This work evaluated the recently-published ISO 9241-7 “Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs) - Part 7: Requirements for display with reflections” technical standard in terms of perceived image quality judgments for CRT displays. The effects of five illumination conditions and two screen contrast polarities on image quality were assessed for seven CRT/anti-reflection filter configurations. Participants judged the image quality of the displays after reading text passages on the screen. Image quality judgments then were compared to ISO 9241-7 compliance classifications, as well as to two metrics inherent to the standard: screen image luminance ratio and specular reflection luminance ratio. The findings of this work (along with Kempic, Olacsi, and Beaton, 1998) contribute to a human factors justification of ISO 9241-7 and point up several shortcomings in this international standard. In particular, the findings indicate that specular reflections from CRTs degrade image quality more than do diffuse reflections, and, therefore, the importance of specular reflections is understated in the ISO 9241-7 standard.

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.
