Gamut boundary description for one dependent primary color

Abstract

The gamut boundary description (GBD) of multiprimary color displays (MPD) is important for color gamut mapping. Dependent primary color (DPC) is the color stimulus of a controllable color channel represented by an additive mixture of positive amounts of other primary colors. We propose a method to obtain the GBD of a MPD with one DPC. Further, the ideal color volume in CIE xyY and CIE L*a*b* color space with complete-controlling white channel is about 218.8% and 144% compared with the one of digital light processing with incomplete-controlling white channel. The white channel with complete control will not only increase brightness, but also expand color volume. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
