Opis

From television to computers, from coffee makers to aircraft cockpits, electronic displays form a significant part of many aspects of our day-to-day life. Whole industries have been developed around various display technologies but despite this widespread usage, display measurements have long been a source of difficulty for designers, manufacturers, users and technicians. Conflicts over performance specifications are a daily occurrence; measurements do not always accurately reflect how the human eye sees the display; and, the combination of spectral, spatial and temporal characteristics result in poor measurement accuracy.

The first and only complete reference on how to measure, test, and compare electronic displays

Electronic Display Measurement is the first complete reference manual in its field and a practical guide to the most reliable techniques, methods, and instruments available for measuring electronic displays. Supplemented with an extensive bibliography, useful industry standards, and difficult–to–find conversions, equations, and tables, this book also includes an appendix of equipment manufacturers and nearly 100 illustrations and charts. A discussion of the common pitfalls involved in measuring displays promises to bring some needed standardization to the field.

This easy–to–understand manual helps you gauge the dependability, accuracy, and competitiveness of any electronic display. Electronic Display Measurement shows you how to measure:
∗ Luminance.
∗ Resolution.
∗ Contrast.
∗ Quality.Color.
∗ Uniformity.
∗ Registration.
∗ And more.

Electronic Display Measurement explains difficult concepts clearly and describes delicate procedures step–by–step. It is the most up–to–date guide available for designers, engineers, and manufacturers of display systems who need to develop precise, reliable methods for evaluating electronic displays.
