The time dependences of the luminance properties of 55-inch CCFL and LED backlights and 32-inch FFL backlights with LCD panels were investigated during the warm-up time from the cold start. The long-term luminance maintenance curve of a standard CCFL was examined in a time window up to 5000 hours. These two time dependences are important characteristics from the viewpoint of initial picture quality and lifetime reliability, respectively. Empirical equations were suggested for the analysis of the time dependence of these luminance data. These approaches are expected to be helpful in predicting the luminance properties of backlights based on the luminance data obtained in a limited time window.

야간경관에는 수많은 광원(光源)에 의해 다양한 휘도(Luminance)로 나타난다. 휘도를 측정하는데 있어 측정 범위가 한정되어 있다. 기존의 휘도계를 이용한 측정방식은 하나의 점을 통한 점(Point)측정방식이기 때문이다. 야간경관의 휘도를 쉽고 편리하게 정보를 얻고자 휘도 측정에 있어 DSLR 카메라를 이용하게 되었다. 현재 광학의 기술로 인해 디지털 카메라의 활용가치가 매우 크며 쉽게 이미지데이터를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 디지털 이미지로부터 야간경관의 휘도 분석과 DSLR 카메라의 면(Scene) 측정방식을 통한 휘도 측정 기법에 대해 제안하고자 한다.

The study investigates the effects of luminance contrast, which is the contrast between text color and background color, on readability in VDT environments. Our research goals are to prove that the relationship between luminance contrast and readability is not linear and to explore the best luminance contrast level for optimal readability. We conducted two pretests before the main experiment to determine the operational readability and luminance contrast levels. We also conducted a controlled main experiment, in which luminance contrast, reading amount and screen size were tested in terms of its relation with readability. The results of the main experiment indicate that the readability has a non-linear relation with luminance contrast, and the optimal readability is obtained when the contrast is equal to 0.951. Furthermore, the non-linear function and optional point stay constant regardless of screen size and reading amount. The paper ends with implications of the results that maximal contrast does not always mean the optimal readability.

As ecological design elements, daylighting can be applied to provide adequate illumination on visual tasks to create an attractive visual environment and to save electrical energy. Daylighting control systems reject direct sunlight and penetrate it onto the ceiling or to deep into the room. This study aims to evaluate the luminance environment of sloped light guide with automated venetian blind systems according to sun angle changes. For evaluation, a mock-up model was used and the south facing side-window mounted between the clerestory window and the view window. To assess luminance performance, 3 view points of luminance were monitored. As results, the conventional and lightshelves show ideal luminance ratio between workplane and surroundings(3:1) and workplane and darkness area(2:1) due to total ratio of surroundings and darkness area has lower ratio than workplane. Compared to the lightshelves window, conventional window shows unrelieved effect in between the workplane and brightness area(1:5). It means that there has low deviation according to the required standards. Also, compared to the ratio between the brightness area and darkness area(2~6:1) conventional window with high deviation(10~20:1) provide discomfort glare due to the excessively strong contrast, while lightshelves window shows a required luminance ratio that provide a three-dimensional effect to occupants. Therefore, luminance distribution indicate that application of a lightshelves and blinds not only has a significantly positive effect but also offers higher luminance quality in a daylit room

The optical properties such as luminance and color coordinates for phosphor layer were studied with applied voltage and gas pressure, Xe mixing ratio, frequency using He and Xe mixing gas in chamber like AC PDP. The luminance of red phosphor layer at constant pressure(300Toor) is increased with increasing voltage, but color purity is not varied. The luminance of red phosphor layer at constant voltage(280V)is decreased with increasing pressure, but the color purity is not varied. But the luminance is increased with increasing Xe mixing ratio at constant pressure(200Toor). And also the color purity is improved by this process. The luminance is increased up to 40kHz, but the color purity with frequency is not varied.

