SPECTRAL-BASED CALORIMETRIC CALIBRATION OF A 3CCD COLOR CAMERA FOR FAST AND ACCURATE CHARACTERIZATION AND CALIBRATION OF LCD DISPLAYS

摘要

LCD displays exhibit significant amount of variability in their tone-responses, color responses and backlight-modulation responses. LCD display characterization and calibration using a spectrometer or a color meter, however, leads to two basic deficiencies: (a) It can only generate calibration data based on a single spot on the display (usually at panel center); and (b) It generally takes a significant amount of time to do the required measurement. As a result, a fast and efficient system for a full LCD display characterization and calibration is required. Herein, a system based on a 3CCD calorimetrically-calibrated camera is presented which can be used for full characterization and calibration of LCD displays. The camera can provide full tri-stimulus measurements in real time. To achieve high-degree of accuracy, colorimetric calibration of camera is carried out based on spectral method.
