• Number of color channels:
o LCD uses RGB
o DLP uses RGBW
• LCD tend to be more uniform in brightness
• DLP tend to have sharper images

MCSLEvaluation Wrap-up
• There are several factors you should evaluate
o Cost (including bulb replacement)
o Brightness and image size
o Resolution
o Image quality
o Size and weight
• Specifications are great, but for each you should askyourself these questions
o “Is good enough for my needs?”
• Lastly, always ask “Do I like the image?”

MCSLProjector Characterization Overview
• Users’ desire a particular color
• Projector accept only RBG (“device dependentcolor”)
• RGB does not correspond well to colors people see
• Critical for some issues (eg: logos, marketing)
• Nearly irrelevant for some issues (eg: technicalpresentations)
• Models presented here are not spatial. We assumea uniform image.

MCSLDevice Characterization Basics
• “Device coordinates” are what we send to theprojector, RGB
• Color coordinates correspond to what we see,XYZ(“device independent color”)
• If the color coordinates of two colors are equal,we will perceive those colors as a match*.
• The goal of these device models will be topredict the output color coordinates (XYZ) for agiven set of input device coordinates (RGB)

MCSLModel Summary
• Both models use measured data only. Noparameter estimation. (Except interpolatingthe look up table)
• LCD model requires measurement of fullR,G,B and complete white ramp. For ourexample LCD projector, better results werefound using full ramp measurements.
• DLP requires measurement of all fourramps

MCSLModel Summary
• Both are very simple to implement
• LCD model performs very well
• DLP model performs acceptably
• Both models are satisfactory, especiallyconsidering additional variables:
o projection screen
o ambient room conditions
o viewing angles

MCSLFuture Work
• Uncover and correct systematic trendsin the DLP model error.
• Perform additional measurements andimplement the model for the remainingDLP projectors.
• Submitted to 2003 IS&T Color ImagingConference
