A study on the optimum curvature for the curved monitor

Curved displays have been actively developed beyond the limits of the conventional flat displays. The curved displays are known to be advantageous for immersion, preferences, and viewing convenience. As such, it is necessary to conduct ergonomic studies on the curvature of the curved display. In this study, experiments were conducted to determine the optimal curvature of the curved display for six kinds of contents. The results of the experiments showed that the optimal curvature is 560.9 mm at the standard viewing distance of 600 mm, which can be considered an evidence that there is an intriguing correlation between the viewing distance and the display curvature. It is expected that the results of this study would improve the existing display products and would provide ergonomic guidelines for the users.
