visible. The KS0074
302	  for example, uses 16 characters per line for 16 visible characters per line.
