The method derivesfrom the fact that the color stimulus functions from displaydevices are linear combinations of three primary functions andare not entirely arbitrary.5. Significance

18、 and Use5.1 This practice may be applied when tristimulus colorim-eters are used to measure the colors produced on self-luminousvideo display devices such as CRTs and flat-panel displays,including electroluminescent (EL) panels, light emitting diodes(LEDs) field emission displays (FEDs), and back-li

Rather, it provides a method forobtaining more accurate results when certain conditions aremet. It may be used by any person engaged in the measurement

20、of color on display devices who has access to the requisiteequipment.5.2 This practice defines a class of tristimulus colorimetersthat may be said to be compatible with this practice.6. Background of Practice6.1 Colorimetry:6.1.1 Color measurement instruments consist, in general, ofmeans to measure

21、radiometric power as transmitted through anumber of bandpass filters. Most commonly, electrical devicesare used to measure the filtered light. They may be used withdifferent filters in succession, or multiple devices may be usedconcurrently. In instruments called spectroradiometers, theradiometric p

22、ower is measured through a large number (typi-cally 30 to 500) of narrowband filters. (Practice E1341 de-scribes how a monochromator or polychromator (spectrograph)may be employed to filter and measure light in separate bandson the order of 1-nm wide.) In instruments called tristimuluscolorimeters,

23、the radiometric power is measured through threeor four wideband filters. These filters may be constructed fromdispersive elements (prisms and gratings) or from materialswith selective spectral transmission or reflection. The lattermay be either uniform or comprised of different patches, in amosaic p

24、attern, that provide the desired overall effect.6.1.2 No matter how many filters are used, or in whatmanner, the goal of the measurement process is to determinetristimulus values X, Y, Z, as defined by ISO in its StandardISO 116641:2007(E)/CIE S 0141E:2006 and the CIE in itspublication Publ. 015(1).

While the standarddefinition of X, Y, Z requires the use of the CIE 1931 2color

26、-matching functions, the mathematics described in thispractice would also be applicable to any other set of color-matching functions, such as the CIE 1964 10 functions.6.1.3 In practice, color measurement instruments computeX, Y, Z by the summation of the signals as measured throughthe various filte

27、rs, each signal being multiplied by an appro-priate calibration factor. In matrix notation:FXmYmZmG5FCX1CX2CX3.CXfCY1CY2CY3.CYfCZ1CZ2CZ3.CZfG3F1F2F3Ff4(2)where:F1, F2, F3, through Ffare the electrical signals from the ffiltered detectors and the Cijare calibration coefficients.

29、lity for signal Fais not affected by the value of signal Fb, and in the case ofclosely packed detectors (such as charge-coupled device(CCD) detector elements) no signal Faspills over and affectssignal Fbas it approaches saturation. These presumptions areamenable to experimental verification using me

The full extent of this subject isbeyond the scope of this practice. However, in general, forspectroradiometer

For tristimuluscolorimeters, the choice of Cijis discussed further, below. As a4The boldface numb

32、ers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis standard.E1455 162general matter, the instrument designer should choose pass-bands and matrix elements that balance accuracy, sensitivity,and other design requirements.6.1.6 Tristimulus colorimeters are generally designed withfilte

33、rs that are intended to match the spectral responsivities oftheir detector channels to the CIE color matching functions.For such an instrument,FXmYmZmG5FCX1000 CY2000CZ3GFF1F2F3G(3)where:the non-zero Cijmatrix elements represent adjustable gains ofthe detector channels. However, the x() function has

34、 twodistinct lobes. This may be dealt with by splitting the lobes intotwo functions, xshort() and xlong(), each with a separate filter(F1and F2, respectively). For such an instrument,FXmYmZmG5FCX1CX20000CY30000CZ4G3F1F2F3F44Alternatively, the z() function properly scaled may serve asthe xshort(), si

35、nce they have a similar shape,FXmYmZmG5FCX10 CX30 CY2000CZ3GFF1F2F3GIn all of these cases, it is difficult to realize an exact matchbetween the CIE color-matching functions and the actualspectral responsivities of the corresponding detector channels.This means that no choice of Cijwill provide perfe

