Driving LCD (Raster mode) with 1 BPP source+output pallette

Hello

I think what I want to do isn't possible without substantial effort but I figure I'll ask anyway.

I want to drive an LCD in raster mode (it's the only option for this specific LCD) and only use 1 data bit clocked out to the device.  Basically I'm trying to drive an LCD without having to use external SRAM but the display's resolution is 800 x 480 and I can't think of a simple way to do this from what I've read in the documentation.  From my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) I can't just clock out one bit to the data lines with 1 byte in memory being clocked out over 8 cycles, the implication being that the expanded data buffer that gets clocked out is at least my resolution in with one byte representing one pixel; not 1 byte able to represent 8 pixels.

Basically I'm trying to see if I can drive this display without using external SRAM because we're trying to get the board as simple as possible (even though it'll be a BGA for the display control) - the LCD is capable of 24-bit RGB (RGB888 interface) but we don't care about the color so I'm tying all the data lines together since I only need a b/w display + clock + H + V sync + data bus.

Thanks
