Electronic projection displays involve the projection of an image, usually through a lens system, onto a viewing screen. Metrics such as light output, contrast, non-uniformity, and color gamut are used to describe the resultant image quality. although
The accurate measurement of small area black levels is important in projection display characterization. For example, techniques can be used to determine resolution of projection systems by measuring the contrast of alternating grill patterns or fully
This is a report to the committee regarding reflection measurements that impact the current draft standard. Diffuse reflectance measurements are compared to transmitting diffuser measurements of several flat panel displays and samples in attempts to show
Measuring the optical characteristics of a microdisplay produces challenges to traditional display metrology. When using light-measuring devices to measure scenes having high contrasts or wide color variations, the instruments suffer the effects of veiling

We describe a calibratin and measurement procedure for determining the intrinsic frequency response fo gigabit chip photodiodes embedded in simple test fixtures. The procedure is unique because we make the measurements in the time-domain using a calibrated
Electronic projection display specifications are often based on measurements made in ideal darkroom conditions and assume ideal measurement instrumentation. However, not everyone has access to such a facility, and not always will the light-measuring
Three methods are presented to measure the ratio of full-screen white to full-screen black under diffuse illumination scaled to a typical illuminance level encountered in automotive and aviation environments. This contrast is called the ambient contrast of
There are two types of optical sources whose modulation can be measured or calculated from fundamental principles: the hererodyne beat between two single- frequency lasers (frequency-domain) and the short pulse from a mode-locked laser (time-domain). While
Measuring the frequency response of an optical receiver is easy if you have a standard reference receiver, a simple test setup, and a network analyzer to perform electrical mismatch corrections. Your test setup consists fo the receiver you want to test, a

A prototype display measurement assessment transfer standard (DMATS) is being developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to assist the display industry in standardizing measurement methods used to quantify and specify the
Flying-spot displays use narrow-spectrum high-power sources that scan the image across the display screen. They can provide a bright display with a large color gamut. When such displays are measured with conventional light-measuring devices (LMDs) such as
Most people are surprised to learn of the complexities of measuring the performance of electronic displays. Serious errors are encountered in even seemingly simple measurements if we blithely measure displays without being aware of the pitfalls. We discuss
