The study of Relationship between Mental Work Load and Sleep Quality in Video Display Terminals Users

Background & objectives: One of the factors affecting the performance of video display terminal users is their mental work load. Since low sleep quality causes fault and decreased accuracy in work, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship between mental work load and sleep quality in video display terminals users. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 191 video d...

Work with video display terminals and the risk of reduced birthweight and preterm birth.

To determine whether the use of video display terminals (VDTs) is associated with an increased risk of reduced birthweight (RBW) and preterm birth, a cohort of telephone operators who used VDTs at work was compared to a cohort of non-VDT-users. Among 2,430 women interviewed, 713 eligible singleton live births were reported. Exposure was estimated from company records and a representative sample...

Eye care when using video display terminals.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the scientific data in the literature regarding eye problems and possible damage during the use of computer video display terminals. DATA SOURCES: Medline and non-Medline literature search and personal experience. STUDY SELECTION: Studies that provided evidence-based information about eye damage and eye care during the use of video display terminals were selected. DATA EXT...

Predicting Flicker Thresholds for Video Display Terminals

This paper describes an analytical method for predicting whether a video display terminal will appear to flicker given the screen phosphor persistence, refresh frequencies, and other environmental factors such as ambient light level, the distance between the viewer and the display, etc. From the method, one can predict the maximum screen luminance and the minimum refresh frequency that will gen...
