Measuring color breakup of stationary images in field-sequential-color displays

Abstract

— Color breakup is an artifact perceivable on field-sequential-color (FSC) displays, both in stationary and in moving images. In this work, a unique device and a method for measuring color breakup on stationary images is proposed. Rotating the field of view of a high-speed measurement camera in milliseconds simulates saccadic behavior. The target can be a virtual display, a direct-view display or a projector image. Captured images can be used for quantifying the color breakup of a target display. The results along with an exploration of their application to breakup characterization will be presented.
