Keywords:transparent display, augmented reality, visual discomfort, binocular rivalry

In mixed reality applications of flat panel transparent displays, binocular rivalry is the main reason causing visual discomfort. A series of psycho-visual experiments were conducted to scale the visual discomfort of a transparent LCD in different viewing conditions and a masking method is introduced to reduce the unpleasant ghosting effect.
