This study investigates whether screen luminance or ambient illumination has a significant effect on the perception of 3-D TV imagery for static images and dynamic films. Two types of stimuli were shown on a multi-view stereoscopic display: the static image, which included computer-generated and photographic images, and dynamic film, which contained real-life and animation images. In each treatment with a different level of screen luminance, subjects completed psychophysical and physiological measurements and subjective comfort evaluations. The results showed that when subjects viewed 3-D static images, the ambient illumination affected psychophysical visual fatigue and screen luminance had a significant effect on subjective comfort evaluation and visual discrimination performance. However, when subjects viewed 3-D dynamic films, screen luminance was the major factor causing psychophysical visual fatigue, and ambient illumination significantly affected subjective comfort evaluation. The outcomes contribute to knowledge concerning the suitable viewing conditions for the 3-D viewing experience. Future work will explore the intolerance threshold of the lowest display luminance or the effect of decomposition of the screen on other physiological measurements.
