“…Legibility is one of the most commonly used ergonomic criteria for displays. [22][23][24][25] The 10 critical factors determining legibility are ambient luminance, illumination, contrast, color combinations, font, text size, letter size, visual crowding, and positional angle, and display. 26 Many studies have been conducted on legibility equations.…”

This study investigated the effects of the curvature of curved computer displays on the visual performance, fatigue, and emotional image quality experienced by users during the performance of visual tasks. The characteristics of curved displays were compared and analyzed for different curvatures to investigate whether the curved displays showed improvements in terms of convenience of use when compared with flat displays. The visual performance results for the evaluated displays can be classified into three groups according to their response times, as (2000R = 2500R) > (3000R) > (3800R = 4500R = Flat). The visual fatigue results for average pupil size during a search task was 3.468 mm for flat and 3.355 mm for 2000R. This means that a 2000R curved display was found to be easier to use and thus generated less visual fatigue than a flat display when performing the same visual search task. Further, the results indicated that visual performance improved and visual fatigue decreased significantly as curvature increased. In this study, a curvature limit of 1700R was derived, when considering the image distortion of a 34‐in 21:9 curved display, and there was found to be no difference in the emotional image quality at curvatures greater than 2000R.

“…Up to now, several studies have investigated the practical utility of surface treatments based on reflective-type electronic paper. Lin et al 11 examined the effects of anti-glare treatment and indicated that 43% haze and have 7.5% haze have the same visual performance. Lin et al 12 evaluated the influences of anti-reflection treatment and noted that the better treatment of 0.8% AR could significantly improve the legibility.…”

“…Until now, this useful method has been widely employed for electronic-paper assessment by many researchers. 11,12,19 On the other hand, visual-fatigue measurements can be classified into psychological and physiological indexes. Employing subjective questionnaire to assess psychological visual fatigue is easy to administer and more sensitive than physiological measures.…”

Abstract— This study is intended to explore the legibility and visual fatigue of different age users under various surface treatments and reflectance of electronic paper. Through the method of character‐search task, the results indicated that compared with single types of treatment [anti‐reflection (AR) 0.8%, anti‐glare, 43% haze), the compound treatment of anti‐reflection and anti‐glare (ARC) exhibited the same legibility, and it showed superior properties to effectively reduce visual fatigue. Hence, it is suggested that electronic‐paper manufacturers should choose the compound surface treatment for better visual performance. On the other hand, the findings also validated that enhancing the reflectance of electronic paper to the same level as regular paper (about 80%) is worthy to be practically implemented. Based on the results of this study, electronic‐paper manufacturers can take useful information to fulfill ergonomic requirements on product design.

“…whereas, the tablets adopt the LED (light-emitting diode)-lit LCD (liquid crystal display) displays, which needs background lighting to display in a dark environment (Lee et al, 2011, Lin et al, 2008, & Ballhaus et al, 2010. The two different display technologies have both advantages and disadvantages to present digital format content.…”

“…Research has proved that the e-ink display technology has fewer glares on the screen. This feature will help to reduce visual fatigue when reading on an electronic device (Lin et al, 2008). However, the limitation of e-ink display technology is that it can only present black and white content with gray scales.…”
