Emission and Control of Colors
Colors can be generated by selective emission, by selective absorption, transmission or by selective reflection.
| Color emission and control | |
|---|---|
| additive mixing primary colors add up to produce white light |
subtractive mixing filters, dyes, pigments (e.g.printing) subtract (absorb) parts of white light |
| temporal mixing (additive) e.g. rotating primary color filter wheel in projectors |
spatial mixing (additive) closely spaced sub-pixels |
| spatio temporal color mixing combined spatial and temporal mixing |
|
| arrangement of sub-pixels for additive color mixing see sub-pixel arrangements 1 see sub-pixel arrangements 2 see sub-pixel arrangements 3 |
subtractive color mixing does not require special sub-pixel arrangements all components (e.g. filters) have to be in the same path of light. |
| Examples: stripe delta-nabla PenTile arrangement, e.g. RGB+White |

Famous quotes containing the words emission, control and/or colors:
“Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let’s not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“In view of the fact that the number of people living too long has risen catastrophically and still continues to rise.... Question: Must we live as long as modern medicine enables us to?... We control our entry into life, it is time we began to control our exit.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Language as a real thing is not imitation either of sounds or colors or emotions it is an intellectual recreation and there is no possible doubt about it and it is going to go on being that as long as humanity is anything.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
