SBLCDA4 & MSP430F4784

Hello!

I have some problems with leading out information on the SBLCDA4 in dynamic mode. LCD blinks permanently with some frequency. I connected LCD in appliance with examples of TI and used firmware from official site of TI. Have You ever seen this problem and how can we solve it?

I used this code 

//******************************************************************************
// MSP430x47xx Demo - LCD_A Put "0123456" on SBLCDA4 LCD
//
// Description; Put "0123456" on SBLCDA4 LCD.
// ACLK = LFXT1 = 32768, MCLK = SMCLK = DCO = 32xACLK = 1.048576MHz
// //*An external watch crystal is required on XIN/XOUT for ACLK*//
//
