From a photo of the T6963C pins 3,6,7,9 are tied together, it is not apparent whether they go to Vdd or Vss. If its Vss then max vertical resolution would be 64 v-dots, which seems a bit small for a 95mm high display, so I'll assume they're all tied to Vdd.

⇒ 80 to 128, from the physical size most likely 16 lines (128 vertical dot resolution)

=32 character columns (or this would give 80 columns if they're tied low, a bit excessive for this width display and not enough control chips to handle it )

FS191

not sure what FS0 connects to, if Vdd then 5×8 font ⇒ 160 horizontal dots, if Vss then 6×8 font ⇒196 horizontal dots.
