Is there any way I can make the displayed text blink?

I am using PIC16f887

Thanks

 

One way, if the LCD driver doesn't support flashing tyext, is to simply display the text, wait a short time (1/2 sec ?), overwrite the text with blanks, wait a short time (1/2 sec ?) and repeat.

 

I am using Assembly language

Its a LUMEX LCD

LCM-S01602DSF/A

Still not figured out the blinking text

I have configured a port such that as soon as the port bit is set I display a number on the LCD

I have displayed the number correctly

I need to make that number blinking

Part of the relevant code is as follows:

movlw 0x8A
movwf PORTD
call SND_CMD //SND_CMD is writing command to LCD

movf count304,0
movwf PORTD
call SND_DTA //SND_DTA is writing data to LCD

It works fine

Just that somehow I need to make that counter value blink

I tried using the control codes 0x08 and 0x0C but to no effect

If anyone has an idea please let me know

Thanks​
