Impediments to Reproducibility in Display Metrology

Published

Author(s)

Edward F. Kelley

Abstract

Most people are surprised to learn of the complexities of measuring the performance of electronic displays. Serious errors are encountered in even seemingly simple measurements if we blithely measure displays without being aware of the pitfalls. We discuss the nefarious veiling glare, the measurment of resolution, the remarkable complications found in reflection measurements, and other surprises that affect reproducibility of the measurements.
