The persistence and color of afterglow on CRT display due to moving textiles are studied by using a video digitizing system of a computer. The study has shown that:
(1) It is shown theoretically that the picture size (cm or°) is equal to v (t
a+t
z) +1, where v is the moving velocity of the specimen (cm s
1or°s
-1), t
a is the afterglow persistence (s), t
z is the digitizing time (s), and 1 is the length of the stationary specimen in the picture (cm or°) . Accordingly, the afterglow persistence is shown as α
a-α
z, where α
a is equal to (the picture size -1) v
1and α
zis equal to (no afterglow picture size -1) v
-1.
(2) The afterglow is rather easily observed, when the back ground is dark, with bright fibers than with dull fibers, with filament yarns than with spun yarns, with satin weave than with plain weave, and with bright colors than with dark colors. The afterglow persistence may amount to 0.02 seconds even under ordinary conditions.
(3) There are some conditions that the color of afterglow is different from that of the camera subject. The different color is almost red, because of the longer afterglow persistence of red elements than that of other colors.
