초록

목적: 명소시 상태에서 휘도의 감소에 따른 대비감도 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 방법: FACT 시표를 이용하여 명소시 5단계의 휘도 하에서 63명의 대학생에 대한 대비감도를 조사하였다. 결과: 측정된 대비감도는 모두 정상범위 내에 있었다. $40~10cd/m^2$에서 대비감도의 정점이 6 cpd에서 3 cpd로 이동하는 것으로 관측되었고, 6 cpd와 3 cpd에 대한 가상적인 두 대비감도 직선들의 교점으로부터 정점은 약 $25cd/m^2$일때 6 cpd에서 3 cpd로 이동하는 것으로 평가되었다. 휘도가 $120cd/m^2$에서 $10cd/m^2$으로 감소하는 동안, 6 cpd에서 대비감도 손실이 가장 컸지만, 1.5 cpd에서의 대비감도는 큰 변화가 없었다. 근사적으로 평가된 $25cd/m^2$ 이상의 휘도에서 대비감도는 18<12<1.5<3<6 cpd의 순으로 높았지만, $25cd/m^2$이하의 휘도에서는 18<12<1.5<6<3 cpd의 순으로 높았다. 휘도의 감소에 따른 대비감도의 손실을 대비감도 감소량 및 감소율로도 평가하였다. 대비감도 감소량은 6 cpd에서 가장 컸지만, 감소율은 18 cpd에서 가장 컸다. 결론: 본 연구에서 활용된 평가법이 대비감도 변화를 평가하는 또 다른 방법으로 활용될 수 있음을 제안한다.

Purpose: To investigate changes of contrast sensitivity with decreasing luminance in photopic conditions. Methods: Contrast sensitivities for 63 university students were investigated at 5 different luminance levels using FACT chart. Results: All contrast sensitivities measured were in the normal range. The peak of contrast sensitivity function was observed to move from 6 to 3 cpd between 40 and $10cd/m^2$. From an intersection point of two hypothetical lines related with contrast sensitivity for 6 and 3 cpd, we could evaluated that the peak moved from 6 to 3 cpd at about $25cd/m^2$. When luminance decreases from 120 to $10cd/m^2$, contrast sensitivity loss at 6 cpd was most, while contrast sensitivity at 1.5 cpd changed little. We could evaluate that at luminance of more than $25cd/m^2$ evaluated approximately, contrast sensitivity was high in the following order of spatial frequency: 18< 12<1.5<3<6 cpd, while at luminance of less than about $25cd/m^2$ as follows: 18<12<1.5<6<3 cpd. Contrast sensitivity losses with decreasing luminance were also evaluated using the decrements and decrement rates of contrast sensitivity. The decrement of contrast sensitivity was the greatest at 6 cpd, while the decrement rate was the greatest at 8 cpd. Conclusions: We propose that evaluation methods used in this research may be available as another methods to evaluate the changes of contrast sensitivity.
