Objetivo The project objective was to design, engineer and build a hardware device able to simulate, in real time, a broad range of flat-panel displays. These include electro-luminescent (EL), thin film EL, memory EL, active matrix liquid crystal (LC), ferroelectric LC and supertwisted LC. This device can be used by office automation and display manufacturers to test the properties of new technologies and to optimise the display parameters in order to obtain good image quality and maximum user acceptability. The simulator facility can also help display designers and users (office automation manufacturers, user organisations, etc) in the definition of new products and applications. Specific objectives were to: -compare various simulated display technologies and technical solutions according to user acceptability criteria -perform ergonomic experiments, under prolonged office work conditions, to find the relationships between technology-dependent display properties, visual discomfort and image quality.
