Abstract

We developed a quantitative evaluation method for luminance and color uniformity on a display screen. In this paper, we report the analysis result of a viewer perception of luminance and color uniformity. In experiments, observers subjectively evaluated Mura images which were showed on the light emitting diode (LED) backlight screen by adjusting the luminance of each LED. We measured the luminance and color distributions of the Mura images by a 2D colorimeter, then, the measured data was converted into S-CIELAB. In S-CIELAB calculations, two dimensional MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) of human eye were used in which anisotropic properties of the spatial frequency response of human vision were considered. Some indexes for a quantitative evaluation model were extracted by the image processing. The significant indexes were determined by the multiple regression analysis to quantify the degree of uniformity of the backlight screen. The luminance uniformity evaluation model and color uniformity evaluation model were derived from this analysis independently. In addition, by integrating both of these models we derived a quantitative evaluation model for luminance and color unevenness simultaneously existing on the screen.
