The forgoing experiment was designed to observe and measure users' perception of flicker, also referred to as Critical Fusion Frequency (CFF) at a variety of controlled ambient light levels in a setting that was designed to approximate a range of realistic user environments. The goal of the study was to determine the phosphor type and refresh rate required to eliminate flicker perception for the majority of our sample of forty-eight (48) participants.
