Wide Color Gamut Displays Suitable for Soft Proofing of DTP

摘要

We have developed a prototype of wide color gamut monitor that has 130 [%] color gamut for conventional CRT ones. In this paper we would like to report our newly developed wide color gamut monitors. And more we have compared color gamut of our prototype vs. some major set of standard color patches. We would like to also touch upon this comparison. Specifications of our newly developed monitors are as follows: (1) Color gamut: more than 130 [%] for sRGB, (2) Screen size: 22 [inches] (480mm * 288mm), (3) Resolution: WXGA (H; 1280 * V; 768 [pixels]), (4) Maximum brightness: more than 300 [cd/m*m] and (5) liquid crystal mode: IPS (In-Plane-Switching). We consider that these specifications are suitable for soft proofing of DTP as replacement of conventional CRT displays.
