  • Publication number: 20240290238
    Abstract: In some examples, a non-transitory machine-readable medium stores machine-readable instructions. When executed by a controller, the machine-readable instructions cause the controller to drive a first subset of multiple light sources of a display device using a first color gamut matrix and drive a second subset of the multiple light sources of the display device using a second color gamut matrix. A light source of the second subset is a same type of light source as a light source of the first subset.
