Characterization of crosstalk in high-resolution active-matrix liquid crystal displays for medical imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
In active-matrix liquid crystal displays with large pixel array and large number of graylevels, the luminance of a pixel depends on the luminance of the rest of the image. This artifact known as crosstalk is caused by parasitic phenomena in the active-matrix array. When interpreting high information content medical images with subtle features and structured background, crosstalk can a ect image delity and diagnostic performance. Conventional methods rely on the measurement of the luminance change of small square targets located across the screen when changing the background intensity. We present a method that describes both the magnitude and the spatial extent of the crosstalk artifact. The method is based on the formulation of a response function that corresponds to the di erential contribution of a vertical or horizontal line to the luminance of a small centered target. The response function is de ned for a given screen position, along the horizontal or vertical display axis. Our measurements show that subtle di erences between vertical and horizontal crosstalk can be detected with the proposed method, and that most of the in uence is con ned to a 40-pixel region about the target. The results obtained with the proposed characterization method allow for the modeling of crosstalk e ects to determine its impact on a variety of visual tasks. Keyword List: small-spot contrast, electronic crosstalk, medical display, active-matrix liquid crystal display.

Research for Low Dynamic Crosstalk of Scanning Liquid Crystal Prism Type 3D Display
The scanning liquid crystal (LC) prism type 3D displays may solve the resolution degradation problem but introduce another issue, dynamic crosstalk. To improve the 3D perception, a novel impulsive driving backlight method with multi-electrode driving structure scanning LC prism is proposed. With this method, the dynamic crosstalk can be reduced by 35.2%.

Display systems are key components of the digital radiology department. Current display systems for medical imaging are based on cathode-ray tubes (CRTs) or active-matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs). The CRT is a cathodoluminescent display: Light is generated by exciting a luminescent material with energetic electrons. AMLCDs are light-modulating devices that form the image in the screen b...
متن کاملCrosstalk in stereoscopic displays: a review
Crosstalk, also known as ghosting or leakage, is a primary factor in determining the image quality of stereoscopic three dimensional (3D) displays. In a stereoscopic display, a separate perspective view is presented to each of the observer’s two eyes in order to experience a 3D image with depth sensation. When crosstalk is present in a stereoscopic display, each eye will see a combination of th...

The dynamic response of amorphous In-Ga-ZnO (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are compared with hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) TFTs. We study the storage capacitor (Cst) charging characteristics by applying gate and data voltage waveforms for ultra-high definition (UHD) active-matrix flat-panel displays (AMFPDs). Experimental data show that the charging characteristics of a-Si:H TF...
