Display Reflectance Model Based on the BRDF

Abstract
Many flat panel displays (FPDs) permit anti-reflection surface treatments that differ in character from those of traditional cathode-ray-tube displays. Specular reflection models (mirror-like, producing a distinct image) combined with diffuse (Lambertian) reflection models can be entirely inadequate to characterize the reflection properties of such displays. A third reflection component, called haze, exists between specular and diffuse. Display metrology should account for the haze component of reflection. That is best done using the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). The effects of using oversimplified reflectance models are discussed in contrast with a parameterized BRDF.Citation
