Recently, various wide color gamut displays have been developed. Because of color gamut differences between wide gamut displays and the standard definitions, the color reproduction on such display system is not equal to original images. To overcome this, a color transformation such as gamut mapping algorithm is applied in conventional systems. But this manipulates only the video signal that would reduce the signal dynamic range and produces quantization error of video signal.In this paper, we propose a new optical Color Gamut Processing instead of an image data mapping. In the method, an individual color gamut of the standard definitions can be composed of an optical mixture of original primary colors. As a result, a perfect color match for the various standards can be realized within a display gamut without any signal artifacts.Moreover the same concept is applied to the video stream in order to elevate scene luminance. A scene-adaptive Dynamic Color Gamut Processing measures a color gamut for every video frame and adjusts a matched display color gamut so that it is able to increase display contrast in comparison to conventional display systems.
