Industrial Displays — Design and Purchasing Considerations

Abstract

Man‐machine interfaces and screen images are integral factors in communicating information. Computer manufacturers, however, have long concentrated on improving the capacity of their computers at the expense of the display design. The features of computer screen images, including the colours used, the effect on the eyes and the clarity of the information layout are examined. Pixel and character‐based displays are assessed and subtractive video explained. The impact of the personal computer has created a demand for consultants in screen design.
