Are New Image Quality Figures of Merit Needed for Flat Panel Displays

摘要

Image quality figures of merit (FOMs) are explained. The example of spatial resolution FOMs are used to illustrate the theoretical issues in the development and use of FOMs. FOMs for cathode ray tube (CRT)and flat panel display (FPD) technologies are compared. It was concluded that new FOMs need to be developed for FPDs, particularly for characterizing aspects of dynamic imagery.
