Storing the framebuffer. Most graphical LCDs do not contain any memory, you have to send them every pixel, one after the other, all the time, just like driving a VGA monitor, only you send the digital values (no need for a DAC). > Would you > need less if it's monographic? Yup, since each pixel would need less information (i.e. 8 bit grey vs. 24 bit colour).
