“…The other is negative polarity which refers to the condition where light characters are displayed on a dark background. Generally, positive display polarity reduces optical distortion and enhances contrast sensitivity, depth of field, speed of lens accommodation, visual discrimination, and visual identification of motion (Bauer and Cavonius 1980, Feng, et al 2008, Mayr and Buchner 2010. Positive polarity displays were rated higher than negative ones when visual acuity and luminance contrast were considered important for a task (Bergqvist 1984), and when pupil and lens accommodation were tested (Saito et al 1989).…”

Effect of display polarity and luminance contrast on visual lobe shape characteristics

2012

The effect of display polarity and luminance contrast on visual lobe (effective visual field) shape characteristics was studied using three levels of luminance contrast with combinations of positive and negative polarities. The binocular effective visual field for a detection task, with a peripherally presented target (V) embedded in a homogeneous competing background (Xs), was mapped on 24 imaginary axes passing through the fixation point. The results showed that visual lobes mapped using positive polarity were statistically larger in area, rounder and more regular in shape than those for negative polarity. The medium contrast condition lobes were more symmetric and regular than low contrast condition lobes, and lobe area and perimeter increased with increasing luminance contrast ratio. Under the interaction of positive polarity and high luminance contrast, visual lobes were found to be larger, smoother and rounder. The high level of luminance and contrast however resulted in a higher degree of visual discomfort. The results indicated that positive polarity and contrast of medium (26:1) to high (41:1) levels are possible display settings for better visual lobe characteristics and better anticipated search performance.Practitioner Summary: The effect of display polarity and luminance contrast on visual lobe shape characteristics was examined with uniform stimulus materials in this study. The results help to identify the optimum display settings for luminance contrast and display polarity to enhance lobe shape characteristics and hence search performance in industrial inspection tasks.

“…Based on this categorisation, the colour combinations that could yield better task performance in visual discrimination were found to belong to the category of negative polarity (e.g., yellow on blue). Nevertheless, some research has found that positive polarity outperformed negative polarity in enhancing visual discrimination, identification, and perceived comfort (Bauer et al., 1980; Nishiyama, 1990; Snyder et al., 1990; Taptagaporn and Saito, 1990; Saito et al., 1993; Sanders and McCormick, 1993; Shieh and Lin, 2000; Wang et al., 2003; Chan and Lee, 2005; Feng et al., 2008; Mayr and Buchner, 2010; Tsang et al., 2012). For example, Shieh and Lin (2000) used a visual identification task to investigate 12 colour combinations from four colours (yellow, blue, red, and purple), half with negative polarity and half with positive polarity.…”

Application of colour combinations on visual search tasks under vibration environments

Colour is widely utilised as a visual coding system in visual search, but its application under vibration conditions (e.g., in various vehicles) has not been fully explored. This study was designed to examine the effect of colour combinations on performance of visual search tasks conducted in vibration conditions. Forty-eight university students participated in an experiment where they were required to identify target type and location under 24 colour combinations (half in negative polarity and half in positive polarity) and three vibration conditions (static, low, and high). The findings showed that vibration did not significantly affect performance, perceptions, or physiological aspects. Colour combination significantly affected response time, and the participants preferred colour combinations that had the potential to produce better performance. Colour combinations with negative polarity (e.g., yellow on black and white on black) are recommended for presenting search interfaces. These findings are of importance in human–computer interface designs for information display under vibration conditions.

“…Visual search performance has been reported to be aff ected by target motion (Feng, Tseng, Chao, & Lin, 2008), target diffi culty (Chan & Tang, 2007), and eye movements (Rayner, 2009); and has been shown to be highly correlated with visual lobe size (Courtney & Chan, 1986;Hong & Drury, 2002;Chan & So, 2006). Visual lobe size generally refers to the area of a visual lobe.…”

“…Recent studies on visual inspection have included exploration of search strategies in aircraft inspection, microchip inspection in the electronics industry, and military target acquisition (Gramopadhye, Drury, Jiang, & Screenivasan, 2002;Liang, 2008). Visual search performance has been reported to be aff ected by target motion (Feng, Tseng, Chao, & Lin, 2008), target diffi culty (Chan & Tang, 2007), and eye movements (Rayner, 2009); and has been shown to be highly correlated with visual lobe size (Courtney & Chan, 1986;Hong & Drury, 2002;Chan & So, 2006).

Effect of Color Contrast on Visual Lobe Shape Characteristics

This study examined the effects of the color contrast of target and background objects on visual lobe area and shape characteristics. For visual lobe mapping the participants had to locate a single colour target amongst a homogeneous background of non-targets during a brief presentation. Targets of six different colors (red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple) were tested, the non-targets were black and the background was metallic grey. The results showed that color contrast did not affect visual lobe parameters under the constant luminance contrast condition of 6:1 tested in the experiment. Subjective preference evaluations showed that the blue and purple targets resulted in the highest visual comfort and overall preference, respectively, while the yellow target was the most negatively rated. The color preferences here were somewhat different from the previous color combination studies. It might be due in part to the constant luminance contrast and display polarity used here.
