Operator Performance on Flat-Panel Displays with Line and Cell Failures.

Abstract

This technical report describes the results of an experiment to determine the influence of individual line and cell failures on readability of flat-panel displays. A 1024 x 1024 pixel plasma display was used to present reading passages. Selected percentages of dots or cells were failed (either on or off) randomly within the passage. Reading time for these passages was measured and related to the type of failure, percent failure, character font, and case of the characters (upper and mixed). The results clearly indicate that all these variables have an effect upon readability of the display, but that interactions among the variables are complex and important. Design criteria for displays which are subject to such failures are offered, as are quality assurance criteria. (Author)
