Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for screen calibration for the true-to-original reproduction of surface colors, the spectral reflection distribution of which is known, wherein by setting parameters the screen can be influenced using software and an electronic controller in each partial region of the screen. The invention is characterized in that an observer adapts the reproduced color impression of the screen to the color impression of an original in each partial region of the screen, wherein the original is compared to the screen colors immediately thereafter on the screen surface and the screen parameters are varied until the color impressions of the original and of the screen appear identical to the observer on the respectively viewed partial screen, viewed from a predefined observer angle, and the settings performed are stored in a screen profile.

Abstract: Color calibration of color image rendering devices, such as large color displays, which operate by either projection or emission of images, utilize internal color measurement instrument or external color measurement modules locatable on a wall or speaker. A dual use camera is provided for a portable or laptop computer, or a cellular phone, handset, personal digital assistant or other handheld device with a digital camera, in which one of the camera or a display is movable with respect to the other to enable the camera in a first mode to capture images of the display for enabling calibration of the display, and in a second mode for capturing image other than of the display. The displays may represent rendering devices for enabling virtual proofing in a network, or may be part of stand-alone systems and apparatuses for color calibration. Improved calibration is also provided for sensing and correcting for non-uniformities of rendering devices, such as color displays, printer, presses, or other color image rendering device.

Abstract: A method for correcting color characteristics of a flat panel display comprises the steps of using a signal generating device to generate an input signal to the display and a color measurement instrument to measure color displayed by the display to obtain an output value; obtaining corrected color characteristic values necessary for the display to display a target output value Txyz through the relation of an inverse function RGB=f−1(XYZ) between the input signal RGB and output value XYZ, and storing the corrected color characteristic values and an identification code of the display into a storage medium. The corrected color characteristic values are downloaded to a hard disk of a computer from the storage medium according to the identification code; and the computer uses a driver of the display to activate the flat panel display to display a corrected color according to the corrected color characteristic values.
