Color Reproduction Characteristics of Liquid Crystal Display Panels and New Compensation Methods for Them
Yukio OkanoNozomu Shiotani
Abstract
The color reproduction characteristics of LCD (liquid crystal display) panels
are different from those of CRT (cathode ray tube) displays. This paper
describes how the authors measured and analyzed such characteristics of LCD
panels to develop new methods for compensating the bluish cast found on
conventional LCDs. The first one is a hardware-based technique that employs a
LUT (look-up table) and the second a software-based color management technique
utilizing ICC profiles compensating the bluish cast. The authors achieved
faithful color reproduction for standard sRGB with both methods.
