Liquid crystal display (LCD) devices contain a colour filter which can visualise colour images by transmitting or absorbing light. Colour properties of LCD mainly depend on colour materials such as pigments and polymeric binders. In this paper, colour properties were studied to improve colour quality of LCD. Generally, the colour properties can be classified into three categories which are colour purity, brightness and contrast ratio. For this study, photo resists were prepared by treatment of pigments and synthesis of polymeric binder. The treated pigments were dispersed and formulated with additives for preparing a photo resist that could be used for manufacturing colour filters. As a result of what we studied, type, mixture ratio and concentration of pigments were very important to improve colour purity of LCD device.

The digital colour reproduced on a display can be transferred to the image through various colour spaces, and the colour transferred to the image is one of the most important factors, among both subjective and objective factors, in image quality evaluation. Therefore, the digital colour must be continuously studied objectively and quantitatively along with the display development. At the same time, the subjective evaluation should be accompanied by systematic and quantitative research as the visual characteristics must be fully reflected. In this study, we applied different lightness levels of the background in order to examine the movement phenomenon of colour properties among the digital colour properties reproduced on the display. A psychophysical experiment was conducted for the condition where various colours were presented in the background, and the size of the colour stimulus was divided into the foveal vision and peripheral vision. Based on the evaluation results of the experiment, the colour properties movement phenomenon is identified according to the lightness of the background and the size of the colour stimulus for five colours among KS basic colours selected by experimental stimulus. Furthermore, a research direction to reproduce colour on displays in the future is proposed.

Hue, value, and chroma are the fundamental colour components used in colour property research to identify colour in the digital media environment. In the Munsell colour system, which is based on the characteristics of visual perception, the basic properties are classified into hue, value, and chroma. The methods for recording these three properties can be divided into the colour appearance system and the colour mixing system: in the former, they are documented based on a colour chart that focuses on visual perception, and in the latter, accurate numerical records are kept without concern for discolouration. Colour terminology is crucial for conveying and expressing colours, and colours can be classified and defined according to the combination of hue, value, and chroma. With the development of various media, it has become possible to represent a range of colours previously unachievable, necessitating basic research into the characteristics of colour perception by further subdividing digital-oriented colour studies. In this study, we conducted psychophysical experiments to identify and analyse the categories of value and chroma needed to recognise each colour among the ten representative colours of the Munsell colour system, based on visual perception on a display. This study analyses the results of these experiments, defines their significance as foundational research data on colour perception characteristics, and suggests directions for future research.

In this study, the effects of grape seed flour on the physical-chemical properties, microbiological and sensory properties of Turkish dry fermented sausage, sucuk, was investigated. After the sausages produced with beef, beef fat, sheep tail fat and spices, they were ripened for 14 d. Then they were vacuum-packaged and stored for 80 d at 4℃. The effects of grape seed flour (GSF; 0%, 0.75%, 1.5%, 3%) on the physical-chemical properties (pH, moisture, fat, protein, free fatty acids, thiobarbituric acids, diameter reduction, ripening yield, instrumental colour), microbiological properties (total aerobic mesophilic and lactic acid bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, mould and yeast) and sensory properties of the sausages were investigated. Grape seed flour decreased moisture, TBA, diameter reduction, instrumental colour (a, b) values and sensory analysis scores during the ripening period; it also decreased TBA, instrumental colour (L, a, b) values, total aerobic mesophilic and lactic acid bacteria counts during the storage period. It was concluded that grape seed flour has a potential application as an additive in dry fermented sausages.

Wool fabrics were treated with dichloro isocyanuric acid (DCCA) and dyed with acid dyes (C.I. Acid Red 18), and then, they were treated by sputter etching. Wool fabrics had been sputtered with aluminium under various conditions such as sputter etching time and discharge power in the presence of argon gas. We compared mechanical properties, colour difference and fastness properties of these samples one another: Mechanical properties and colour difference of sputtered wool fabrics changed by sputter etching time, discharge power and DCCA concentration. Light fastness showed a rising tendency but rubbing fastness showed a downward tendency when sputter etching time was 7 minutes.

