  • White color selection of display information
    Patent number: 6657611
    Abstract: A system of a computer (PC) and a monitor (DA) enables a user to select a desired white color temperature of display information displayed on a display device (DD) of the monitor (DA). The computer (PC) includes a graphics adapter (GA) for supplying video signals (Ri, Gi, Bi) to monitor (DA). The monitor includes controllable amplifiers for amplifying the video signals (Ri, Gi, Bi) to obtain video drive signals (Ro, Go, Bo) driving the display device (DD). A ratio of values of the video drive signals (Ro, Go, Bo) determines the color displayed. The computer (PC) is programmed to: (i) control the graphics adapter (GA) for generating display information which obtains a graphical representation (L; T) of various colors, and a graphical indication (I; Pl) for graphically indicating white colors in the graphical representation (L; T), and (ii) receive a user command (UC) indicating a selected color (Co) in the graphical representation (L; T).
