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:
“Armies, for the most part, are made up of men drawn from simple and peaceful lives. In time of war they suddenly find themselves living under conditions of violence, requiring new rules of conduct that are in direct contrast to the conditions they lived under as civilians. They learn to accept this to perform their duties as fighting men.”
—Gil Doud, U.S. screenwriter, and Jesse Hibbs. Walter Bedell Smith (Himself)
