The Radiant Vision Systems flat panel display (FPD) conoscope lens enables high-resolution photopic measurement of the angular distribution of color, luminance, and contrast of displays and display components. Radiant Vision Systems utilizes Fourier optics that map an emitting spot to an image sensor so that each pixel corresponds to a different emission angle. The conoscope lens captures a full cone of view angle data in a single measurement up to ±70 degrees. This provides quick, accurate results, making the system ideal for both R&D projects and in-line production quality control. The lens is well-suited to a wide range of display types including those based on LCD and OLED technologies, as well as backlights.

Seamless Evaluation from R&D to Production Lines

The FPD conoscope lens solution simultaneously acquires view angle measurements to ±70 degrees with reduced hardware size and complexity compared to typical goniometric measurement systems for R&D applications. A ProMetric camera and lens combination can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions. Because of its speed and compact form factor, the conoscope lens solution is also ideally-suited for in-line inspection of displays during production. This capability enables real-time pass/reject operations based on display view angle performance data, eliminating poor-quality components from the line and identifying quality trends before significant materials loss. Using the FPD conoscope lens, Radiant Vision Systems cameras can be applied concurrently in R&D and production environments to capture identical measurements of view angle data for seamless evaluation of displays throughout an entire product lifecycle, from initial characterization to quality control.

Mount to ProMetric Photometers and Colorimeters

The FPD conoscope lens mounts directly to a ProMetric Y Imaging Photometer or ProMetric I Imaging Colorimeter using a custom bracket. By mounting a conoscope lens directly to a ProMetric imaging photometer or colorimeter, the conoscope lens offers the most efficient means of measuring view angle performance using a turnkey, compact camera solution that requires minimal setup and integration time, equipment, or expertise. As part of the ProMetric family of imaging colorimeters and photometers, the conoscope lens camera solution also comes with ProMetric Software, a powerful, Windows-based software suite that provides equipment control, data acquisition and image analysis.

Key Features and Highlights:

Accurate, reliable measurement of luminance, chromaticity, and contrast up to ±70° view angle
Faster than goniometric systems, capturing data for all angles simultaneously
Easily paired with ProMetric imaging colorimeters or photometers
Combination of low cost, high performance, and flexibility, designed for R&D and quality assurance labs
Easy-to-use measurement control and anlaysis software

All Radiant Vision Systems cameras feature ProMetric Software, which provides intuitive camera set-up and customizeable automated measurement sequences. Extensive data analysis and display functions are also supported, including isometric plots, cross-section graphs, radar plots, bitmaps and CIE color plots.

Typical Applications:

The FPD conoscope lens simplifies the process of capturing view angle measurements using a single compact camera solution that addresses both off-line and in-line applications:
