System and method for color-specific sequence scaling for sequential color systems
First Claim
1. A method for displaying a color sequence, using color-specific sequence scaling to compensate for variations in light output of different color light sources, comprising:
- providing a reference color sequence for display of an image using light from the respective different color light sources, wherein the reference color sequence specifies a reference duration for each color in the reference color sequence for a reference light output of each corresponding color light source, and wherein the reference color sequence is determined based on bit weight and chromatic characteristics information, and information derived from received image data;
computing a color-specific scaling factor for each color in the reference color sequence for an actual light output of the corresponding color light source; and
controlling the operation of the color light sources to sequentially display each color in the color sequence based on the reference color sequence scaled by the computed scaling factor for each respective color.

Abstract
System and method for adjusting the color segment durations for colors in a color sequence in sequential color display systems. A preferred embodiment comprises receiving a desired color sequence to display, computing a scaling factor for each color in the desired color sequence based on a reference color sequence, and sequentially displaying the colors in the desired color sequence. The reference color sequence used in computing the scaling factors specifies a duration for each color in the reference color sequence, while the desired color sequence specifies a desired duration for each color in the desired color sequence. The use of a single reference color sequence to create a large number of color sequences can save a significant amount of storage space and can allow for the storage of reference color sequences to meet varying chromatic properties due to changes in the display system, user settings, and operating environment.
