1. A system for creating characterization information for a first display device for use with a second display device comprising:
- a computer readable medium in communications with said first display device; and
,a set of computer readable instructions embodied in computer readable medium for initializing lookup table values representing default luminance levels of said first display device, measuring the output of said first display device according to said initial lookup table values, determining a gray ramp according to said output measurements, mapping said gray ramp to L* of CIELAB color model of said first display device, adjusting said lookup table values according to said gray ramp mapping and L*, measuring RGB color map information, and determining an ICC profile according to said gray ramp and said RGB color map information.

Abstract
This invention is directed to a system and method for creating characterization information from a first display device that can be transmitted and used by a second display device. Computer readable instructions embodied in a computer readable medium calibrate a first display device, create an ICC color profile from said calibration information, storing the ICC color profile and sending the ICC color profile to a second display device for it to use. The calibration or characterization information can also be associated with an image file and sent to a second location for display.
