scope:

This part of IEC 62977 specifies standard evaluation methods for determining the colour capabilities of electronic display modules and systems with respect to colour accuracy, colour gamut volume, and their intersection with a reference colour space. Also included is evaluation with respect to the chromaticity gamut area. These methods apply to emissive and transmissive direct view displays that render real 2D images on a flat panel or on a curved panel with a local radius of curvature larger than 1 500 mm. This document evaluates the optical characteristics of these displays under darkroom conditions. This document applies to the testing of display performance in response to standard analogue or digital input signals that are not absolute luminance encoded. The input signal is relative RGB without metadata information that codes for real luminance, colour space or colour coordinates. These methods are limited to input signals with typical opto-electronic transfer functions (OETFs) such as defined in IEC 61966-2-1, Recommendation ITU-R BT.601 [18]¹, Recommendation ITU-R BT.709, and Recommendation ITU-R BT.2020. The tests in this document are not suitable for use with HDR input signals.

NOTE A flat panel or flat panel display is a display with a planar surface that emits light from the surface. The display can consist of light valves modulating a backlight or be self-luminous. Emissive, transmissive, or reflective hybrid displays can be non-planar panel, non-planar panel displays, curved (design) panel, or curved (design) panel displays.
