CRT versus LCD: effects of refresh rate, display technology and background luminance in visual performance

Adaptive luminance contrast for enhancing reading performance and visual comfort on smartphone displays

“…Above all, supplementary research should be conducted to examine the effect of display backlight and ambient illuminance on the adaptive luminance contrast, because visual performance depends on both contrast and luminance. 7 Previous studies discovered that ambient illuminance plays an important role in visual perception and preference of display. [33][34][35][36][37] Reading is also influenced by backlight luminance.…”

“…4,5 Hence, recent studies have accordingly devoted more attention to discovering the appropriate luminance on displays such as smartphones, e-books, and tablet PCs. 4,[6][7][8] The studies suggest particular luminances to prevent visual fatigue caused by displaying materials, but these suggestions lack careful consideration of the human visual system. People do not perceive luminance in absolute terms but rather they see luminance contrast.…”

Reading tilted: Does the use of tablets impact performance? An oculometric study

“…Previous work mainly aimed at evaluating the differences in reading between several devices based on their visual aspects (Benedetto, Drai-Zerbib, Pedrotti, Tissier, & Baccino, 2013;Menozzi, Lang, Näpflin, Zeller, & Krueger, 2001). But these aspects are not the sole differences between new and older devices.…”

A visual ergonomic evaluation of different screen types and screen technologies with respect to discrimination performance

“…Many studies have examined the impact of refresh rates and screen flicker, and revealed that it is a major source of performance decrements (e.g. Menozzi et al, 1999Menozzi et al, , 2001 and visual fatiguing (e.g. Jaschinski et al, 1996).…”
