A calibrated hyperspectral camera is used for luminance and color measurements for the entire surface of LED<br />

backlights. The measurement results are compared and are consistent with the results of point-to-point<br />

measurements of the widely-used Topcon spectroradiom<strong>et</strong>er SR-3A. This new hyperspectral camera demonstrates<br />

the feasibility and reliability of this<br />

application. The results show the maximum<br />

differences in luminance and CIE color<br />

coordinates measurements are 2.9 % and<br />

0.002, respectively. The schematic image<br />

type hyper spectrom<strong>et</strong>er is shown in the<br />

figure. It consists of an objective lens, an<br />

entrance slit and a prism-grating-prism<br />

(PGP) structure. The hyperspectral camera is<br />

a line scanning system with high spectral<br />

resolutions. The line image of the targ<strong>et</strong> is<br />

formed by imaging optics and then projected<br />

on a CCD imaging sensor. The spectral<br />

Light dispersed via PGP structure to CCD image sensor of the<br />

hyperspectral CCD camera<br />

range of the hyperspectral camera is from 380nm to 1100nm. A 1344x1024 12-bit CCD camera (HAMAMATSU<br />

C8484- 05G) was used for the experiment. The entire surface information of the LED backlight is derived by<br />

scanning of the targ<strong>et</strong>. Digital images of the targ<strong>et</strong> are captured by a personal computer via IEEE 1394 interface.<br />

Accurate colorim<strong>et</strong>ric characterization is an important step in establishing the color management system for LCDs<br />

to achieve device-independent color reproduction. The gain-offs<strong>et</strong>-gamma (GOG) model that is accurate enough in<br />

describing the tone reproduction curves (TRCs) for CRT displays has been found inadequate for characterizing<br />

LCDs due to mainly channel interaction and non-constancy of channel chromaticity. In this paper, a modified<br />

GOG model that takes channel interaction and backlight leakage into account is proposed to accurately characterize<br />

the TRCs of LCDs. Experimental results indicate that the proposed model outperforms the conventional GOG<br />

model in terms of the CIEDE2000 color difference b<strong>et</strong>ween the XYZ values of the measured color sample and the<br />

estimated XYZ values. The effect of channel interaction is considered in the proposed model by measuring the<br />

param<strong>et</strong>ers of gain and gamma of the GOG model as functions of input digital counts. Experimental results show<br />

that the proposed model outperforms the conventional GOG model and is effective in accurate color reproduction<br />

of LCDs. The proposed model is also believed to be helpful in characterizing the color sequential displays that<br />

show apparent dependence b<strong>et</strong>ween color channels.<br />

The noise and resolution characteristics of a dual-layer LCD capable of high luminance range are presented with<br />

emphasis on the measurement and analysis m<strong>et</strong>hods considering the parallax effect. The results are compared to an<br />

identical panel with a single-layer structure. The figure shows a single-pixel line displayed in both front and back<br />

layer. As a result of the parallax effect, the lines overlap fairly well at about 15 degrees. The parallax effect is<br />
