The size of the pixel encoding is increased in TFT mode because the LCD
dither logic is bypassed (which only supports 3-bit RGB dithering). Increasing
the size of the pixel representation allows a total of 64K colors to be addressed
using an off-chip palette that is used in conjunction with the LCD controller.
LCD Monochrome (LCDBW)
The color/monochrome select (LCDBW) bit is used to determine whether the
LCD controller operates in color or monochrome mode.
When LCDBW = 0:
-
Color mode is selected.
-
Palette entries are 12 bits wide (4 bits per color).
-
All three dither blocks are used: one each for the red, green, and blue pixel
components.
-
Palette entries are 4 bits wide (15 levels of grayscale).
-
Four or eight data lines are enabled.
