description Melanopsin contribution to visual and non-visual effect has drawn widespread concern. However, research about whether this contribution can be applied to display system design is limited. Here, a four-primary display system was designed and constructed based on three projectors with filters to realize isolation control of melanopsin and cones, and a 65-inch uniform display area was achieved. The melanopic luminance metamers (higher and lower) of different colours have been modulated thusly. The effect of melanopic luminance on pupillary light reflex (PLR) and brightness perception was explored under a luminous environment of 300 lx to ensure the saturation of rod. The results showed that the higher melanopic luminance level contributed to delayed contraction maintenance. Moreover, a log relationship was found between melanopic equivalent daylight luminance and pupillary contraction maintenance parameters with coefficient of determination more than 0.85. Furthermore, stimuli of higher melanopic luminance level appeared brighter, indicating that melanopsin contributed to brightness perception.
