A method for transforming three color input signals (R, G, B) corresponding to three gamut defining color primaries to four color output signals (R′, G′, B′, W) corresponding to the gamut defining color primaries and one additional color primary W for driving a display having emitters that emit light corresponding to the to the four color output signals including calculating a common signal value S as a function F1 of the three color input signals (R,G,B) for a current and neighboring pixels; determining a final common signal value S′ based upon the common signals for the current and neighboring pixels; calculating the three color signals (R′,G′,B′) by calculating a value of a function F2 of the final common signal value S′ and adding it to each of the three color input signals (R,G,B); and calculating the output signal W as a function F3 of the final common signal value S′.

Reflective color filters using layers of cholesteric liquid crystals with two different center wavelengths and bandwidths per layer are stacked in two layers to provide colored light for displays. With a two layer stack circularly polarized light of one handedness can be provided. With a two layer stack circulary unpolarized colored light can be provided. With a broadband polarizing filter overlapping other filters in the stack a black matrix can be provided by reflecting all colors and transmitting no light in the overlapping areas. When broadband reflective cholesteric liquid crystals are used two primary colors can be reflected in the same pixel of a display making reflective layers with two reflective portions per layer possible. Color displays having three linear sub-pixels with three primary colors or with four sub-pixels of white, blue, green, and red in a pixel with two colors in a top row and two colors on a bottom row can are made with two colors per layer in two layer stacks. The pixels in the display are arranged such that multiple adjacent sub-pixels in a layer, or row in a layer, with the same color makes the color filters easier to manufacture. Displays using these reflective color filters may have a reflective polarizer for viewing the display at wide angles without color distortion.

A device, system and a method for displaying image data of a plurality of colors, the device comprising a light source (50) for producing light having at least four primary colors, a controller (56, 58) for determining a combination of at least four primary colors according to the image data (72) for production by the light source and a viewing screen (60) for displaying the image data the combination from the controller. The present invention is not limited to combinations of colors which are produced from only three primary colors, such as red, green and blue.
