31、ies 3.1 Glare and unwanted reflections At various places in the ISO 9241-3xx series, we specifically adopt the CIE definition of glare, which includes both discomfort glare and disability glare. We note that the CIE defines discomfort glare verbally as: “glare which causes discomfort without necessa

32、rily impairing the vision of objects”, 11 and disability glare as “glare that impairs vision”. 13 Glare is commonly classed as direct glare, in which the eye is directly illuminated by some object, such as a display, a luminaire or the sun, and indirect glare, in which the eye is illuminated by ligh

33、t reflected from a surface such as that of a display screen. 3.2 Direct glare in the context of the ISO 9241-3xx standards series ISO 9241-6 discusses two types of glare in the context of office working environments. Direct glare is described thusly: “Direct glare from daylight can typically be caus

34、ed by a direct view of the sun or clouds and by their reflections on adjacent buildings.”, 2 and “Direct glare from artificial lighting can be caused by luminaires or illuminated room surfaces with high luminance”. Clearly, direct glare is seen to be associated with reflections as well as luminance

35、sources directly in the users line of sight. In general, room lighting as a source of direct glare has been studied extensively and appropriate designs are well specified. However it is important to note that the recent introduction of new technologies such as luminaires composed of Light Emitting D

36、iodes (LED) has stimulated reconsideration of both the concept of comfortable lighting, 14and questions about the applicability of existing standards to environments illuminated by LEDs. 1415Although we will not discuss direct glare in detail in this paper, the specification of limits for the ambien

37、t illuminance for office computer workplaces in standards such as EN 12464-1 overlaps with the discussion of unwanted reflections from the inactive and active areas of displays that are visible during use. Moreover, there is at least one specification within the ISO 9241-3xx series that deals specif

38、ically with the issue of direct glare as defined and discussed by CIE and ISO 9241-6:1999, 3.9, 5.4, Clause 10 and Annex A.2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedPD ISO/TR 20278:2015ISO/TR 20278:2015(E) ISO 9241-303:2011, D.5 states a requirement regarding the upper limit for LH, display screen luminance: “G

39、lare (disability glare or discomfort glare) shall not be produced by the display”. Clearly this refers to a limit on direct glare resulting from an excessively high luminance of a self-luminous object (the display) located in the visual field, especially near the line of sight, exactly satisfying th

40、e definition of direct glare. 3.3 Glare by reflection The second type of glare discussed in ISO 9241-6 is glare by reflection: “Glare by reflection can occur in vertical, horizontal and intermediate planes. It can impair visual perception and/or cause discomfort. Disturbing glare caused by reflectio

41、n on working surfaces and work equipment (for example, visual displays, printed documents, keyboards) should be prevented by suitable design and positioning of the work equipment and the lighting.” The majority of the discussion on glare within the context of the ISO 9241-3xx series pertains to indi

42、rect glare resulting from reflections from display surfaces. The context of use for the great majority of the current standards content in the ISO 9241-3xx series is in regard to displays in the office computer workplace, however, this may be expanded in the future to include the home and other envi

43、ronments. It will be critical to maintain distinctions between specifications developed for different environments or contexts of use. It is also important to determine what is meant by the term “disturbing glare”, as this term is not defined by the CIE and does not appear to be used outside of Euro

44、pe. 4 Visual discomfort and glare while using computer displays 4.1 Asthenopia Visual discomfort while viewing displays is commonly referred to as computer vision syndrome or asthenopia while viewing computer displays. Asthenopia complaints from computer users are common, with estimates of current s

45、ymptom prevalence ranging as high as 90 % of all computer users. 16It is an issue well known and documented since the introduction of personal computers. 17 Sheedy, et al. list potential causes for asthenopia: 18 “Direct glare from lighting, anomalies of binocular vision, accommodative dysfunction,

46、uncorrected refractive error, compromised quality of the viewed image, less than optimal viewing angles, flickering visual stimuli such as CRT computer displays, and dry eye”. Sheedy further classifies asthenopic symptoms into two groups, internal and external, based on a principle components analys

47、is of the responses made by subjects during a study of asthenopia. The external symptom factor included eye symptoms such as burning, irritation, and dryness. These symptoms were associated with inducing conditions such as glare, upward gaze angle, flicker, font size, and reduced blink rate. The int

48、ernal symptom factor included symptoms such as eyestrain, headache and eye ache, they were associated with inducing conditions such as astigmatism and close viewing distance. Consequently, while glare is an important causal factor for asthenopia occurring in the office computer workplace, it is impo

49、rtant to note that it is one of many causal factors. 5 Unwanted reflections from displays 5.1 General The question currently before ISO TC 159/SC4 technical committee is that of glare from the inactive areas of the display, such as housings, that are visible during use. It has been proposed that a limit should be set on the reflectivity (specular gloss) of equipment housings visible during use. In order ISO 2015 All rights reserved 3PD ISO/TR 20278:2015ISO/TR 20278:2015(E) to more fully understand the issue of glare, thi
