7.3: Motion Artifacts

Motion artifacts for LCDs are an important performance quality determinant, one of the final major frontiers for LCDs. Motion issues addressed to date have often been limited to response time, a small portion of the vast scope of motion artifacts. This work defines a number of artifact categories and a method to generate and analyze them. A program, MAT, was developed to translate what the eye sees as motion artifacts to a set of controlled variables which help evoke worst case conditions, often not analyzable with conventional display test equipment. The program allows for characterizing the artifacts as the eye sees them and can produce some motion anomalies perhaps not yet considered as problems to be solved.
