Abstract
Techniques for generating dithered images for display on electronic paper displays set to one-bit display modes are described herein. An electronic device having an electronic paper display sets a display mode parameter associated with the electronic paper display to a one-bit display mode. The electronic device or a remote service further generates a dithered image from a monochrome image based at least in part on a one-bit dithering algorithm. While the display mode parameter is set to the one-bit display mode, the electronic device then displays the dithered image on the electronic paper display.
