Dithering
The dithering block is used to generate the shades of gray or color when the LCD Controller is
used with an STN LCD Module. It uses a time-based dithering algorithm and Frame Rate Con-
trol method.
The Frame Rate Control varies the duty cycle for which a given pixel is turned on, giving the dis-
play an appearance of multiple shades. In order to reduce the flicker noise caused by turning on
and off adjacent pixels at the same time, a time-based dithering algorithm is used to vary the
pattern of adjacent pixels every frame. This algorithm is expressed in terms of Dithering Pattern
registers (DP_i) and considers not only the pixel gray level number, but also its horizontal
coordinate.
Table 38-7
Table 38-7.
The duty cycles for gray levels 0 and 15 are 0 and 1, respectively.
The same DP_i register can be used for the pairs for which the sum of duty cycles is 1 (e.g., 1/7
and 6/7). The dithering pattern for the first pair member is the inversion of the one for the
second.
The DP_i registers contain a series of 4-bit patterns. The (3-m)
pixel with horizontal coordinate x = 4n + m (n is an integer and m ranges from 0 to 3) should be
turned on or off in the current frame. The operation is shown by the examples below.
Consider the pixels a, b, c and d with the horizontal coordinates 4*n+0, 4*n+1, 4*n+2 and 4*n+3,
respectively. The four pixels should be displayed in gray level 9 (duty cycle 3/5) so the register
used is DP3_5 =”1010 0101 1010 0101 1111”.
