All video displays derive their colors from the three video "primary" colors: red, green and blue. By combining these in different amounts, engineers can theoretically reproduce every other visible hue. But there are limitations. Today's plasmas and yesterday's cathoderay tube televisions, for example, make red, green and blue phosphors glow at just the right brightness to create specific colors, but even the best of these TVs can reproduce no more than about half the color spectrum visible by the human eye. Put simply, the red, green and blue just aren't red, green or blue enough to do justice to real life. Likewise, the red, green and blue filters used to create color from "white" light in most LCD flat-panels are even more limited than a plasma's phosphors in reproducing the full range of color. Enter laser—an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. That's a pretty technical term, but practically speaking, laser light differs from ordinary light in some remarkable and beneficial ways. Unlike broad-spectrum white light that illuminates our world, laser light can be generated to reproduce only a very narrow bandwidth of the visible spectrum — far more narrow than you'd get from using phosphors or by filtering white light to produce the red, green and blue primaries. The result, shown in the Spectrum Comparison below, is much purer, brighter, primary colors from which to generate all the remaining colors.
