Displays utilizing a 8 bit technology, that degrades the image during the video elaboration phase, are able to visualize 256 color’s levels for each of the three primary colors. This means that are able to visualize 256 x 256 x 256 = 16,8 millions colors in total. Euro Display’s maxi-screens instead utilize a 16 bit technology for each color that allows to manage the video without altering the quality in a perceptible way (so the human eye does not notice it). After this elaboration (called Gamma Correction) it is possible to visualize 65.000 color’s levels for each of the three primary colors. This means that it is possible to visualize on your
electronic billboard 65.000 x 65.000 x 65.000 = 280 trillions colors in total.
