Note:
Red bit 11, green bits 6, 5 and blue bit 0 are not used as image
data and are ignored. The 16-bit STN resolution is equal to the
12-bit STN resolution (3375 colors)

16 BPP STN Mode (STN_565)
The STN_565 bit is relevant only if TFT_STN = 0, but has no effect in 1-, 2-, 4- and 8-BPP modes. If
STN_565 = 0, the frame buffer organization is in 12 BPP mode. In this mode, each color component is
encoded in 4 bits, as shown in

If STN_565 = 1 , the 16-bit STN mode is selected .The only difference from the 12 BPP mode is how the
pixel data is organized in the frame buffer and which bits are sent to the dither logic. The 16-bit STN mode
appears in frame buffer memory as shown in

The 16-bit STN mode only sends 12 bits to the dithering logic as well as the 12-BPP STN mode. The LSB
bit of the red component (bit 11), the two LSBs of green (bits 6 and 5), and the LSB of blue (bit 0) are not
sent to the dithering logic, as shown in
.
