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."

Beautiful displays are achievable! The German-made quantitative evaluation system 'SMS-1000' complies with JIS standards and is a glare measurement device for displays. Quantifying glare in displays. This German-made device is specifically designed for displays and is currently in high demand within the industry. There is no need to set conditions for each sample. It can be used for research and development and quality assurance of anti-glare displays. 【Features】 ■ Made by DM&S, Germany ■ Glare (Sparkle) evaluation ■ Reflection evaluation ■ Sharpness (DOI) evaluation *Please watch our YouTube video (link below).

Displays continue to evolve towards more beautiful and realistic images. Therefore, the evaluation of "image blur," which is a measure of display sharpness, will become an increasingly important parameter in the future. The SMS-1000, an industry de facto system for glare measurement, is also capable of evaluating and measuring sharpness. It is the ideal evaluation system for optical components for displays and for evaluating displays. We are also conducting online measurement demonstrations and explanations.
