The recognition limit of luminance difference in the human visual system (HVS) has not been studied systematically. In this paper, surround adapted Weber-Fechner fraction is calculated based on the crispening effect. It is found that surround adapted fractions have reduced to 1/3 of the traditional Weber-Fechner fractions. As compared with Breitmeyer's experiments, the presented result is a reasonable one. It can be used as some guide to design the digital display system when a designer needs to decide bit count of digital signal in considering of the limit of brightness level, and as the inspection tool of display manufacturing of brightness smear, defect, and so on.
