Patent ID: 8289344

Claim:
A method for achieving color uniformity in a color output device, the method comprising: measuring luminance and chrominance values at each position of a first set of positions of a display surface for a plurality of input signals, wherein the measuring is performed by at least one processing device; generating a color gamut for each of the positions of the first set based at least in part upon the luminance and chrominance values, wherein the color gamut is generated by the at least one processing device; creating a common color gamut based at least in part upon the generated color gamuts, wherein the common color gamut is created by the at least one processing device; determining a color gamut at a second set of positions on the display surface for the plurality of input signals, wherein the color gamut at the second set of positions is determined by the at least one processing device; and mapping at least a portion of the color gamut of one or more positions of the second set into the common color gamut so as to enable at least two positions on the display surface to produce a uniform color output, wherein the mapping is performed by the at least one processing device.
