S1D13505 Programming Notes and Examples

Color Modes
In color display modes, depending on the color depth, 2 through 256 index entries are used.
The selection of which entries are used is automatic.
1 bpp color
When the S1D13505 is configured for 1 bpp color mode, the LUT is limited to the first two
entries. The two LUT entries can be any two RGB values but are typically set to black-and-
white.
Each byte in the display buffer contains 8 bits, each pertaining to adjacent pixels. A bit
value of '0' results in the LUT 0 index value being displayed. A bit value of '1' results in the
LUT 1 index value being displayed.
The following table shows the recommended values for obtaining a black-and-whit e mode
while in 1 bpp on a color panel.
2 bpp color
When the S1D13505 is configured for 2 bpp color mode only the first 4 entries of the LUT
are used. These four entries can be set to any desired values.
Each byte in the display buffer contains 4 adjacent pixels. Each pair of bits in the byte are
used as an index into the LUT. The following table shows example values for 2 bpp color
mode.
