“…Text display speed with the dynamic display type affected a user's visual performance in Wang and Kan's (2004) study. To determine the appropriate speed for scrolling text, Chen and Chien (2005) studied the effect of dynamic display and scrolling speed on reading Chinese text on a small screen. They suggested that a vertical continuous scrolling at a speed of 305 cpm should be used for Chinese characters on mobile phone screens.…”

Despite the popularity of mobile reading devices, many studies have indicated that small screens restrict information transmission, adversely affecting reading performance on mobile devices. Moreover, mobile reading typically occurs in different reading contexts. Therefore, suitable text display type for mobile reading in different reading contexts should be considered, such that learners can effectively read content. This work selected the frequently used static and dynamic text display types (i.e. Paging and Auto-scrolling) and assessed their effects on mobile reading performance. Furthermore, the features of static and dynamic text display types were considered when designing a mixed text display type for mobile reading. Based on brainwave detector, reading-comprehension test sheet, and cognitive-load scale, this work designed a mobile reading experiment with a two-factor experimental design to assess the effects of the selected static, dynamic, and designed text display types, which were respectively presented in sitting, standing, and walking contexts, on reading comprehension, sustained attention, and cognitive load of learners. Experimental results show that sitting obtained the highest sustained attention and the mixed text garnered lowest sustained attention. Moreover, although analytical results show that no significant difference existed in overall reading comprehension with each text type presented with the mobile reading contexts, reading comprehension (i.e. memory, comprehension, and application types) was significantly affected by the reading context, and to some degree, the text display type. This work also found that the text display type is a major factor affecting learners' cognitive load; however, learners' cognitive load is not be affected by the considered reading contexts. Among the three text display types, the mixed type generates the highest cognitive load, followed by the dynamic type, and then the static type. In conclusion, the three reading contexts with the three text display types have both advantages and disadvantages for reading comprehension, sustained attention, and cognitive load. As a result, text display type for mobile reading on small screens should be adjusted according to reading context or to improve reading comprehension, attention, or cognitive load.

“…Sandfeld and Jensen's (2005) [2] findings indicated that decreasing letter and target size impaired task performance; that is, participants did worse with small targets than they did with large ones in the same task. However, research by Chen and Chien (2005) [3] indicated that font and font size had no effect on reading efficiency. They found that how the information was displayed and the speed in which it was displayed affected comprehension of a given message.…”

The present study, by moving window paradigm, investigated the effects of three background colors (black, white, and blue) matched with font colors (five font colors in each background color level) on Chinese text reading. The results indicated that the reading efficiency was better when background-font color matched in the following pairs: white-black, white-blue, blue-yellow and blue-white. And the reading efficiency was lower when black back-color matched with white, red, green, purple, and white matched with red. Finally, the implications of these results on human computer interface design were discussed.

Text size and intra-character density are important factors affecting usability and safety of in-vehicle digital displays. This research sought to determine the minimum text size that users find comfortable and acceptable for use in a car, and compare two languages utilizing character sets with very different intracharacter densities. Self-reports of minimum comfortable English text sizes were found to be compatible with the minimum criteria outlined in previous research. Minimum comfortable traditional Chinese text sizes were found to be slightly larger. Implications for future research and driver distraction guidelines are discussed.
