Determining contrast and brightness of display</h3>

- 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.
