On August 24, Nippon Chemical Coatings and Aphrodite held the first seminar of the WEB seminar series titled "Trends in Cutting-Edge Display Measurement Technology and Development of Anti-Glare Coatings." This seminar, consisting of a total of three sessions, aims to explain the current state of display development and measurement methods for quality evaluation. The first session introduced methods for quantifying glare in displays. Approximately 70 participants, including material manufacturers, converters, and home appliance manufacturers, attended the event. In the first part, Shuichi Shima, president of Aphrodite, which specializes in the sale and technical support of display measurement equipment, took the stage. He discussed the principles behind "glare" in displays, evaluation methods, and the effectiveness of these evaluations. He prefaced the causes of glare by stating, "It occurs due to pixels of different brightness, resulting in visual differences," and explained the mechanism by saying, "As resolution increases, the pitch between RGB pixels has become finer, causing adjacent pixels (colors) to be picked up." In December 2019, the JIS standard for "Measuring the Degree of Glare in Displays" was established. He introduced the processes and evaluation methods for measuring glare. The second session will be held on October 20, focusing on the theme "Measurement Methods for Resolution and Sharpness (White Blurriness) of Latest Displays."

An article about the display glare evaluation system (SMS-1000) was published in the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun on August 27, 2020. Please refer to the attached article (PDF).

Kansai Converting Manufacturing Research Association Hosted 2nd Regular Research Meeting August 21, 2020, 13:30 - 15:50 Online Webinar Our CEO, Hidetaka Shima, will give a presentation. 15:20 - 15:50 ◎ Presentation (4): Quantification Method for Glare in Latest Displays Hidetaka Shima, CEO of Aphrodite Inc. Presentation Summary: With the evolution of high-resolution displays, glare (sparkle) has become a significant issue. To eliminate glare, technological development and quality control of display devices and materials are required, and quantitative evaluation of glare is essential. This presentation will introduce the mechanisms of glare generation in the latest displays and the latest measurement techniques for glare.

The glare evaluation system SMS-1000 was advertised in the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun on January 31. (Please see the related materials.) This easy-to-use and highly accurate glare evaluation system is currently being used by many users both domestically and internationally. In Japan, it was officially established as a JIS standard for quantitative measurement in December.
