| Abstract |
Study of 109 operator's posts equipped with 2 types of CRT display terminals, revealing a wide range of differences as regards the intensity of flickering and the sharpness of the displayed text. The study covered not only flickering, sharpness and stability of the characters, but also contrast of luminance in the field of vision. Definition of the parameters considered and description of measurement apparatus. Considerable differences were observed from the ergonomic point of view, which leads to the presumption that manufacturers give priority to the technical requirements of data processing rather than to human factors.
