light (RGB)
X印はRGB各色のLED光源の色度点、
O印はRGB各色のHDTVの色度点を示している。
I'm trying to deal with 各色 the way it is used in this document. In some contexts, it appears to be "multicolor", in others, simply "color". Here it might quite literally "each color" (of RGB).
1. RGB各色=> for each RGB color?
Xs indicate chromaticity points for LED light sources for each RGB color, and
Os indicate chromaticity points for HDTV for each RGB color.
2. RGB各色 => RGB color
Xs indicate chromaticity points for RGB color LED light sources, and
Os indicate chromaticity points for RGB color HDTV.
Anyone know for certain? Thanks for looking.

RGB color components
just Google for my target term ...
Each of the three beams is called a component of that color, and each of them can have an arbitrary intensity, from fully off to fully on, in the mixture. The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation, and display of images in electronic systems, such as televisions and computers, though it has also been used in conventional photography. Before the electronic age, the RGB color model already had a solid theory behind it, based in human perception of colors.
RGB is a device-dependent color model: different devices detect or reproduce a given RGB value differently, since the color elements (such as phosphors or dyes) and their response to the individual R, G, and B levels vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, or even in the same device over time. Thus an RGB value does not define the same color across devices without some kind of color management.
Typical RGB input devices are color TV and video cameras, image scanners, and digital cameras. Typical RGB output devices are TV sets of various technologies (CRT, LCD, plasma, etc.), computer and mobile phone displays, video projectors, multicolor LED displays, and large screens such as JumboTron. Color printers, on the other hand, are not RGB devices, but subtractive color devices (typically CMYK color model).

I would omit 各色 and use only "RGB" or "red, green, and blue"

Discussion
So that contribution contains ideas that might be of use to improve the flow of the explanation involved, but was not properly focused nor relevant.
It is clear that different saturation points must be set for different types of transducers (LED. vs HDTV).
What remains unknown to us, outsiders to this text, is whether the same applies to different colour frequencies.
Does the text say anything about that? From recent experience, everyone can notice that a Red LED traffic light signal is visible from further away than a Green one. That problem presumably can be ignored in the case of HDTV display (but perhaps not!); if it can be ignored in the case of HDTV, but not in the LED light case, then the answer may be more complex that your query assumed, namely:
'discrete saturation point for each of primary colours RGB, in the case of LED light generation'
but
'shared saturation point for all 3 primary colours RGB, in the case of HDTV display.'
The sample you posted does not suffice to reach a decision on this. You would need to trawl your document further either to confirm/ eliminate the above hypothesis. HTH.
Of course you cannot do this if the original is a patent, but you certainly are encouraged to switch from 'translator' to 'document writer' function, if you work in-house for a pool of development engineers who demand crystal clear specs to work from. So here it is a try:
Setting discrete threshold values for each of [the primary colours:] Red, Green, and Blue, (i.e. assigning discrete and different numeric values [from 0 to 255] to their respective parametric ranges) results in different primary, secondary, or tertiary colours being output [depending on whether two, one or none of the primary colours has/have been set to Value 0.]
Clearly, they are talking about each of the colors in this context, since on a CIE diagram, by varying the intensity of each individual diode, you get a different color. I'm just trying to find an elegant way to express this in English.
