  • Grayscale Vs. Monochrome Scanning
    13615 NE 126th Place #450 Kirkland, WA 98034 USA Website:www.pimage.com Grayscale vs. Monochrome Scanning This document is intended to discuss why it is so important to scan microfilm and microfiche in grayscale and to show the limitations of monochrome scanning. The best analogy for the limitations of monochrome scanning is if you have every tried to photocopy your driver licenses. The picture can go completely black. This is because the copier can only reproduce full black or full white and not gray levels. If you place the copier in photo mode it is able to reproduce shades of gray. Grayscale scanning is analogous to the photo modes setting on your copier. The types of items on microfilm that are difficult to reproduce in monochrome are pencil on a blue form, light signatures, date stamps and embossing. In grayscale these items have a much higher probability to reproduce in the scanned version. Certainly there are instances where filming errors exist and the film is almost pure black or pure white. This can happen if the door to the room was opened during filming, if the canister had light intrusion prior to developing or if the chemicals or temperature were off on the developer. If these are identified the vendor can make a lamp adjustment in these sections of film or if they are frequent and the vendor has the proper cameras, they can scan at a higher bit depth. We have the ability to scan at bit depths higher than 8 bit gray up to 12 bits. 8 bit supports 256 levels of gray, 10bit supports 1024 levels and 12 bit 4096 levels.

  • Duotones Duotones, As the Name Implies, Are Images with Two Color Tones
    Duotones Duotones, as the name implies, are images with two color tones. In its simplest form, duotones can be used to create an image like a black-and-white photograph, but using any color base you want. In its more complex form, a duotone can create an image of contrasting colors to produce a dramatic visual effect. Let’s start with a quick look at how to create simple duotones from a photograph, and we want to produce a two-tone vaguely yellowish image for a particular project. We’ll convert this image to a duotone with complete control over the colors we use… There are several ways to create a duotone in Photoshop, including working with layers (for strongly graphic duotones images) and the channel mixer (for more traditional color- scaled images). In this case, we’ll use the latter approach first to show how to accomplish this effect. After opening your image, open the Channel Mixer (Image > Adjustments > Channel Mixer) and click the Monochrome box. Then, you can use the Red, Green and Blue channel sliders to control the contrast of the image. Keep in mind that the total values for the three color channels need to add up to approximately 100%: The Channel Mixer lets you adjust the RGB components. Keep in mind this is still a color image! Although it looks like a back-and-white image, it isn’t. The image still is in RGB color, so it has to be turned into a true grayscale image using the Image > Mode > Grayscale option, saying “Yes” to discarding the color information in the image: Now we can remove the color components Now, to convert the image into a duotone you need to load a duotone layer.

  • New Color Patterning Techniques for OLED Displays
    New Color Patterning Techniques for OLED Displays by Yoshitaka Kajiyama A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 ©Yoshitaka Kajiyama 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are light emitting devices consisting of a stack of organic semiconductors sandwiched by electrodes. Since the first report of a high-efficiency device by Tang and Van Slyke in 1987, OLEDs have attracted considerable attention, particularly for use in flat panel displays. OLEDs provide these products improved power consumption, contrast, response speed, viewing angle, and compatibility with flexible displays. The performance of OLEDs has improved considerably, especially in terms of stability and efficiency, so they can now meet the requirements for some display products. However, the commercialization of OLED displays remains limited and is hampered primarily by manufacturing issues. These issues include low manufacturing yield, high fabrication cost, and low display quality. Manufacturing issues are largely attributed to difficulties with the color patterning process, the fabrication process by which arrays of red, green and blue (RGB) OLEDs can be made side-by-side on one substrate in order to obtain a full-color display. Currently, RGB color patterning is done by sequential vacuum deposition of red, green and blue materials through a pre-patterned shadow mask, which is typically made of a thin metal sheet.

  • Color Plotting83 Unisec User Guide
    Color Plotting83 Unisec User Guide Color Plotting Color display modes There are two color display modes for seismic traces: • Color Background: a color trace is displayed behind the wiggle trace. The color trace data is either derived from the same trace data used to draw the wiggle or a second source. Each sample is colored with a rectangle equal to one trace in width and one sample in height. This mode is sometimes referred to as Variable Density color. • Color VA fill: the wiggle trace is color VA filled in either/ or peaks and troughs. Like background color fill, the color trace data is either derived from the same trace data used to draw the wiggle or a second source. In both modes the wiggle is displayed in black as a conventional wiggle trace. The color display modes are controlled by the DISP keyword on the PARMS statement: Examples PARMS, DISP=WCB produces a black wiggle with color background. PARMS, DISP=WCPT produces a black wiggle with color VA fill of the peaks and troughs. PARMS, DISP=CB produces a color background only, no wiggles. Color Trace Data Scaling (CCLASS) The CCLASS allows you to specify a relationship between ranges of trace data values and colors plotted. The class intervals are automatically annotated on the color scale. CCLASS is optional when the auto scaling (AUTOSC) function is used. In this case, if the CCLASS is omitted, the minimum and maximum is automatically derived from the trace data. Format CCLASS, title = (min TO max [BY interval]) Where: title = color scale title (maximum 40 characters).
