Now all we have to do is agree on what what we want to call that sequence. If the device had a hardware input to achieve the same result it would probably be called 'reset'. . . .
I would called it "soft reset". During the power up the LCD does hard reset by itself. After the power up, if you reset just an arduino you have to do the "soft reset" or turn off/on screen manually to trigger the hard reset.
