Preference survey of curvature of large-size displays

Abstract

This study investigated the aesthetic judgment of large-size curved displays and found out the most preferred radius of them. For the survey, 1:1 scale curved display mock-ups were presented to subjects, and the displays were made of acrylic frame with various sizes and curvatures. The subjects were asked to assess their preference for the displays in both aesthetic appeal and visual comfort at a distance of 2.5m. The survey results showed that the most preferred radius of curvature varies depending on the display size, and it increases as the display size becomes larger. For 55-in. displays, the most preferred radius of curvature was found as 2000mm across the contents attached on the displays. With regard to the 65- and 75-in. displays, the subjects' preference was increased to 3000mm that lightly varied depending on the presented contents.
