26.1: Invited Paper: Visual Artifacts Generated in Frame‐Sequential Display Devices: An Overview

Many display devices including color PDPs, DMDs, ferroelectric LCDs, and ELs express gray levels by accumulating pictures of multiple sub-frames with the aid of retinal after-image effect. Additionally, some of these devices use frame-sequential color-multiplexed backlights. When the observer's eye sweeps across the screen, unexpected visual artifacts, e.g. false contours and color breakup may be produced. These artifacts will be quantified, and methods of reducing them will be introduced.
