Abstract
Correct and reliable measurement requires not only the selection and use of appropriate measurement instrumentation, but also: (a) the use of approved or validated measurement procedures; (b) the use of traceable calibration reference artifacts or standards; and (c) the identification, correction, and/or allowance for potential measurement errors and uncertainties. This chapter will provide an overview of all of these considerations and highlight some fundamental issues that affect the key (generic) measurement approaches used when characterizing the optical properties of displays.
