•   Investigate the effect of microstructure, optical properties, and other
    coating properties on scratch behavior and visibility.

•   Develop real-time optical scattering measurement in combination of
    surface morphologic, mechanical and chemical measurements.

•   Expend comparison between optical scattering metrology and other
    existing optical measurements for scratch appearance (gloss, color,
    haze, …)
        Find a better way to evaluate the scratch resistance
        Provide a better measurement protocol

We will perform vision experiments to examine:

 Color discrimination
                                                     Tunable light source
 Color fidelity
                                       Measurement
 Overall color quality                    Data
