Perceived white region of displays with varied color gamuts
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to explore the perceived white region of display devices with varying color gamuts. Three displays were selected, with color gamuts approximating sRGB, DCI-P3, and BT.2020, respectively. For each display, a subjective rating experiment was conducted to evaluate the perceived neutrality of the image white point. The experiment used 5 images, each featuring 126 distinct white point chromaticities (18 CCT × 7 Duv). The neutrality ratings were fitted by a bivariate Gaussian function on the u10'v10' chromaticity diagram, yielding the tolerance ellipse of perceive white points for each display. It can be observed that as the color gamut expands, the CIE 1976 u10'v10' chromaticity center of the perceived white region shifts toward higher CCT and more negative Duv values. Additionally, larger discrepancies in the white regions across displays were observed when calculated using different CIE color-matching functions (CMFs). These findings are expected to serve as a valuable reference for defining the white point on display devices with varying color gamuts.

Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...
