[opendtv] Re: All colors of rainbow in new display concept


It seems to me that the colors are obtained by diffracting a white light 
source. So if you want a
very precise color inside the rainbow, it will represent a very tiny fraction 
of the incident light.
There would be a compromise between color accuracy and light intensity output. 
Even with a 
well thought out compromise, i wouldn't expect those displays to be very bright.

Also there are many colors out there that are simply not in the rainbow (say 
brown, for example).
How would you render those ?

As for the MPEG encoding, that might not be such a big trouble : if you 
consider that points close
to one another will likely be of a similar colour, except on a transition from 
one object to the
next, anf if the colour is varied by applying different analog potential to a 
flexible element,
then the driving signal will be an analog signal with a reasonable degree of 
continuity, except in
some places. Why couldn't that be encoded just like present day luminance or 
chrominance  ?
Plus, there would be  only one signal instead of three components. I expect 
that would compress just
as well.
