The pulse width modulation(PWM) method has been generally used as conventional method controlling luminance of LED(light emitting diode). PWM method as analog method with a relation that duty ratio of LED be proportional to luminance has weak point that it is not compatible with digital method of communication etc. In this paper, a experiment is conducted which the luminance of RGB LED be controlled by digital method. For this, the LED digital control system is developed which consist of LED driving circuits and digital logic circuits. By controlling the number of pluses on RGB LED versus digital input, various lighting colors is implemented and digital codes are optimized in order that measured x, y chromaticity coordinates of lighting colors are comprised in the CIE chromaticity coordinates area of targeted lighting colors. The result of this study can be utilized usefully in research on implementing full color by using remote control of LED lamp with digital communication.

This paper proposes a non-contact color inspection system for plasma display panel (PDP). The red, green, and blue test pattern images are acquired by using the area color CCD camera at the various distance from the PDP. The RGB values are obtained from the region of interest (ROI) which are extracted by applying the image processing to the test pattern image. Finally, the CIE xy and u'v' chromaticity coordinates of the test pattern images according to the distance are acquired from the RGB color coordinates.

An efficient color compensation method is proposed to reduce the color difference between the camera based inspection system and the colorimeter based inspection system in a plasma display panel production line. The color compensation matrix can be constructed by using the relationship between RGB to XYZ conversion matrices, which are obtained by the RGB primaries and reference white chromaticity coordinates. Experimental results show that the non-contact color inspection system using the proposed color compensation method satisfactorily compensates the chromaticity coordinates acquired by the area color CCD camera to be matched to those measured by the colorimeter for various test color.

A study to select ground colors of Fuji apple for maturity index which are needed to standardize grading of the apples is presented. Two extreme colors of immature and fully mature Fuji and Zonagold apples produced in Korea were determined. Various ground colors of Fuji apple between the two extreme colors were collected and classified by human vision and colors of Fuji apple for maturity index were selected from the classification. Coordinates of the selected colors in xy chromaticity diagram were determined by spectrophotometers to define them in a standard coordinate system. Coordinates of the colors in r-g chromaticity diagram using a color machine vision system were also determined to use the colors in apple grading by the machine vision system. Grading Fuji apples using the machine vision system was performed and result of the grading was compared with Ending results of human vision and colorimeter. The comparison was performed with the same Fuji apple samples and showed 65% md 75% of same grades, respectively, as the grades determined by the machine vision system. Differences of fading performance between the compared three grading methods were explained as mainly because of the differences of observation area of the grading methods.

In this paper we propose high performance system with reduced hardware architecture to convert a color tone. Conversion for the color tone of a input image is necessary to calculate the color temperature of the image Conventional way of calculating the temperature uses algorithm using the method calculating 2-D chromaticity coordinates. But it requires bulky hardware[1]. This paper propose the color temperature calculation method about 1-D chromaticity coordinates that reduces the hardware complexity while keeping the performance of the 2-D color temperature algorithm . The proposed method is verified by fLCD-TV system using the Xilinx Virtex FPGA XCV 2000E-6BG560 that has 1344*806 resolution and requires a high-speed 65MHz operation.

Picture Quality Improvement Systems(PQIS) have been developed for user's needs with the development of display technology. Most PQIS change the all input data, so there were some color distortion. In order to compensate such problems, the PQIS using Skin Protection Algorithm(SPA) have been proposed. But the PQIS using SPA is performed simplex color emphasis, as a result occurred color saturation and decoloration. In this paper, we proposed the modified PQIS using SPA on CIE 1976 u'v' chromaticity coordinate. The modified method operated chromaticity extension and reduction at the same time about brightness value to prevent the saturation and decoloration. We evaluated by comparing the conventional method with the proposed method of RGB Gamut variation rate using 42 test image.

The characteristics of image quality of a color CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor are studied by changing the contrast and brightness levels. The resolution is assessed by SQRI (square root integral) measured at 9 different combinations of the contrast and brightness levels. The chromaticity coordinates and luminances of red-green-blue channels as a function of the digital value are measured at these combinations and the relationships among the constant-channel chromaticity, color gamut, maximum luminance of a white point with the channel independence are analyzed. From the results, the optimized combination of levels is obtained.
