Static Contrast
The standard procedure for contrast evaluation is as follows:
1 apply the first test pattern to the electrical interface of the display under test and wait until the optical response has settled to a stable steady state,
2 measure the luminance and/or the chromaticity of the first test pattern and record the result,
3 apply the second test pattern to the electrical interface of the display under test and wait until the optical response has settled to a stable steady state,
4 measure the luminance and/or the chromaticity of the second test pattern and record the result,
5 calculate the resulting static contrast for the two test patterns using one of the metrics listed above (CR,CM or K).
When luminance and/or chromaticity are measured before the optical response has settled to a stable steady state, some kind of transient contrast has been measured instead of the static contrast.

Famous quotes containing the word contrast:
“In contrast to the flux and muddle of life, art is clarity and enduring presence. In the stream of life, few things are perceived clearly because few things stay put. Every mood or emotion is mixed or diluted by contrary and extraneous elements. The clarity of art—the precise evocation of mood in the novel, or of summer twilight in a painting—is like waking to a bright landscape after a long fitful slumber, or the fragrance of chicken soup after a week of head cold.”
—Yi-Fu Tuan (b. 1930)
