Agilent Technologies' Color Management System Included in Coretronic's Innovative 30-Inch LCD Flat-Panel TV Reference Design.PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Agilent's Breakthrough Technology Delivers 25 Percent Richer On-Screen Colors than Fluorescent Backlighting back·light n. A type of spotlight, used in photography, that illuminates a subject from behind. tr.v. back·light·ed or back·lit , back·light·ing, back·lights Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today announced that its illumination and color management system Software that translates the colors of an original image into the truest representation obtainable on the output device. Color management works from a profile of the output device, typically a digital printer or offset press, and works backward to the source of the material such as a (ICM ICM Intercom ICM Integrated Crop Management ICM International Congress of Mathematicians ICM Information Classification and Management ICM Intelligent Contact Management (Cisco) ICM International Creative Management ) has been included in Coretronic's reference design for 30-inch LCD flat-panel TVs. The reference design enables TV manufacturers to quickly offer next-generation LCD TVs using red, green and blue LED backlighting. Backlighting with RGB (Red Green Blue) The computer's native color space, which is the color system for capturing and displaying images. RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). LEDs provides 25 percent richer colors than LCD TVs using fluorescent backlighting. The 30-inch diagonal LCD TV reference design combines Coretronic's RGB LED backlight module with Agilent's ICM system. It offers LCD flat-panel TV manufacturers resolution of 1280 x 768 WXGA (Wide XGA) A wide screen resolution of 1366x768 pixels. See PC display modes.  and brightness of 550 cd/m(2). The LCD panel color saturation achieves 106 percent of the color space defined by the National Television System Committee (NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. ), which is responsible for setting television and video standards in the United States. The backlight unit color saturation is rated at 123 percent of NTSC. "Agilent is the only company that provides a standard 'off-the-shelf' color management solution for LCD backlighting," said Fred Huang, vice president of Coretronic's Backlight Business Unit. "By combining our expertise in LCD backlighting modules and flat-panel TV designs with Agilent's innovative illumination and color management system, we offer the market a proven design that provides sharper, more natural color tones for their LCD TV displays." "We are pleased that Coretronic has selected our ICM solution for its LCD TV reference design," said Lee Soo Ghee, vice president and general manager of the Optoelectronic Products Division in Agilent's Semiconductor Products Group. "Together we are enabling a new wave of LCD TVs that will allow consumers to see all colors of the rainbow brighter and more clearly for a more exciting TV viewing experience." The Agilent HDJD-JB01-8831A illumination and color management (ICM) system consists of the HDJD-J822-SCR00 color management controller and the HDJD-S831-QT333 tricolor tricolor describes a coat color of dogs and cats which has orange and black patches (similar to the tortoiseshell) but has in addition patches of white hair; see tortoiseshell. photo sensor. The Agilent ICM system enables white backlighting (using the combination of red, green and blue LEDs with feedback control) and makes it possible to maintain constant color and brightness over the lifetime of the display. This level of control combined with the increased color spectrum is not possible with any conventional technology. ICM offers dynamic RGB tuning and dynamic color changing capabilities. By using Agilent's color management feedback system, the light output produced by an RGB LED array maintains its color over time and with variations in ambient temperature. The desired color can be specified using a standard CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage, International Commission on Illumination, Vienna, Austria, www.cie.co.at) An international organization that sets standards for all aspects of lighting and illumination, including colorimetry, photometry and the measurement of visible and (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage, or International Commission on Illumination The International Commission on Illumination (usually known as the CIE for its French-language name Commission internationale de l'éclairage) is the international authority on light, illumination, color, and color spaces. ) color space.