36、ct calibra-tion for all applications of the instrument. The criteria forsetting the Cijmight not be well documented for a particularinstrument.6.1.7 It is generally believed that spectroradiometers, withtheir many detector channels, may be calibrated to yieldsuperior measurements of X, Y, Z for dive

37、rse applications.Nevertheless, the relative simplicity of tristimulus colorimetersand their commensurately lower cost have made them popularwhere the highest accuracy is not required.6.2 Self-Luminous Displays:6.2.1 A self-luminous display, such as a CRT, an electrolu-minescent (EL) panel, a field e

38、mission display (FED), lightemitting diodes (LED) or a back-lit liquid crystal display(LCD) generates colored light by the proportional superposi-tion (addition) of primary colored lights r(), g(), b().The subscripts represent red, green, and blue, the primarycolors of an additive set. An arbitraril

(6)where a, b, care coefficients that are determined by thedisplay electronics.6.2.2 The display electronics vary a, b, c over the face of thedisplay in order to generate a colored image. For this pra

40、ctice,we presume that the display electronics may be set to make a,b, c uniform (perhaps after averaging nonobvious fine-structure) over a sufficient area of the display to permitmeasurements to be made on that area.6.2.3 It is a requirement for the applicability of this practicethat the display dev

41、ice behaves as stated in Eq 6. This practicedoes not represent that any particular display device will act aspredicted by Eq 6, though those within the mentioned classesof devices might do so. The procedure for experimentalverification of this property for a specific display device isbeyond the scop

42、e of this practice (3).6.3 Colorimetric Measurement of Displays:6.3.1 Each of the primary color stimulus functions r(),g(), b() stimulates responses in the f detector channels thatmay be represented by a vector F (that is, Fr, Fg, Fb). Giventheir construction, these vectors are linearly independent.

43、(None of the three can be expressed as a linear combination ofthe other two.) While F is an element of an f-dimensionalvector space, it is clear that only a three-dimensional subspaceis spanned by the Fs of all possible color stimulus functionsfollowing Eq 6. Further, the mapping of F into (Xm, Ym,

44、Zm)space by Eq 2 remains three dimensional. In other words, thereis a one-to-one mapping of the vector (a, b, c) onto (X, Y, Z)byapplication of Eq 1; and, for a particular instrument with afixed calibration matrix C, there is also a one-to-one mappingof the vector (a, b, c) onto (Xm, Ym, Zm). From t

45、his we deducethat a matrix R exists that can be used to translate (Xm, Ym, Zm)values into actual (X, Y, Z) values.6.3.2 A colorimeter that takes advantage of this fact mustprovide means for implementing the matrix R. That is, all ffiltered detector signals should contribute linearly toward thecomput

46、ation of each output, Xm, Ym, Zm, instead of usingdifferent detectors for each output. This idea was reported aslong ago as 1973 by Wagner (4), and it has been expandedupon and rediscovered by others since then (5-10).6.3.3 On the basis of this property, a tristimulus colorimetercan be optimized for

47、 use on a self-luminous display by theproper derivation of a matrix R for that display. We proceed onthe assumptions that the components are sufficiently stable, andthat similarly built displays have similar enough spectralprimaries to make a derivation of R worthwhile. However,these assumptions sho

48、uld be quantified before accuracy claimsare made in any specific situation.6.3.4 On the basis of this property, a tristimulus colorimeterdesigned for use with displays need not produce signals F thatare close to CIE tristimulus values. Signal/noise may beimproved by matching the spectral responsivit

49、ies of the filtereddetectors to the emission spectra of the primary colors. In suchdesigns, it is especially important to use a matrix R that isspecific to the particular r(), g(), b().7. Optimization7.1 General:7.1.1 Given the existence of a matrix R, how is it deter-mined? Experimentally, the problem is one of comparing thedata X, Y, Z from a reference colorimeter with the data Xm, Ym,Zmfrom the colorimeter being optimized, for a number of colorsamples at differen
