What is stereo contrast and how is it measured?
Contrast ratio of a standard 2D display is the white luminance (brightness) divided by the black luminance. The stereo contrast is the contrast ratio for the left image as seen with the left eye or the right image as seen with the right eye. The stereo contrast for the left eye is measured when the right screen is showing white. The stereo contrast for the right eye is measured when the left screen is white. The stereo contrast specified is the minimal contrast ratio seen from either eye in the center of the screen at a comfortable viewing position.
