  • Publication number: 20250251284
    Abstract: A method for evaluating an interference color having Step 1 to Step 3 described below, and evaluating an interference color by one kind of variance or a combination of two or more kinds of variance that are calculated by Step 4 described below. Step 1: Display a surface light source including a polarizer in white, and emit linearly polarized white light L1 from the surface light source. Step 2: Measure in-plane distribution of tristimulus values with respect to L1. Define the tristimulus values of L1 measured in the present step as tristimulus values 1. Step 3: Display the surface light source in white in a state where an optical film is installed on the surface light source. Subsequently, measure in-plane distribution of tristimulus values with respect to light L2 that is LI transmitted through the optical film. Define the tristimulus values of L2 measured in the present step as tristimulus values 2.
