Title The perception of flicker and glare on computer CRT displays
Bibliographic information Apr. 1983, Vol.25, No.2, p.177-184. Illus. 6 ref.
Abstract 21 volunteers rated their discomfort due to direct glare, reflected glare and flicker under various conditions of ambient illuminance, video screen luminance, and video polarity. The viewing angle at which flicker was first noted was measured. Video luminance had the greatest impact on comfort: low to moderate levels of ambient illuminance minimise discomfort. Methods of reducing luminance without decreasing the legibility of the display are discussed.
