Let's assume that we've written to bits 0 - 7 in word line "0". To read the bits, follow the steps below.

Step 1 - Turn on the high voltage for the wordline you wish to read.

Step 2 - Turning the wordline on allows the microprocessor to read the contents of all the cells, and it translates the pattern of 1's and 0's into the proper character on the display.

While processing information can be quite an exacting task, it is not so complicated when processing just a word or two.
