This is not CMYK. CMYK is a reflective colour model suitable for ink on paper or similar. Also CMYK has a smaller gamut (fewer possible colours) than RGB.

This looks like CIE L*,a*,b* (aka CIELAB) which has R-G on the a* axis, B-Y on the b* axis, and black to white on the L* axis. It's the most accurate and complete gamut possible, and contains many colours that cannot be stored or displayed with RGB.

I'm not sure where Sharp expects to get content from though; DVDs and television signals are all RGB. ]]>Mar 22nd 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/RGB: blast green and blue full to get yellow.

Red +Green = yellow in CIE world, Green+Blue = Cyan]]>Mar 22nd 2010 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/
Yeah i agree, don't see that much point of this. The reason why we have RGB, is that, in most people, cones in our eyes are sensitive to only 3 different frequencies of light (short wavelenght - Blue; medium wavelength - Green; long wavelength - yellow). so RGB should theoretically display all colors given that each subpixel is able to produce enought luminance. (the rods in our eyes can see a different frequency but rods are saturated with most lighting sources) Supposedly, there is a small percentage of females who can see in a 4th frequency due to mutant allele on the X chromosome (males cann not since they only get one X chromosome, unlike femals who get two). But even to just satisfy that population, it doesn't make sense as nearly all video sources (and video cameras) are RGB.]]>Mar 22nd 2010 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/

Close...

RGB is the additive color spectrum...CMY is the subtractive spectrum.

What that means is, in order to create a full color image with light you use additive. So 3 grayscale images are projected (meaning light passes thru them with the color R G or B filtering them...or in the case of film all three layers are on one strip of emulsion.) when those colors mix you get all the other colors, so when red and green mix you get yellow, green and blue makes cyan, and red and blue makes magenta. Black is the absence of light, white is what happens when all 3 colors occupy the same space at the same intensity each.

CMY work in the exact opposite way. They are reflective colors. So when you mix them the reflected result is what is seen. So Magenta and Yellow makes red, cyan and yellow makes green, and cyan and magenta make blue. All the colors mixed makes black, no colors make white.

This means the addition of some fictional yellow pixel makes NO SENSE and would do nothing!

This is 100% marketing BS!]]>Mar 23rd 2010 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/Mar 22nd 2010 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/

Because every color of light can be made with red, green, and blue. Yellow, for example, can be made by combining red and green light.]]>Mar 22nd 2010 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/22/george-takei-cant-show-you-sharps-fourth-pixel-can-still-blow/
Red green and blue can't reproduce every color. The three define a limited subset of all possible colors. Adding a fourth color, yellow, will expand the coverage of the color space. Check out wikipedia's entry for "RGB color model" to learn more.

What I'm not sure about is how they will use the yellow, since all the data (in DVDs and whatnot) is stored in RGB.]]>Mar 22nd 2010 5:56PM
