Evaluation of gamut enhancement in yellow regions and a choice of optimal wavelength for a RGBY four-primary laser display system

Abstract

To improve the color rendering ability in yellow color regions, the inclusion of yellow among the primary colors is commonly proposed. In this study, an algorithm for evaluating gamut enhancement in yellow regions is developed. The performance of different wavelength sets of RGBY four-primary system is studied theoretically in terms of various aspects, including the color gamut volume, gamut coverages, and gamut enhancement ratio in yellow regions. The optimal wavelength set and its optimal luminance ratio are then determined. This research provides strong guidance for the construction of practical four-primary-laser display systems.
