Abstract
Contrast enhancement has been measured on three different VDUs with each of four different enhancement filters. The contrast enhancement filters are of different types — circular polarizing, mesh, neutral isotropically absorbing, and spectrally selective isotropic absorbing. For situations where the contrast reduction is caused by near-specular reflection of ambient light, the circular polarizing filter is considerably more effective than the others. For situations where the contrast reduction is caused by non-specular reflection of ambient light, the filters were all about equally effective. Thus, in an average situation where contrast of the unfiltered VDU image is reduced by both near-specular and non-specular reflections, it would be expected that the circular polarizer would enhance contrast to a noticeably greater extent than the other filters. Resolution was also measured through each of the filters which had been tested for contrast enhancement. The mesh filter noticeably degraded resolution, whereas the circular polarizer and the isotropically absorbing filters did not.
