17221721 Determining contrast and brightness of display</h3>

1724- This text is non-normative. There currently is no agreed upon standardization of
1725- <dfn export>high contrast ratio</dfn> , <dfn export>low contrast ratio</dfn> ,
1726- max brightness or low brightness as it relates to displays. As such, the
1727- determination for '@media/dynamic-range' and '@media/video-dynamic-range' will
1728- be defined by the user agent.
1723+ <dfn export>Peak brightness</dfn> refers to how bright the brightest point
1724+ a light-emitting device such as an LCD screen can produce,
1725+ or in the case of a light reflective device such as paper or e-ink,
1726+ the point at which it least absorbs light.
1727+
1728+ Note: Some devices can only produce their [=peak brightness=]
1729+ for brief periods of time or on a small portion of their surface at any given time.
1730+
1731+ The <dfn export>contrast ratio</dfn> is the ratio of the luminance
1732+ of the brightest color to that of the darkest color
1733+ that the system is capable of producing.
1734+
1735+ This specification does not define precise ways
1736+ by which these qualities can be measured;
1737+ it also lets the User Agent determine
1738+ what counts as a <dfn for="contrast ratio" lt="high contrast ratio">high</dfn> [=contrast ratio=]
1739+ and as a <dfn for="peak brightness" lt="high peak brightness">high</dfn> [=peak brightness=] .
1740+ User Agents must nonetheless attempt to conform to the following intent:
1741+ a device capable of [=high peak brightness=]
1742+ can display “brighter than white” highlights,
1743+ and a simultaneous ability to do so
1744+ while also presenting deep blacks
1745+ (rather than an overall bright but washed out image)
1746+ is indicative of a [=high contrast ratio=] .
1747+
1748+ Note: The determination for '@media/dynamic-range' and '@media/video-dynamic-range'
1749+ will be vary depending on the User Agent,
1750+ but is expected to have broadly dependable semantics.
