(3) 4-bpp (16-gray-level/16-color) mode

One pixel is represented by 4 bits, displayed in 16 gray levels or 16 colors.

For monochrome LCD panels, 16-gray-level display can be obtained by assigning 16 gray levels, including

black and white, to 16 entries in the green look-up table (one each for bits = "0000" to "1111").

For color LCD panels, 16 colors from among the 4,096 colors available can be set in advance using 16 entries

for pixel data "0000" to "1111" in each of the red, green, and blue look-up tables.

Data for two consecutive pixels is stored as one byte in the display memory.
