Discomfort Glare Model for Mobile Display

This study proposed a new glare model for mobile display according to contents in low illumination condition. The proposed glare model is considered by stimulus size, contrast ratio, stimulus position, averaging luminance, viewing angle, and the number of stimuli. For the model, two-step subjective experiment was conducted. Based on the results, the glare model was composed by two components depending on contents; perceptual contrast and area ratio between stimulus and background. The model can be applied to a glare suppression algorithm to improve visibility and comfort from mobile display in a dark environment.
