[Radiance-general] Modeling a flat-screen monitor

[Greg Ward]

Hi Nathaniel,

You should check out Niloofar Moghbel's Ph.D. dissertation at:

	http://d-nb.info/1025887379/34

It has a whole section on VDT modeling that may be useful.  A summary of her work may be found in her workshop presentations at:

and:

Cheers,
-Greg

> I'm trying to model a computer screen for glare analysis in Radiance.  I have measured luminance values for the monitor showing white and black screens in a dark room, as well as spectrophotometer reflectance data on the screen while off.  Currently, I'm modeling it using a generic glass material in front of a glow material, but this creates a lot of specular reflection in rpict renderings that doesn't match up with observations.  Does anyone have suggestions for creating more accurate Radiance materials to model the monitor?
