PRODUCTION DATA
The user must define and load the contents of the LUT for each color (R,G,B). Regardless of the color depth being driven (888, 666, 656), the user must always provide contents for 3 complete LUTs: 256 colors × 8 bits × 3 tables. Unused bits – LSBs – shall be set to 0 by the user. When 24-bit (888) input data is being driven to a 24-bit display, each LUT (R, G and B) must contain 256 unique 8-bit entries. The 8-bit white balanced data is then available at the output of the deserializer, and driven to the display.
Alternatively, with 6-bit input data the user may choose to load complete 8-bit values into each LUT. This mode of operation provides the user with finer resolution at the LUT output to more closely achieve the desired white point of the calibrated display. Although 8-bit data is loaded, only 64 unique 8-bit white balance output values are available for each color (R, G and B). The result is 8-bit white balanced data. Before driving to the output of the deserializer, the 8-bit data must be reduced to 6-bit with an FRC dithering function. To operate in this mode, the user must configure the deserializer to enable the FRC2 function.
Examples of the three types of LUT configurations described are shown in Figure 7-26.
