The LUT address register selects which of the 256 LUT entries will be accessed. Writing
to this register will select the red bank. After three successive reads or writes to the data
register (REG[1E4h]) this register is automatically incremented by one.

This register is where the 4-bit red/green/blue data is written to/read from. With each
successive read or write the internal bank select is incremented. Three successive reads
from this register will result in reading the red, then the green, and finally the blue values
associated with the index set in the LUT address register.
After the third read the LUT address register is incremented and the internal bank select
points to the red bank again.
4.2 Look-Up Table Organization
• The Look-Up Table treats the value of a pixel as an index into an array of colors or gray
shades. For example, a pixel value of zero would point to the first LUT entry, whereas a
pixel value of seven would point to the eighth LUT entry.
• The value contained in each LUT entry represents the intensity of the given color or
gray shade. This intensity can range in value between 0 and 0Fh.
• The S1D13506 Look-Up Table is linear. This means increasing the LUT entry number
results in a lighter color or gray shade. For example, a LUT entry of 0Fh in the red bank
results in bright red output while a LUT entry of 05h results in dull red.
