It becomes even more readable
in bright ambient light, which is why Qualcomm has occasionally marketed Mirasol as a compelling option for e-readers.
The lower the better... This article shows how screen images degrade
in bright Ambient Light.
This article has screenshots that show how screen images degrade from reflections
in bright ambient light.
When these players are used
in bright ambient light the screen won't appear as dark because it reflects a certain percentage of the room light.
In addition there are continuing developments in color gamuts and color accuracy, higher resolutions and ppi, brighter and low reflectance displays for better screen visibility
in bright ambient light, and many continuing enhancements for both LCDs and OLEDs that we will discuss below.
When these phones are used
in bright ambient light the screen can't be made as dark because it reflects a certain percentage of the room light.
Not only does that use a lot less power but it improves screen viewability
in bright Ambient Lighting.
Mini Tablets fill an important need and will undoubtedly continue to grow in market share, so it's very important for manufacturers to understand how to optimize their smaller displays
in brighter ambient lighting environments to deliver both top picture quality and long battery running time.
But note that
in bright ambient lighting the Black Level is irrelevant because reflections off the screen dominate the screen background brightness.
The larger the Contrast Ratio the better, but it is only relevant for low ambient lighting because reflections off the screen dominate the display's Black Level
in bright ambient lighting.

The interior is offered
in a fresh,
bright color palette that emphasizes the open passenger environment — with signature - color Electrification blue
ambient lighting emanating from beneath metallic white decorative trim.
But as the
Ambient Lighting gets
brighter the
light reflected from the screens rises and begins washing out the display's native colors and image intensities, eventually dominating and then overwhelming the entire image on screen as seen
in the Screen Photograph sections below and
in the accompanying article on Smartphones.
The differences
in display brightness and reflectance between models results
in large differences
in their screen readability, visibility and picture quality, especially under
brighter ambient lighting.
With DisplayMate Contrast Ratings for High
Ambient Light of 47 or more the Apple and Samsung displays deliver the best screen visibility and picture quality
in bright environments as seen
in the Screen Photographs sections below and
in the accompanying article on Smartphones.
Contrast Rating
in Ambient Light: Even more impressive is that when Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy S5 hits an incredible 698 cd / m2
in high
Ambient Light, where high Brightness is really needed — it's the
brightest mobile display that we have ever tested.
For smart watches the display is the key and a major new challenge because they need to be very small, very thin, and have major power constraints to maintain a greater than 1 day battery running time, yet they must deliver
bright images
in very high
ambient light.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy Note 5 produces up to an impressive 861 cd / m2 (nits)
in High
Ambient Light, where high Brightness is really needed — it is the
brightest mobile display that we have ever tested.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy Note 5 reaches an impressive maximum screen Brightness of up to 861 nits
in high
Ambient Light, where high screen Brightness is really needed — it is the
Brightest mobile display that we have ever tested.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy S9 has a High Brightness Mode that produces up to a very impressive 1,130 cd / m2 (nits)
in High
Ambient Light, which is where high Brightness is really needed, up to 20 %
Brighter than the Galaxy S8.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy Note7 produces up to an impressive 1,048 cd / m2 (nits)
in High
Ambient Light, where high Brightness is really needed — it is the
brightest Smartphone display that we have ever tested.
However, just like their Smartphones, Nokia is emphasizing the display's performance
in high
ambient light with «Enhanced outdoor readability,» most likely indicating a very
bright and low reflectance screen.
The built -
in light illuminates the screen from the top down, so it feels like
ambient light rather than a
bright light shining back
in your face.
Customers now more then ever are demanding that they be able to read
in low -
light conditions, without needing
bright ambient light.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy S6 reaches an impressive maximum screen Brightness of 784 cd / m2 (nits)
in high
Ambient Light, where high screen Brightness is really needed — it is the
Brightest mobile display that we have ever tested.
The Galaxy S8 is 5 to 10 percent
Brighter than the Galaxy S7, and up to 19 %
Brighter in High
Ambient Light with Automatic Brightness.
• The wider Color Gamut and much
brighter display significantly improve screen readability and usability
in high
ambient light, which along with battery running is one of the most important issues for consumers.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy S7 produces up to an impressive 855 cd / m2 (nits)
in High
Ambient Light, where high Brightness is really needed — it is tied with the Galaxy Note 5 for the
brightest mobile display that we have ever tested.
· Another very noticeable and major improvement for the Galaxy Note8 is the display is 22 %
Brighter than the Galaxy S8, with a Peak Display Brightness of over 1,200 nits, a new Record for Smartphones, which provides significantly improved display performance and screen readability
in challenging indoor and outdoor high
ambient light viewing conditions.
When Automatic Brightness is turned On, the Galaxy S7 reaches an impressive maximum screen Brightness of up to 855 nits
in high
Ambient Light, where high screen Brightness is really needed — it is tied with the Galaxy Note 5 for the
Brightest mobile display that we have ever tested.
The screen is extremely, almost excessively shiny and we had significant problems with reflection if we tried turning the brightness down; turn off the power saving
ambient light sensor and you get a
bright and very colourful screen that's much easier to see (but that uses up rather more battery - a quarter of the battery life gone
in under 2 hours).
One more interesting point - it seems that the S4 has very low screen reflectance (
in fact DisplayMate says it's got one of the smallest values it ever tested)- and this means that the display performs great
in high
ambient lighting - even though it's not very
bright compared to the iPhone 5 display (the S4 is
brighter though than most LCD smartphones).
Even
in moderate
ambient lighting the contrast and colors can noticeably degrade from
ambient light reflected by the screen, especially objects like your face and any
bright lighting behind you.
DisplayMate says that the OLED display on the S3 is not as
bright as the LCD, it is less readable
in high
ambient lighting, it has saturated green and distorted and exaggerated colors.
I put a small piece of black tape on the camera and it didn't seem to affect the
ambient -
light sensor; the Spot still got
brighter and darker depending on the
light in the room.
This will significantly improve screen visibility under
bright ambient lighting and result
in longer battery running time.

As the E-Ink works by reflecting
ambient light, the display looks better
in bright sunlight, unlike LCD displays that are backlit and can become swamped
in the glare of
bright ambient light.
There is no glare, and the screen is even more readable
in sunlight than it is indoors; the
brighter the
ambient light, the better the display looks.
Front
lights on bikes are not super
bright like those on cars, and with the
ambient light in a city are not going to do much to
light the way for you; they are really a warning indicator for oncoming vehicles.
Ambient occlusion calculates which pixels
in an image would be blocked from view of the
light source by other geometric objects and determines how
bright they should be.
If you're
in a room with
bright, white
light, the screen will be
bright with a whiter tone; if you're
in a room with soft, yellow
light, the screen will be dimmer with a yellower tone to reduce the contrast between the screen and the
ambient light.
As is to be expected with AMOLED panels the colors were rich and vivid and the display is pretty easy to see
in direct sunlight, it can also get fairly
bright if you manage the brightness without the
ambient light sensor.