Need of a dimmer function becomes more important with increasing interest on a HDTV for home theater applications. In a conventional AC PDP, a possible method to reduce luminance of a whole Panel is to reduce a total number of sustain pulses and then to change the gray level. However, the reduction of the total sustain number causes the step of luminance to be rough. Moreover, it is impossible to control the luminance of the panel for a given gray level. In this paper, a simple and robust method is proposed to control linearly the luminance of whole panel by applying the asymmetric sustain pulses in the display period of the ADS driving scheme. As the range of luminance control by the proposed method is about $50\%$ for a given gray level. Moreover, it is experimentally verified that the proposed method shows similar dynamic margin performances compare with the conventional method.

We have investigated current-voltage-luminance characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes based on TPD/Alq$_3$organics depending on the application of forward-backward bias voltage. Luminance-voltage characteristics and luminous efficiency were measured at the same time when the current-voltage characteristics were measured. We have observed that the current-voltage characteristics shows a reversible current maxima at low voltage, which is possibly not related to the emission from Alq$_3$. Current-voltage-luminance characteristics imply that the conduction luminance mechanism at low voltage is different from that of high voltage one.

The purpose of this study is to present the EV range in HDRI acquisition process to create luminance map. The proposed method in this study is to capture the scene at EV ${\pm}0$ that is the longest exposure points and reference point in the scene. With this reference point, sets of 25 LDRI test case were taken manually at ${\pm}2$ EV using the aperture-priority manual mode. The 25 HDRIs were created using Adobe Photoshop. The HDRIs were then imported Radiance lighting simulation program to be analyzed into falsecolor. The analysis results of the 25 HDRIs test case are 50[%] of the all tested case have a margin of error of 10[%]. In case of f/5.6, the luminance map generated with HDRI were similar to the spot luminance meter. As a result, the EV range to reduce error of luminance map generated with HDRI is EV $+2{\sim}{\pm}0{\sim}-10$.

본 연구에서는 유도등의 광원과 경년변화에 따른 휘도성능을 분석하기 위하여 사무실, 상가, 병원, 공장 등에 설치된 유도등을 발취하여 CCFL, LED광원별 경년변화에 따른 휘도성능을 분석하였다. 이는 유도등과 같은 전기적 특성을 갖는 소방제품은 설치된 곳의 주위온도나 습도, 먼지 등이 그 성능에 변화를 줄 수 있기 때문에 설치장소별로 발취하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과, CCFL유도등은 대형, 중형, 소형 모두 '휘도비 2'정도의 값을 나타내었다. 기술기준 규정값이 '휘도비 9이하'인 점을 감안할 때 매우 양호한 값을 나타냈으며, 경년변화에 의한 휘도비 변화도 거의 없음을 확인할 수 있었다. LED유도등은 '휘도비 5'정도의 값을 나타냈으며, 이는 표시면의 빛이 균일하지 못함을 뜻한다. 또한 경년변화에 의한 휘도비 변화는 거의 없으나, 휘도비의 값은 LED유도등보다 크게 나타났다. 이는 시각적인 측면에서는 만족스럽지 못한 결과이다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 LED광원의 빛 분산이 필요하며 휘도비 관련 규정을 강화할 필요가 있다.

In the present study, we investigated the physiological effects of smartphone use at night when the display luminance and white balance were differently manipulated. Two levels of luminance and two types of white balance were combined to form four types of displays. Subjects were instructed to use smartphones between 23:00 to 01:00 twice a week for two weeks, and for each trial, subjects were given one of the four display types. Melatonin concentration in the saliva, body temperature and heart rate were measured before and after each experiment. The experimental result showed that the low luminance display supported melatonin secretion and thermoregulation compared to the high luminance display. With regard to the white balance, higher melatonin level was observed when using the display that filtered blue light. The low luminance display together with yellowish tint best supported restful sleep at night in terms of every physiological response. This study collectively demonstrates that bright and blue light emitted from smartphone displays adversely affect melatonin secretion, body temperature, and heart rate, and therefore, suggests the use of a display with low luminance or a display that filters blue light for a restful sleep at night.
