R2-29 report 2004-06-08.ppt/Bp © METAS - 2 maets metrology and accreditation switzerland R2-29 Characterization of imaging luminance measurement devices Conclusion of the 1st report from metrological point of view ILMDs are complex systems (traceability, software validation, etc) the parameters defined by CIE 69-1987 are not sufficient to characterize ILMDs there is some interest from industry to have some guidelines on how characterize ILMDs Prepare a Technical Report on methods for the characterization of imaging luminance measurement devices TR:

8. R2-29 report 2004-06-08.ppt/Bp © METAS - 8 maets metrology and accreditation switzerland R2-29 Characterization of imaging luminance measurement devices Discussions with users Some differences in measurements of the same sample were found between different users having different systems (differences up to 20%) Explication: - Measurement task: measurement of luminance distribution of displays with LED backlights. This is inherit to ILDMs: partial filtering is not applicable and there is only a limited number of glass fiters available. © TechnoTeam GmbH One has to life/deal with that problem ! The situation is even worse when grayfilters have to be used Most users are „happy“ with the system they were using However: best possible f 1 ‘ that can be done on ILMDs is in the order of 2.5%

9. R2-29 report 2004-06-08.ppt/Bp © METAS - 9 maets metrology and accreditation switzerland R2-29 Characterization of imaging luminance measurement devices Discussions with manufacturers There is a limited interest from industry to have some internationally agreed guidelines on how to characterize ILMDs. The characterization problems are solved mostly within the industry. Some procedures are part of the “in-house” knockledge of the manufactures. One manufacturer is strongly in favor for a CIE-TC (and would like to chair a possible TC).

What to do with the parameters in CIE 69-1986 that are not applicable or missing?

There is always a mathematical transformation between the luminance value and the pixel value, typically luminance(x,y,t) = (pxl (x,y,t) - dark(x,y) - dark(t)) * calibration * shading (x,y) * nonlinearity (pxl) luminance(x,y,t) = pxl (x,y,t) * calibration ideal: real:
