Diffuse Reflectance and Ambient Contrast Measurement Methods for Flat Panel Displays

Published

Author(s)

Edward F. Kelley

Abstract

Several diffuse-reflectance measurement methods are provided to help characterize the reflection properties of electronic displays. The ambient contrast for any desired illuminance is obtained by scaling the measurement results. Discussions are included on illuminant spectra and the problems of fluorescence.
