Before revision: Background In 2009, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a scientific paper stating that in addition to the typical white light brightness rating of display devices, there was a need for providing "an equivalent measurement that will better describe a projector's color performance when rendering full color imagery".NIST paper NISTIR 6657, January 2009: "A Rational Methodology for Estimating the Luminous Flux Based upon Color Primaries from Digital Projection Displays" '' In 2012, the Society for Information Display (SID), a global professional organization focused on the development of the display industry, published the Color Light Output standard to provide display and projector buyers with an easy metric to evaluate color performance.
