Reproduction of the spatial brightness on a high-luminance large screen display

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify whether the spatial brightness of the real space can be reproduced using the high-luminance large screen display. Firstly, we conducted the subjective experiment in the real space. Next, the linear scaling images to present on the high-luminance large screen display were made from luminance and chromaticity data measured in the real space. The maximum value presentable by the display was 1,200cd/m2, therefore, luminance above 1,200cd/m2 were blown out. Then, the subjective experiment was conducted using those images displayed on the large screen display. The spatial brightness was memorized and answered by adjusting the luminance inside the reference space, called “adjustment box”, so that the brightness in the box became the same as the one in the real space. From comparing the logarithmic values of the brightness evaluation of the real space and the one of the linear scaling images on the display, we found that the spatial brightness evaluation on the display roughly matched to the one of the real space. It was also suggested that there is a possibility that the effects of windows on the spatial brightness evaluation may be different between the real space and the two-dimensional display.
