 What is Visual Display?
 Visual display refers to the design and layout of visual information on
computer screens, displays, and other electronic devices.
 It involves the arrangement of text, images, and other visual elements to
optimize legibility, clarity, and ease of use for the user.
 This includes factors such as font size, color contrast, screen brightness,
and viewing distance, which can affect visual comfort, efficiency, and
accuracy of work.
 Effective visual display design is important for reducing eye strain,
fatigue, and errors in visual tasks, and promoting productivity and user
SLIDESMANIA

satisfaction.
 Importance of Ergonomics in
Visual Display:
I. To ensure that the use of electronic devices or screens is
comfortable, safe, and healthy for people.
II. Poor ergonomics in visual display can lead to a variety of health
problems, such as musculoskeletal disorders, eye strain and
fatigue, and headaches and migraines.
III. On the other hand, good ergonomics in visual display can
provide several benefits, including improved comfort and
productivity, reduced risk of injuries and illnesses, enhanced
SLIDESMANIA

visual performance, and increased job satisfaction and

employee retention.
 Objectives:
 To provide an understanding of ergonomics and its
importance in visual display.
 To know the principles of ergonomics in visual
display
 To learn the different types of visual display
 To know the health risk associated with poor
ergonomics in Visual display
 To know the benefits of Ergonomics in Visual
display .

 Types of
VISUAL
DISPLAY
SLIDESMANIA
 There are several
types of Visual
Displays,
including:
SLIDESMANIA
 Monitors:
These are electronic displays that are
commonly used for desktop or laptop
computers, gaming systems, and
television screens.
SLIDESMANIA
 Projectors:
These are devices that display images or
videos onto a screen or wall using a
bright light and a lens system. They are
commonly used for presentations,
movies, and gaming.
SLIDESMANIA
 Tablets:
These are portable devices with built-in
screens that are used for browsing the
internet, reading books, playing games,
and other multimedia activities.
SLIDESMANIA
 Smartphones:
These are mobile phones that have a
built-in screen for displaying information,
making calls, sending messages, and
other multimedia activities.

 PRINCIPLES OF
ERGONOMICS IN VISUAL
DISPLAY
SLIDESMANIA
 The principles of Ergonomics in Visual Display include:

 Proper Viewing Distance: The distance between the eyes and the
screen should be approximately an arm’s length (about 20-40
inches) to reduce eye strain and fatigue.

 Appropriate Viewing Angle: The screen should be positioned so

that the center of the screen is at eye level or slightly below to
reduce neck and shoulder strain.

 Optimal Display Height: The screen should be positioned so that

the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level to reduce neck
SLIDESMANIA

and shoulder strain.

 The principles of Ergonomics in Visual Display include:

 Adequate Lighting Conditions: The ambient lighting conditions

should be bright enough to see the screen comfortably, but not too
bright to cause glare or eye strain. The screen brightness and
contrast should also be adjusted to provide optimal visibility.

 Contrast and Brightness Settings: The contrast and brightness

settings of the screen should be adjusted to provide optimal
visibility without causing eye strain or fatigue. High contrast and
brightness levels can cause eye strain, while low contrast and
brightness levels can cause visual discomfort.

 POOR ERGONOMICS IN
VISUAL DISPLAY
SLIDESMANIA
 Poor Ergonomics in Visual Display can include:

 Slouching or Hunching: Sitting in a slouched or hunched position

can cause neck and shoulder strain, leading to discomfort and pain.

 Using Small or Low-Resolution Screens: Using small or low-

resolution screens can cause eye strain and fatigue, leading to
headaches and migraines.

 Working in Dim or Glare-Prone Areas: Working in dimly lit or

glare-prone areas can cause eye strain and fatigue, leading to
headaches and migraines.
SLIDESMANIA
 Poor Ergonomics in Visual Display can include:

 Using Inappropriate Viewing Angles: Using inappropriate

viewing angles, such as looking up or down at the screen, can
cause neck and shoulder strain, leading to discomfort and pain.

 Using Poorly Positioned Displays: Using displays that are too

high or too low can cause neck and shoulder strain, leading to
discomfort and pain.

 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, visual display has highlighted the importance of ergonomics in ensuring that the use of
electronic devices or screens is comfortable, safe, and healthy for individuals. Poor ergonomics in visual
display can lead to various health problems, such as musculoskeletal disorders, eye strain and fatigue, and
headaches and migraines. On the other hand, good ergonomics in visual display can provide several
benefits, including improved comfort and productivity, reduced risk of injuries and illnesses, enhanced
visual performance, and increased job satisfaction and employee retention. It encouraged individuals to
practice good ergonomics in visual display to improve their overall health and well-being. By following
these principles and best practices, individuals can reduce the risk of experiencing discomfort or pain
while using electronic devices and ensure that they are using them safely and comfortably for extended
periods. Overall, the presentation on visual display has provided valuable insights and recommendations
on how to achieve optimal ergonomics while using electronic devices or screens.
