56.3: Invited Paper: New Color Rendering Standards and Implications for Displays that Provide Illumination: The Promise and Peril of Solid State Lighting

Abstract

As displays become larger and more efficient, they may come to provide illumination as well as imagery. This will require reconciling a conflict between color gamut and color rendering. Standards for color rendering are also evolving, and this should be taken into account in the optimization of displays that are intended to serve these two purposes.

34‐1: Evaluating and Minimizing Color Distortion in Wide‐Gamut Displays Due to Variations of Cone Fundamentals among Color‐Normal Observers

“…Narrowband three-primary displays have the advantage of increasing the color gamut of the display but the disadvantage that they also increase observer-based metameric failures, whereby normal variations in color vision lead to individual differences in color matching and appearance [1]. A potential solution is to use five or six individually controlled narrow-band primaries [2,3] , however this is considered to be impractical for the foreseeable future. Here, we explore the utility of a four-primary system and analyze how this can be optimized to mitigate observer metamerism.…”
