The use of text email with short message service (SMS) is spreading. In this study, we evaluated the legibility of characters on the liquid crystal displays of mobile phones. When characters are small, younger people assure readability by shortening the viewing distance. However, elderly people find it far more difficult to see small characters. Moreover, legibility deteriorates as the contrast of display becomes lower.}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM)}, author={Hasegawa, Satoshi and Miyao, Masaru and Matsunuma, Shohei and Fujikake, Kazuhiro and Omori, Masako}, year={2008}, month={Sep.}, pages={pp. 7–12} }
