Effect of VDT Leading Display Design of Dynamic Information on Users' Visual Performance and Visual Fatigue

Investigating Data Entry Task Performance on a Laptop Under the Impact of Vibration: The Effect of Color

“…That finding is supported by Wang et al's study [20] who reported that subjects' searching performance on a leading display improved when the color difference of text/background became large. Also Shieh and Lin [19] indicated that visual identification performance and subjective preferences increased as the luminance contrast of text/background color became greater.…”

“…Shieh and Lin [19] indicated that visual preference increased as the luminance contrast of text/background color combinations became greater. Similarly, Wang, Chen and Chen [20] reported that subjects' searching performance on a "leading display" improved when the color difference of text/background became larger. (Leading display is a conventional Internet homepage design method for presenting dynamic information on visual display terminals).…”

Assessment of Human Color Discrimination Based on Illuminant Color, Ambient Illumination and Screen Background Color for Visual Display Terminal Workers

“…5, the comparison of the errors in four groups of different background colors showed that there were fewer errors for the black background than for the brown background and that the errors in the blue background occurred the most often. The recommendation of background color on the screen was to adopt target/background color combinations with higher color differences, a finding that was consistent with that of previous studies 28) . The reason for this finding could be that the luminance of the background color affected the color discrimination performance.…”

A study of operators’ computing efficiency with special focus on the readability under different viewing angles of a desktop

“…Shieh and Chen (1997) reported that subjects' viewing distance was significantly affected by color combination. Similarly, Wang et al (2002) also reported that subjects' searching performance on leading display was improving when the color difference of text/ background becomes larger. Wang and Chen (2003) reported recently that the interaction between jump length and color combination of leading display had a significant effect on subjects' reading performance.…”

“…Research findings are mixed, but still text/background color combination is an important consideration in VDT design. Some studies have claimed that there is no effect of text/background color combination on readability performance while others reported improvement in the performance with dark characters on a light background (Wang et al 2002;Taptagaporn and Saito 1990;Snyderet al 1990). Shieh and Lin (2000), indicated that visual preference increased with increase in luminance contrast in color combination of text or background.…”
