    "abstract": "The known facts, as reported in the literature, regarding the visual functions, so far as they are influenced by the brightness of the projection screen and its surroundings in the motion picture theater, are reported. The elements of major importance in the visibility of objects are (1) the angular size of the detail to be discriminated; (2) the contrast or degree of difference of brightness between an object and its background; (3) the intensity of illumination; and (4) the exposure time. When viewing a motion picture, the projection screen and its environment constitute the visual field, and the perception of detail in the projected picture is the visual task that the eye is called upon to perform. Since we are primarily concerned with perception, the most important of the visual functions are the perceptual ones, which are: (1) the least amount of light that the eye can perceive, or its threshold sensitivity; (2) its ability to distinguish differences in brightness, or contrast sensitivity; (3) the perception of form, or visual acuity; (4) and the speed of vision. Each of these functions is discussed, together with the effect upon them of the external factors with which they are correlated.",
