16.1: Invited Paper: Measurement of Perceived Pixel Luminance of Large LED Displays.

Large screen LED displays are becoming increasingly popular. The human eye has a resolution of 1/60 degree, so at very close viewing the LED chips may be more easily seen because LED screens have a larger pixel pitch than traditional display technologies, unlike OLEDs and LCDs. In large LED displays, the perceived luminance of the pixels is highly dependent on the viewing distance and FOV. The paper examines the perceived pixel luminance of a large screen LED display at different viewing distances and field of views. Additionally, stray light was examined and discussed. The results indicated that the perceived pixel luminance can be significantly different under different viewing distances and FOVs. For future LED display performance evaluation, it would be advantageous to have a measuring device with high resolution that mimics the human eye's angular resolution in perceived pixel luminance.
