Abstract
Color displays show a vivid colorful image by combination of three or
above primary colors on every individual pixel. Brightness of color displays,
however, strongly restricts the color gamut of displays. From the color mixing
theory, the area of color gamut on the color coordination would shrink smaller
when brightness grows up. At the maximal brightness, displays can show one
system white point only. The difficulties how to obtain the maximal brightness
under an assigned color point or color gamut have been a key issue for display
manufacturers. The paper proposes a theory to analyze the relation between
brightness and color gamut based on the multi-primary color display. Simulations
estimate the boundary of color gamut of multi-primary color displays under
required brightness which had been proved by experimental results of tri-primary
color display. The theory can be applied on the color temperature (CT) design
which experimental results show the fact that a display apparatus with higher
color temperature could sacrifice brightness less compared to one with lower
color temperature when color temperature of the display image needs to change.
The theory provides a design guideline for optimization between color gamut,
color temperature and brightness on multi-primary color displays.
