THIS YEAR'S DISPLAY WEEK OFFERED MUCH TO CAPTURE the interest of those concerned with display metrology, display standards, and image quality-three components that work together to provide the superior display experiences that end users expect from our industry. Metrology is the ground truth that undergirds the user's display experience. When used properly throughout the supply chain, good-quality display metrology provides the metrics that tell manufacturers, integrators, and consumers that components and devices can deliver as expected. It's also crucial to the manufacturer as a tool to ensure that processes deliver quality results at each manufacturing step. In turn, method- and performance-based standards give us confidence in the metrics that define quality. They teach the industry how to acquire meaningful measurement results and interpret them in a way that supports the desired user experience. Last of all, image quality assessment combines meaningful measurement results with analyses based on how people view the images delivered by displays. Display Week 2020's technical symposium and Exhibitor's Forum featured notable contributions to each area. In this recap, we focus first on metrology, with paper 50.4, "Standardizing Fundamental Criteria for Near-to-Eye Display Optical Measurements: Determining the Eyebox," by Rupal Varsh-neya and colleagues from the US Army's C5ISR Center's Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). (The directorate, located at Fort Belvoir in Virginia, is known as the "US Army's sensor developer.")
