Quality of backlit symbols is determined equally by their brightness, color, and uniformity of illumination as it is by their dimensional integrity. Read an article to learn how photometric capabilities (for measuring brightness and color) and computer vision capabilities (for evaluating shape and defects) come together to provide the ultimate visual inspection solution for automotive symbols.

Optical testing is needed, but which test equipment and methods are best for evaluating quality at each element—and which are ideal for final assembly inspection, when the visual output of the holistic design is viewed through the headset?
In this interview with AZO Optics, Davis Bowling, Sales Manager - North America at Radiant Vision Systems, discusses common performance issues specific to each component of an XR device, novel optical test methods, and Radiant's portfolio of measurement solutions that provide critical data for quality control at each stage of XR design and manufacture.

Display pixels are constantly changing. Higher resolutions in smart devices, augmented and virtual reality headsets, and TV screens have made pixels smaller, while the pursuit of contrast has demanded pixels with brighter brights and blacker blacks. Not all pixels are created equal, however. For this reason, manufacturers of display devices have turned from LCD (liquid crystal display) technology toward new OLED (organic light-emitting diode), miniLED, and microLED technologies. This shift has provided consumers with improved visual experiences but has added production challenges for display manufacturers.

Imaging Colorimeters have become an essential tool for development and production of display technology due to their ability to quickly obtain luminance and chromaticity information with the quantification of contrast, uniformity, mura, light leakage or dead pixels.
This recent article in Consumer Electronics Test & Development explains how the expertise and technology of the Konica Minolta Group can be leveraged to improve outcomes in the high-volume display industry.

industry. However, procedures that have been used so far and the use of simple image processing cameras often do not do justice to the task at hand. The displays used in automobiles are developing rapidly. The size and the resolution are constantly increasing to the extent that the 15.6 inch diagonals and 1920 x 1200 pixels find their way into the middle class.

testing for every display on the line is critical. The use of imaging colorimeter systems and associated analytical software to assess display brightness, color uniformity, and contrast—and to identify defects in displays—is well established. In this article, we describe how imaging colorimetry can be used in a fully-automated testing system to identify and quantify defects in high-speed, high-volume production environments. We will also cover the test setup and the range of tests that can be performed—spanning simple point defect detection through complex mura detection and evaluation.

ther display technologies. As OLED manufacturers work to launch commercially viable OLED-based products, high costs due to manufacturing yield issues have hindered widespread OLED technology adoption, most dramatically in large-format implementations, as they drive up end customer prices. This article describes how to use imaging colorimeters to improve OLED display production testing efficiency and yields for optimal price/performance.

increasingly used as an alternative to more traditional technologies. The intended purpose of the measurement – to inform development, to characterize or evaluate finished products, for production quality control, or for in-use performance assessment – determines the photometric and colorimetric quantities that are important to measure. This – plus constraints on measurement time, accuracy, and cost – determine options for measurement methods. We survey a number of measurement methods that generate either near-field or far-field models of the LED or luminaire and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses to guide us in selecting the right measurement method for the application. Of particular interest is not only the measurement of individual LEDs, but also the measurement of LED arrays, luminaires, and displays.
