+/** Represents a LCD instance.
+ *
+ * This is the utility class, through which the display can be manipulated
+ * and graphics objects can be shown to the user.  A known display, which
+ * works with this library is the ITDB02-1.8SP from iTeadStudio - a RGB TFT
+ * with 128x160 pixels resolution and 262K colors, using serail interface.
+ *
+ * The display needs 5 or 6 pins to work with mbed, uses +3.3V for backlight,
+ * power and logic, thus can be interfaced directly to the mbed kit without
+ * the need of shields or level shifters as with Arduino.
+ *
+ * How to use:
+ * \code
+ * // include the library, this will also pull in the header for the provided fonts
+ * #include "st7735.h"
+ * 
+ * // create the lcd instance
+ * ST7735_LCD lcd( p14, p13, p12, p11, p10 ); // control pins
+ *
+ * int main()
+ * {
+ *     // initialize display - place it in standard portrait mode and set background to black and
+ *     //                      foreground to white color.
+ *     lcd.Initialize();
+ *     // set current font to the smallest 8x12 pixels font.
+ *     lcd.SetFont( Font8x12 );
+ *     // print something on the screen
+ *     lcd.Print( "Hello, World!", CENTER, 25 ); // align text to center horizontally and use starndard colors
+ *
+ *     while ( 1 ) { }
+ * }
+ *
+ * \endcode
+ * \version 0.1
