[Radiance-general] displays

[Chris Foster]

Hello All,

I have used genbox to create a....box (obviously) and now want to change one side of it to act as the front of a display.(Im not interested in the detail of the display case, a simple box will do)
I know how to replace one of the polygons with a different material type but what does anyone recommend to use? I dont require the display to show any pictures, i just want it to have a uniform white light emitting from one side of 400 nits. Should i use an illum surface? How can i ensure it has the brightness i require??

Your reply email (below) and attachments to yuni has helped me some greg, i can now add pictures if i so wish, but not sure if it helps me with my above questions

my box is below, although im sure i havent needed to put it in.

thanks in advance 

chris

Hi Yuni,

Here is a description for an HP LCD monitor we measured at LBNL for  
the New York Times (work sponsored by NYSERDA).  You can substitute  
any 1024x768 screen shot you like for "VDTdisp.pic".  Make sure the  
maximum value is <= 1.0.

As for glare analysis, I don't know how you mean to associate  
discomfort glare with a VDT.  Perhaps you are thinking of veiling  
glare -- reflections from the screen that reduce visibility?
