[Radiance-general] displays

[Chris Foster]

hi all

anyone who feels the need can answer this question but i think greg might know the answer after readin one of his previous emails. 

greg, you including an email with a file for a LCD display on an email to yuni previously, with a hack in it to give the glowing screen some reflectance...helps but i need some more , please!!

i want to shine light onto an ON display and measure the combined light reflecting off of it. this has to include the reflected light and the transmitted light of the display itself. how do i achieve this?

im comfortable with using rcalc|rtrace|rcalc and bgraph so i dont need any help there. i require some assistance with the materials for the display. i currently have the material LIGHT emitting from one side of the display, would it be wise to put in GLASS in front of this light? can i model this glass so that it transmittes the light coming from behind it (from the display) and at the same time reflects the light incident on it from the front, from the spotlights.

hope that was easy enough to follow. i feel brtd func would be more appropiate than glass but would appreciate any one's thoughts. 

thanks in advance

chris
