碩士 === 東海大學 === 工業工程學系 === 91 === This study investigated the effects of small screen icon allocation on the light pen clicking performance. This study collected the experiment data from 47 students in Tunghai University. The experiments of interfaces on PDA were established by embedded visual basic program. Analysis of experiment data showed that character-types, clicking sequences and positions, background colors, and sizes had significant effects on clicking performance of icons on PDA. According to analysis the experiment data, there are five results. 1. While the clicking sequence was from right to left, the click performance of icons on PDA would be better. 2. While the location was on the IV quadrant, the click performance of icons on PDA would be better. 3. While the background color was blue-black, the click performance of icons on PDA would be better. 4. Icon size was recommended to be as least 8mm x 8mm. 5. While the characters were being Chinese letters, the click performance of icons on PDA would be better.
