Television, computers, and telecommunications are merging into advanced digital video and computer systems that will provide new services for education, engineering, manufacturing, robotics, entertainment, medicine, defense, security, transportation, publishing, advertising, banking, and government. A critical element in this convergence is that electronic displays are becoming ubiquitous. Although displays are manufactured primarily offshore, U.S. manufacturers are the largest consumer of displays. To facilitate worldwide commerce in displays, a well-defined method for specification and verification of display quality is needed to ensure that the display will work under the necessary lighting conditions. NIST is working with industry standards-developing organizations to ensure such equity in the marketplace by developing the metrology base for displays.

More on Flat Panel Display Metrology is available from the Flat Panel Display Laboratory Web site.
