3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein
the at least one processor is further configured to: obtain a first value based on the first spectrum information and the information on the first CMF, obtain the first test image based on a first inverse value of the first value and the first stimulus value information, obtain a second value based on the first spectrum information and the information on the second CMF, and obtain the second test image based on a second inverse value of the second value and the second stimulus value information.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one processor is further configured to: obtain, based on an image from among the test images being selected according to a user input, stimulus value information of an input pixel value corresponding to a reference display, wherein the stimulus value information of the input pixel value is based on information on a CMF corresponding to the selected test image and third spectrum information of the reference display, and obtain an output pixel value by correcting the input pixel value based on the stimulus value information of the input pixel value, the information on the CMF corresponding to the selected test image, and the first spectrum information.

5 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein
the at least one processor is further configured to: obtain a third value based on the first spectrum information and the information on the CMF corresponding to the selected test image, and obtain the output pixel value by multiplying a third inverse value of the third value and the stimulus value information of the input pixel value to the input pixel value.

6 . The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the first spectrum information of the display comprises:
first spectroscopic spectrum characteristic information of the display for maximum R/G/B pixel values; and wherein the third spectrum information of the reference display comprises: reference spectroscopic spectrum characteristic information of the reference display for maximum R/G/B pixel values.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one processor is further configured to: control, while the test image is being displayed in the external display device, the display to display one or more test images from among the test images, identify an image from among the test images based on a user input received while the one or more test images are being displayed, and identify a CMF corresponding to the identified test image as a CMF corresponding to a user recognition characteristic.

8 . The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein
the at least one processor is further configured to: display, while the test image is being displayed in the external display device, a first user interface (UI) screen comprising a first test image and a second test image from among the test images, and then consecutively display a second UI screen comprising the first test image and a third test image from among the test images, or display the first UI screen comprising the first test image and the second test image from among the test images, and then consecutively display a third UI screen comprising the third test image and a fourth test image.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one processor is further configured to: obtain, for each of a first number of test images, a total of a second number of test images by obtaining test images for each of a third number of CMFs based on the first spectrum information, wherein the second number is a product of multiplication of the first number and the third number.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein
the display is implemented as a wide color gamut display.

11 . A control method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
identifying a first spectrum information of a display comprised in the electronic device; obtaining picture spectrum information of a test image based on a second spectrum information of an external display device displaying the test image; obtaining test images based on the picture spectrum information, the first spectrum information, and information on a plurality of color matching functions (CMFs), wherein the test images comprise a respective test image for each of the plurality of CMFs corresponding to the test image; and displaying the test images on the display comprised in the electronic device.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein
the obtaining the test images for each of the plurality of CMFs comprises: obtaining first stimulus value information corresponding to a first CMF and second stimulus value information corresponding to a second CMF from among the plurality of CMFs based on the picture spectrum information; obtaining a first test image corresponding to the first CMF based on the first stimulus value information, information on the first CMF, and the first spectrum information; and obtaining a second test image corresponding to the second CMF based on the second stimulus value information, information on the second CMF, and the first spectrum information.
