TFT, HR-TFT, and AD-TFT LCD panels utilize color palette RAM. For these panels, each
16-bit palette entry is composed of 5 bpp, plus a common intensity bit. In addition, the total
number of supported colors can be doubled from 32,768 to 65,536 if the Intensity bit is uti-
lized and applied simultaneously to all three color components (R, G, and B).
Table 13-5 and Table 13-6 show the bpp supported for TFT, HR-TFT, and AD-TFT panels.
Table 13-7 shows the bpp for monochrome STN panels.
NOTE: 3,375 colors = (15 RED) × (15 BLUE) × (15 GREEN).
