Lecture 19: Intro To Color Science (141)

If I am interpreting this image correctly is it implying that the Apple device still does not cover the entire gamut of that our visual system can perceive since the area is only a small part of the entire shaded region? If so what are some of the technologies that need to be implemented to increase the color gamut and is it possible to span the entire visually perceivable gamut?

I suppose it may be possible to produce these colors on displays in theory, but due to the large compression of colors at the vertices in terms of human perception, I'm not sure if it would be worth it to develop such displays, even for artistic applications that require high color gamut.

I am wondering why both Apple P3 and sRGB gamuts are triangles. Is it because some of the led lights used for the displays have a red/blue/greenish tone even when turned completely off? Also, using three different types of lights to cover the whole gamut must be difficult.

I was surprised to learn that average displays only cover 35% of visible colors according to this article, https://www.asus.com/content/understanding-color-gamut-specs-on-laptop-displays/. But you can definitely do better than that. This site, https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/picture-quality/color-gamut, lets you see the displays with the largest covering of visible colors and they're all 98% and above.
