4.2 Look-Up Table Organization
The Look-Up Table treats the value of a pixel as an index into an array of colors or gray
shades. For example, a pixel value of zero would point to the first LUT entry; a pixel
value of 7 would point to the eighth LUT entry.
The value inside each LUT entry represents the intensity of the given color or gray
shade. This intensity can range in value between 0 and 0Fh.
The S1D13505 Look-Up Table is linear; increasing the LUT entry number results in a
lighter color or gray shade. For example, a LUT entry of 0Fh into the red LUT entry wil l
result in a bright red output while a LUT entry of 5 would result in a dull red.

* On an active matrix panel the effective colors are determined by the interface width. (i.e. 9-bit=512, 12-bit=4096, 18-
bit=64K colors) Passive panels are limited to 12-bits through the Frame Rate Modulator.
