Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying super saturated color. Image data for display on a display or viewing device with a potential white luminance in a standard system with a maximum luminance is processed such that colors near the white point are reduced to a limited luminance. As the chroma of the displayed color is increased, a luminance attenuation is decreased. The scaling of the reduction is operable to be a linear function, a non-linear function, or any other function.

A system for displaying a primary color system, comprising:
- a set of image data including a set of primary color signals, wherein the set of primary color signals corresponds to a set of values in a color space, wherein the set of values in the color space includes two colorimetric coordinates and a luminance;
- an image data converter operable to encode and decode the set of values in the color space;
- and
- at least one viewing device;
- wherein the at least one viewing device and the image data converter are in network communication;
- wherein the encode and the decode includes transportation of processed data;
- wherein the processed data includes data related to a relative luminance and the two colorimetric coordinates;
- wherein the image data converter is operable to convert the set of image data for display on the at least one viewing device;
- wherein the at least one viewing device is operable to display the primary color system based on the set of image data;
- and
- wherein the relative luminance increases as a distance of a chroma of the two colorimetric coordinates increases from a neutral point or a white point of the at least one viewing device.
A system for displaying a primary color system, comprising:
- an image data converter operable to encode and decode a set of values corresponding to a set of primary color signals in a color space;
- and
- at least one viewing device;
- wherein the set of values in the color space includes two colorimetric coordinates and a luminance;
- wherein the at least one viewing device is operable to receive data from the image data converter;
- wherein the encode and the decode includes transportation of processed data;
- wherein the processed data includes data related to a relative luminance and the two colorimetric coordinates;
- wherein the image data converter is operable to convert the set of image data for display on the at least one viewing device;
- wherein the at least one viewing device is operable to display the primary color system based on the set of image data;
- and
- wherein the relative luminance increases as a distance of a chroma of the two colorimetric coordinates increases from a neutral point or a white point of the at least one viewing device.
A method for displaying a primary color system, comprising:
- providing a set of image data including a set of primary color signals, wherein the set of primary color signals corresponds to a set of values in a color space, wherein the set of values in the color space includes two colorimetric coordinates and a luminance;
- encoding the set of image data in the color space;
- decoding the set of image data in the color space;
- and
- the image data converter converting the set of image data for display on the at least one viewing device;
- wherein the encoding and the decoding include transportation of processed data, wherein the processed data includes data related to a relative luminance and the two colorimetric coordinates;
- wherein the at least one viewing device is operable to display the primary color system based on the set of image data;
- and
- wherein the relative luminance increases as a distance of a chroma of the two colorimetric coordinates increases from a neutral point or a white point of the at least one viewing device.
