Abstract

Electro-optical displays challenge color appearance systems based on the study of surface colors because these displays provide complex arrays of additive color. CRTs already enable us to present some colors beyond the gamut of surface colors at both high and low lightnesses. Laser-based devices will carry this potential much farther, resulting in dark colors as well as light ones with a colorfulness that in some cases lie even beyond the maximum theoretically achievable with illuminated objects. The work of Evans, who regarded surface colors as a special case of aperture colors, deserves renewed attention for its applicability to additive color displays. Users of self-luminous displays need to be aware that brightness is not adequately measured by photopic light meters and that lightness and chroma of display elements will be affected by their context, including not only the near background but also the far surround.
