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.
