Display Simulation and Analysis: Two-Primary Color and Alternative Gray ScaleDistribution

摘要

Two areas of display innovation have been identified which will promote thedevelopment of helmet or head mounted displays (HMDs) that are both small and inexpensive, while delivering high performance and reliability at the same time. These innovations involve the use of two-primary color displays and alternative gray scale control. Two-primary color displays offer the advantage of significant reductions in cost and complexity for applications such as aircraft helmet mounted sights and field process control monitors where the display requirements call for greater than monochrome, yet less than full, color, especially for subtractive color displays. Alternative gray scale control offers the potential for reduction of perceptual artifacts such as luminance and color handing, especially in displays with relatively limited numbers of gray scale levels. This report describes five principal tasks completed by Honeywell in the simulation and analysis of two-primary color display and alternative gray scale concepts: Display Requirement Analysis; System Configuration Concepts; Test Cell Fabrication and Evaluation; Display Analysis; and Simulation Development and Evaluation. The report also includes suggestions for additional future research.
