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)
“I don’t think I was constructed to be monogamous. I don’t think it’s the nature of any man to be monogamous.... Men are propelled by genetically ordained impulses over which they have no control to distribute their seed into as many females as possible.”
—Marlon Brando (b. 1924)
“Then, bringing me the joy we feel when wee see a work by our favorite painter which differs from any other that we know, or if we are led before a painting of which we have until then only seen a pencil sketch, if a musical piece heard only on the piano appears before us clothed in the colors of the orchestra, my grandfather called me the [hawthorn] hedge at Tansonville, saying, “You who are so fond of hawthorns, look at this pink thorn, isn’t it lovely?””
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
