The authors' proposed methodology for characterizing the grayscale degradation in chromaticity for color monitors that can be used to establish standards and procedures aiding in the quality control testing of color displays and color measurement instrumentation.
The physical image quality of two new high‐performance monochrome active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs), a 2‐ and a 5‐million‐pixel display, is reviewed. The performance is illustrated by examples (because of space limitations) of on‐axis and off‐axis characteristic curves, luminance range and contrast, luminance uniformity across the display screen, temporal modulation transfer function (MTF), spatial MTF, spatial noise power spectra and spatial signal‐to‐noise ratios. The LCDs are equipped with an internal photosensor that maintains a desired maximum luminance and calibration to a given display function. The systems offer aperture and temporal modulation to place luminance levels with more than 12‐bit precision on a desired display function and achieve uniform contrast distribution over the luminance range for a narrow viewing angle perpendicular to the LCD face. The image quality of the LCDs is compared with that of high‐performance high‐resolution cathode‐ray‐tube (CRT) displays.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
