A Review of the Literature on the Legibility of Alphanumerics on Electronic Displays.

Abstract

This report reviews the available literature on the legibility of alphanumeric characters on electronic displays. The purpose was to identify the important parameters involved in legibility and to provide a summary of previous research findings in this area. Effort was made to determine the acceptability of principles derived from conventional media for applications with electronic displays. Also, new questions and problems created by electronic display technology are discussed. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations made where sufficient data are available, and further questions and problems are posed for future research.
