Abstract
We discuss the true definitions of specular and diffuse reflection. Many people think that diffuse reflection is Lambertian reflection. Such is not the case. Lambertian is a special type of diffuse reflection, and the often-used equations for Lambertian reflection cannot, in general, be used in display-reflection considerations.Citation
