23.2.5.5 Output Format
23.2.5.5.1 Passive (STN) Mode
As shown in
, the pixel data stored in frame buffers go through palette (if applicable) and gray-
scaler/serializer before reaching the Output FIFO. As a result, it is likely that the data fed to the Output
FIFO is numerically different from the data in the frame buffers. (However, they represent the same color
or grayscale.)
The output FIFO formats the received data according to display modes (see
shows the actual data output on the external pins.
23.2.5.5.2 Active (TFT) Mode
As shown in
, the gray-scaler/serializer and output FIFO are bypassed in active (TFT) mode.
Namely, at each pixel clock, one pixel data (16 bits) is output to the external LCD.
