4 bpp color
When the S1D13705 is configured for 4 bpp color mode, the displayed colors are selected
from the first sixteen entries of the Look-Up Table. The LUT entries may be set to any of
the 4096 possible colors.
Each byte in the display buffer contains two adjacent pixels. If a nibble has a value of
“0000” then the color in LUT index 0 is displayed. A nibble value of “0001” results in the
color in LUT index 1 being displayed. The pattern continues to the nibble pattern of “1111”
which results in the sixteenth color of the Look-Up Table being displayed.
The following table shows the example values for 4 bit-per-pixel display mode. These
colors simulate the colors used by the sixteen color modes of a VGA.
