Testing Reflections

and Transmissions of Lit Materials


WHY IMAGING COLORIMETRY?

•  Imaging colorimeters interpret light & color at spatial and angular distributions just the way a human does

•  Imaging colorimetry provides objective information that can be evaluated, compared, and shared

•  Images can be used to describe and model performance

•  Imaging colorimeters are fast, reliable, and accurate

•  Allow comparisons to be made between devices and materials

•  Enable repeatable, reliable quality evaluation (pass/fail data) in high-speed, high-volume production applications

•  Imaging colorimeters are adaptable to applications requiring human visual interpretation of light at variable distances and angles


IMAGING COLORIMETER ADVANTAGES

•  For display testing: •  High-speed imaging for production-level measurement •  Replicates human visual evaluation of quality •  Used in OQC (out-going quality control), imaging colorimeter reduce

defective product escapes, improving the customer experience



•  For light characterization: •  Goniometric systems with

imaging colorimeters characterize light sources to create ray sets for lighting design applications

•  Goniometers and Near-Field Measurement Systems (NFMS) generate the IES (or EULUMDAT) files needed by lighting designers



•  Other applications, including:

•  Illuminated keyboard testing

•  LED screen correction

•  Surface inspection and material appearance


WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?

•  Human vision !  Pro: Relatively fast and flexible !  Con: Subjective, unquantified, highly variable

•  Spot meters !  Pro: Fast and accurate !  Con: Do not capture spatial or angular data except by

taking multiple measurements; time-consuming !  Con: Integrates over a fixed area; no fine-scale

resolution

•  Machine vision cameras !  Pro: Fast, small, and relatively simple !  Con: Not calibrated to simulate human vision; do not

match human judgment
