Bright defect :
defects that occur when the image is rather bright than accurate.
Brightness(Reference : luminance) :

Notice) Do not get confused luminance with brightness because those two are not the same. Brightness is
subjective while luminance is objective.

Color coordinates, CIE 1931 :
Color image expressing method in color dimension, originated from CIE standard of 1931, expressed by X,
Y and Z. Among those three, Y element corresponds to luminous flux that is expressed as lumen while X
and Y are values that express red and purple element of luminous flux. Colors of matter are expressed as
color coordinates pair (x, y). Here x=X/(X+Y+Z), y=Y/(X+Y+Z).
Method for colors, known as (u, v), where image colors are expressed in more even color dimension.
Colors of matter are expressed as color coordinates pair (u, v). Here, u=4X/(X+15Y+3Z),
y=6Y/(X+15Y+3Z).

Color coordinates, CIE 1960 :
Method for colors, known as (u, v), where image colors are expressed in more even color dimension. colors
of matter are expressed as color coordinates pair(u, v). Here, u=4X(X+15Y+32), y=6Y/(X+15Y+32Z).

Concurrent driving method :
Driving method to disperse address pulse and scan pulse at equal distance.
Contrast ratio Columm electrode :
Ratio of white luminance to black luminance of image. This measurement has many parameters, so measurers are required to explain the consideration for measurement to make understood the meaning of the
measurement. The parameters of contrast ratio are as follows.
■ CA - ratio of center luminance in all white screen to center luminance of all black screen on the condition of light being spreading around.
■ CG - ratio of white luminance to black luminance in successive arrangement of white and black
lines at equal distance.
■ CL - ratio of white luminance to black luminance in white line against black screen of black line
