[argyllcms] OT: random thought on display gamut

So, this may or may not have anything whatsoever to do with reality, and it
certainly has nothing to do with Argyll. But it *does* have to do with the
physiology of the eye and of the gamut of emissive displays, and I know
there're lots of people here knowledgeable and interested in such things.
It just occurred to me that it might be practical to create a display with a
gamut that encompasses the entirety of human vision by using not three but five
primaries.
Keep the three red, green, and blue primaries we're familiar with, but also add
a fourth in the near infrared and a fifth in the near ultraviolet, both right
at (or barely beyond?) the very edge of the limits of perception.
There would be safety concerns with the UV, of course, but I wouldn't think it
would need either a high frequency or a high intensity.
Am I nuts? Ignorant?
Cheers,
b&
