Ambient light aware display apparatus

An apparatus comprising:

• means for receiving sensor data indicative of an ambient lighting condition;
• output control means configured to simultaneously cause light sources of at least two colors to be illuminated to form each of at least three generated primary colors, wherein each of the at least three generated primary colors corresponds to a nominal primary color of a nominal color gamut and has a chromaticity that is less saturated than a chromaticity of a corresponding light source;
• and
• color gamut correction means configured, in response to detecting the ambient lighting condition indicated in the received sensor data, to cause the output control means to adjust the output of at least one display light source for each of the at least three generated primary colors to change the saturation of each of the at least three generated primary colors.

A method for adjusting the operation of a display based on ambient lighting conditions, comprising:

• receiving sensor data indicative of an ambient lighting condition;
• simultaneously causing light sources of at least two colors to be illuminated to form each of at least three generated primary colors, wherein each of the at least three generated primary colors corresponds to a nominal primary color of a nominal color gamut and has a chromaticity that is less saturated than a chromaticity of a corresponding light source;
• and
• in response to detecting the ambient lighting condition indicated in the received sensor data, adjusting the output of at least one display light source for each of the at least three generated primary colors to change the saturation of each of the at least three generated primary colors.

An apparatus comprising:

• a sensor input for receiving sensor data indicative of ambient lighting levels associated with less than three colors;
• color gamut correction logic configured to:
• identify one of a set of ambient lighting light sources based on the received sensor data;
• and
• adjust output parameters of a display for displaying an image frame based on the identified ambient lighting light source.
