Influence of the ambient illuminance on the subjective brightness measurements

摘要

The subjective brightness is determined by not only the display screen luminance but also the light surrounding the display. A metric for space brightness named "Feu" is adopted to consider the effect of luminance distribution. The relation between the pupil diameter and the space brightness is applied to obtain the subjective brightness. The measured subjective brightness is obtained both for direct-view display and augmented reality (AR) display. The results indicate that the measured subjective brightness is much closer to the perceived result. The subjective brightness increases along with the increase of the screen luminance under the same ambient illuminance. While under the same screen luminance, the subjective brightness decreases with the increase of the ambient illuminance in most cases.
