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 lets not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“For the mother who has opted to stay home, the question remains: Having perfected her role as a caretaker, can she abdicate control to less practiced individuals? Having put all her identity eggs in one basket, can she hand over the basket freely? Having put aside her own ambitions, can she resist imposing them on her children? And having set one example, can she teach another?”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“You look rather rash my dear your colors dont quite match your face.”
—Daisy Ashford (18811972)
