Display metrology is discussed as applied to electronic displays and especially flat panel displays (FPDs). Topics include the importance of proper set up, expected measurement uncertainty vs. repeatability, and problems in making accurate light measurements and properly detecting and managing stray light. The role played by measurement diagnostics is considered and encouragement is given to employ such diagnostics routinely. Emphasis is given to reflection measurements and why they are so troublesome. Although primary emphasis is given to direct-view displays and projection displays, preliminary discussions are included concerning the metrology of microdisplays, head mounted displays, and near eye displays. A review of the status of international display standards is also provided.
