System and Method for Dynamically Altering a Color Gamut

A method for displaying an image, the method comprising:

• adjusting the image in response to a determining that the image contains a dim color;
• sequentially displaying colors in a color sequence, wherein the color sequence is based on the adjusted image;
• and
• loading image data from the image into a spatial modulator, wherein the spatial modulator modulates the displayed color, wherein the image data being loaded corresponds to a color being displayed.

A display system comprising:

• a light source;
• an array of light modulators optically coupled to the light source, the array of light modulators configured to modulate light from the light source based upon image data to produce images on a display plane;
• a controller coupled to the array of light modulators and to the light source, the controller comprising
• a dynamic gamut unit coupled to a front end unit, the dynamic gamut unit configured to increase image brightness of images provided by the front end unit by adjusting a display duration and a light intensity of colors in images with a dim color;
• and
• a sequence selection unit coupled to the dynamic gamut unit and to the light source, the sequence selection unit configured to select a color sequence corresponding to images with adjusted display durations and pixel intensities.
