1 Scope
This part of IEC 62977 specifies standard evaluation methods for determining the colour capabilities of
electronic display modules and systems with respect to colour accuracy, colour gamut
volume, and their intersection with a reference colour space. Also included is evaluation
with respect to the chromaticity gamut area. These methods apply to emissive and transmissive
direct view displays that render real 2D images on a flat panel or on a curved panel
with a local radius of curvature larger than 1 500 mm. This document evaluates the
optical characteristics of these displays under darkroom conditions. This document
applies to the testing of display performance in response to standard analogue or
digital input signals that are not absolute luminance encoded. The input signal is
relative RGB without metadata information that codes for real luminance, colour space or colour
coordinates. These methods are limited to input signals with typical opto-electronic
transfer functions (OETFs) such as defined in IEC 61966‑2‑1, Recommendation ITU‑R BT.601[18]1, Recommendation ITU‑R BT.709, and Recommendation ITU‑R BT.2020. The tests in this document are not suitable for use with HDR input signals.
NOTE A flat panel or flat panel display is a display with a planar surface that emits light from the surface. The display can consist of light valves modulating a backlight or be self-luminous. Emissive, transmissive, or reflective hybrid displays can be non-planar panel, non-planar panel displays, curved (design) panel, or curved (design) panel displays.
