In this post I will explain how I created the dithered images I use on black and white displays, as shown below:

The original.jpg ...
Convert the image to gray scale:
convert original.jpg \\
        -set colorspace Gray -separate -average \\
        original_gray.png
Convert an image to gray scale and dither it:
convert original.jpg \\
        -set colorspace Gray -separate -average \\
        -ordered-dither h6x6a \\
        original_dither_h6x6a.png
Conver an image to gray scale and dither it (fine):
convert original.jpg \\
        -set colorspace Gray -separate -average \\
        -ordered-dither h4x4a \\
        original_dither_h4x4a.png
Conver an image to gray scale and dither it (fine) and crop to the right resolution:
convert original.jpg \\
        -set colorspace Gray -separate -average \\
        -ordered-dither h4x4a \\
        -thumbnail 264x176^ -gravity center -extent 264x176 \\
        original_dither_h4x4a_crop.png

The final step is to create the array of bits:

convert original.jpg \\
    -set colorspace Gray -separate -average \\
    -ordered-dither h4x4a \\
    -thumbnail 264x176^ -gravity center -extent 264x176 \\
    original_dither_h4x4a_crop.xbm

Resulting original_dither_h4x4a_crop.xbm:

#define original_dither_h4x4a_crop_width 264
#define original_dither_h4x4a_crop_height 176
static char original_dither_h4x4a_crop_bits[] = {
  0x11, 0x71, 0x66, 0x66, 0x66, 0xE6, 0xCC, 0xCC, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00,
  0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x60, 0xDE,
  0xDD, 0xDD, 0xD9, 0x99, 0x99, 0x99, 0x39, 0x33, 0x33, 0x00, 0x80, 0x99,
  // truncated 477 lines

  0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x62, 0xEC, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xBF, 0xBB,
  0xBB, 0x7B, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
  };
