Abstract
A luminance qualified vector display device provides a vector display that is gated by a specified luminance range. In one implementation three luminance gates may be used, one for luminance levels above a specified high luminance threshold, a second for luminance levels below a specified low luminance threshold, and a third for luminance levels between the specified high and low luminance thresholds. Also the luminance thresholds for the medium luminance range may be separately adjusted to overlap the high and low luminance ranges respectively. Each luminance qualified vector display may be displayed separately, may be overlaid for display using a different color for each luminance range, or may be displayed in different quadrants of a display device or window together with the normal, non-luminance qualified, vector display.