Colour properties can be classified based on hue, brightness, and saturation, and the characteristics of colour perception vary by colour property. In terms of colour perception, surrounding colours are viewed together rather than independently, and the characteristics of the original colour perception may vary depending on the colour characteristics of the surrounding. Thus far, research on colour perception and sensibility has focused on a monotonic environment, which is different from colour perception in real life. As such, a fundamental study on colour perception considering surrounding colours must be conducted. In this study, a psychophysical experiment was conducted, and the results were analysed to study the colour perception characteristics by edge brightness, Edge brightness was set as a variable based on the visual traits that are most sensitive to brightness, and the experiment was conducted using the Munsell colour system to specify the stimulus colour. Based on the analysis of the experimental outcomes, this study reveals the significance of fundamental research data on the visual and perceptual characteristics of colour perception with regard to edge brightness and provides directions for future research.

We present the properties of globular cluster systems for 10 early-type galaxies in low density environments obtained using deep images from the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Using the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey as a counterpart in high-density environments, we investigate the role of environment in determining the properties of their globular cluster systems. We detect a strong colour bimodality of globular cluster systems in half of our galaxy sample. It is found that there is a strong correlation between the colour and richness of globular cluster populations and their host galaxy luminosities: the less bright galaxies possess bluer and fewer globular clusters as also seen in rich cluster environments. However, the mean colour of globular clusters in our field sample are slightly bluer than those in cluster environments at a given galaxy luminosity, and the colour of the red population has a steeper slope with absolute luminosity. By employing the YEPS simple stellar population model, the colour offset corresponds to metallicity difference of $\Delta$[F e/H ] ~ 0.15 - 1.20 or an age difference of $\Delta$age ~ 2 Gyr on average, implying that GCs in field galaxies appear to be either less metal-rich or younger than those in cluster galaxies. Although we have found that galaxy environment has a subtle effect on the formation and metal enrichment of GC systems, host galaxy mass is the primary factor that determines the stellar populations of GCs and the galaxy itself.

The intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) technique has become a standard procedure in image analysis. It enhances the colour of highly correlated data. Unfortunately, IHS technique is sensitive to the properties of the analyzed area and usually faces colour distortion problems in the fused process. This paper explores the relationship of colour between before and after the fused process and the change in colour space of images. Subsequently, the fused colours are transformed back into the 'simulative' true colours by the following steps: (1) For each pixel of fused image that match with original pixel (of the coarse spectral resolution image) is transformed back to the true colour of original pixel. (2) The value for interpolating pixels is compensated to preserve the DN ratio between the original pixel and it's vicinity. The 'compensative matrix' is constructed by the DN of fused images and simulation of scaling process. An illustrative example of a Landsat and SPOT fused image also demonstrates the simulative true colour fusion methods.

A scientific and systematic approach for digitally representing colours is essential for improving image quality. Therefore, there is a need for objectively analysing such approaches. Studies regarding display systems, which can reflect human visual characteristics in the digital media environment, and associated international standards at the forefront, have already caused significant impact. Colour is one of the most important factors employed for evaluating the overall image quality of displays. The proposed study focusses on colour properties which are based on the characteristics of the human peripheral vision area, with the primary objective of reproducing digital colours which can simulate human visual characteristics in the digital media environment. The proposed study aims at identifying digital colour characteristics which can vary according to the level of background lightness and the size of colour stimuli. Based on the evaluation results obtained through psychophysical experiments, a method has been proposed for determining peripheral vision characteristics which vary according to the increasing size of a colour stimulus, thereby digitally reproducing them on displays.

This study was conducted to reproduce digital colour based on the lightness of the background and size of the colour stimulus so that colour can be similarly perceived under different conditions. With the evolution of display technologies, display devices of various sizes can now reproduce more accurate colour and enhanced images, thus affecting the overall quality of display images. This study reproduced digital colour by considering the visual characteristics of the digital media environment. To accomplish this, we developed a colour appearance model which distinguishes the properties of foveal and peripheral vision. The proposed model is based on existing research on the lightness of the background and size of the colour stimulus. Based on experimental results, an analysis of variance was performed in order to develop the colour appearance model. The algorithm and modelling were verified based on the proposed model. In addition, to apply this model to display technologies, a practical colour control system and a method for handling complex input images were developed. Through this research, colour conversion errors which might occur when the input image is converted to fit a specific display size are resolved from the perspective of the human visual system. As a result, more accurate colour can be displayed and enhanced images can be reproduced.
