Submission + - Sharp Develops Five-Primary-Color LCD
hattig writes: Sharp Corporation has developed a five-primary-color display that faithfully reproduces the real surface colors that humans are capable of perceiving. By adding Cyan and Yellow subpixels to the existing Red, Green and Blue, the display can reproduce more than 99% of real surface colors, including colors that have been difficult to render using conventional LCD monitors — for example the color of the sea (emerald blue), brass instruments (golden yellow), and roses (crimson red). Side effects include greater energy savings over conventional LCDs. I imagine that such a combination of primary colors could also be applied to other display technologies such as OLED in the future.
