“…Therefore, besides difference of luminance, there could be existed the parameter which affects readability. According to previous study [11], it has been shown that psychological measure for "favorability" on color combination affects readability. This was also suggested by the result that the value of visibility was lined up in order of each pattern of color combinations.…”

Abstract. In this study, conspicuity and readability of the text on light-emitting diode (LED) information boards were evaluated by psychological experiments, and the influences of color combinations of text / background, luminance, and shadow were evaluated quantitatively. In recent years, LED boards have been able to display full-color images, and they have many functions to highlight text. Therefore, it is assumed that the LED board ability to function may be reduced depending on the way it is used. We investigated the relationship of color combinations of text and background, luminance, and shadow to conspicuity and readability to evaluate ease and efficiency of information communication via the LED board. We found that (1) the size of the area with high luminance affected conspicuity, (2) the difference of luminance of the part adjacent to the text/background affected readability, and (3) shadow affected both conspicuity and readability. Furthermore, trade-off between them was confirmed.

“…In this study, we used combinations of different colors for text and background; however, previous studies determined that there was a color that was most suitable for texts [11]. Future studies should address how these findings would relate to people's color perception or visibility.…”
