SPOTLIGHT: Sparkle Measurement
Evaluate the effect of “sparkle” in anti-glare display layers. The Radiant Sparkle Measurement Method quantifies sparkle using a mean pixel-level luminance variation percentage across the display. This value matches human determinations of acceptable display quality, which can be used to set measurable tolerances for films and coatings.
Pinpoint errors at the component level: cell/open cell, backlight unit (BLU), LCD module, cover glass, and films or coatings.
Things to consider:
• Do you know the source of your defect? When a display
reaches final assembly, several materials and processes
have already been applied—some defective or damaging.
Inspection at each layer stops issues at the source.
Example of anti-glare sparkle on LCD displays:
Luminance variation: 2.4% Human Rating: Acceptable
Luminance variation: 4.1% Human Rating: Poor
Radiant cameras measure and calculate correction factors for discrepancies in light output between subpixels in OLED, microLED, and other emissive display technologies.
SPOTLIGHT: Demura
The Radiant “demura” process corrects pixel uniformity in emissive displays. A high-resolution ProMetric system takes a measurement of each display subpixel and calculates the correction factors needed to equalize luminance output. These factors are then applied to each subpixel to adjust output and produce a display with a uniform appearance.
Radiant images of an OLED display before and after demura.
Things to consider:
• Demura correction reduces
waste of “defective” materials.
• Pixel shape, size, color, and
pattern vary from display to
display. Radiant software
dynamically registers all
pixels regardless of variation.
Things to consider:
• Displays in fixed integrations may be viewed off-angle.
Radiant’s FPD Conoscope Lens evaluates the visibility of a
display at view angles to ±70° in every direction at once.
• Achieve more versatility in a single instrument. Switch
between the FPD conoscope and standard lenses to use
Radiant cameras for other display measurements like
uniformity, pixel defects, mura, and more.
IRTUAL & AUGMENTED REALITY
Things to consider:
• Wide fields of view
create immersive
experiences.
Radiant’s AR/VR
lens captures 120°
horizontal FOV,
even at close range.
• Viewed at close proximity, display defects become more
apparent, so testing at the human eye position is crucial.
• With aperture located at the front, Radiant’s AR/VR lens
captures the complete display FOV as seen by the user.
URFACE INSPECTION
Engineered for light measurement, Radiant cameras offer superior imaging to capture subtle defects in high-value assemblies and surfaces.
SPOTLIGHT: “Just Noticeable Differences”
Things to consider:
• Quality doesn’t stop at the display. Radiant’s advanced
vision systems leverage light measurement advantages
to enable surface and assembly inspection beyond the
capabilities of humans and standard machine vision.
JND is the amount of change over an area that is noticeable to a human observer. Radiant software uses a JND value to detect and grade non-uniform areas of light and color in illuminated displays.This process can be extended to inspection of external devicesurfaces and coverglass to identify,classify, and gradethe severity of unknown defects in unknown locations.
Radiant high-resolution imagers capture each display pixel over an area of several sensor pixels.
Apply Radiant cameras at all stages of production to catch defects before final assembly.

EAD-UP DISPLAYS
SAE J1757-2 “Optical System HUD for Automotive” provides examples using Radiant cameras for standard measurement.
Radiant’s fully-automated HUD measurement solution syncs HUD test images with analyses.
Things to consider:
• SAE-standard HUD evaluation requires photometric
(brightness) and dimensional (location, position, distance)
measurements. Radiant imaging colorimeters provide a
single system to evaluate all aspects of the HUD projection.
• SAE-standard testing can be applied in R&D, quality
testing, and production to evaluate:
• Luminance
• Color
• Uniformity
• Contrast
• Pixel Defects
• MTF (Sharpness)
• Eyebox Limit
• Distortion
• Warping
• Ghosting

Things to consider:
• If the human eye is the target market—and judge of quality—
for your products, wouldn’t you choose a measurement
system that matches human vision?
• Radiant cameras are factory calibrated using procedures that
enable traceability to national standards, ensuring accurate
and repeatable measurements based on global standards.
ELECTRONIC HARDWARE CONTROLRadiant cameras are software-
adjustable and feature electronic
lens focus and aperture settings

01RESOLUTIONRadiant ProMetric® cameras are among
the highest-resolution imaging photometers
and colorimeters on the market.
Things to consider:
• High resolution is critical for
measurement at the pixel level.
• High resolution does not
guarantee quality images—
small pixels capture more noise,
causing imprecise image analysis.
Radiant’s image sensors offer larger
pixels and advanced calibrations to
optimize signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
• Cooling reduces noise and
measurement error. Radiant’s image
sensors are thermoelectrically

ABSOLUTE LUMINANCE & COLORRadiant ProMetric imaging systems incorporate specially-
engineered optical filters to replicate the human photopic
response to light and color, simulating visual perception.
CIE-matched cameras simulate the human eye’s response to various wavelengths of light.
The CIE color-matching functions provide the basis for obtaining quantifiable values of perceived color for scientific color measurement. Radiant imaging colorimeters replicate light intensity per wavelength given by these curves using a tristimulus filter system, adjusting exposure for each filter to ensure absolute measurement to human vision.
SPOTLIGHT: Tristimulus Filter System
CIE-Matched Optical Filters
• Focal Distance: Flat-field
calibration; Image scaling
• Device Spectral Power Distribution (SPD):
Luminance calibration; Color calibrations, such as
one- and four-color calibration (single-color or RGB
emitters); LED and white phosphor LED calibration
• Lensing effects: Distortion calibration (if applicable)
Before distortion calibration After distortion calibration
Things to consider:
• Measurement conditions change. Calibration ensures accurate,
absolute data across users, devices, and environments.
• Radiant cameras automatically apply calibrations for new focal
and aperture settings, removing this burden from the operator.
SPOTLIGHT: Black Mura Testing
In automotive Black Mura testing, lenses can be electronically defocused to meet the required modulation depth percentage (between 50-90%) to remove moiré interference. Refocusing the lens enables the same camera to inspect for small defects like stuck pixels, lines, particles, or surface scratches.
Defocus for moiré removal Refocus quickly for detail inspection
Things to consider:
• Electronically-controlled lenses remove human error by
adjusting to data points entered into the software.
• Locating objects or virtual images at multiple depths requires
focal adjustment. Electronically-controlled lenses greatly
reduce time between measurements.
• Radiant cameras include an Auto Adjust Exposure function to
optimize the imaging system for any environment.
R&D OR PRODUCTION PLATFORMRadiant cameras operate on multiple
platforms to enable flexible control.
Choose where to implement a system. Share and compare data from lab to line.

response to light and color, simulating visual perception.
CIE-matched cameras simulate the human eye’s response to various wavelengths of light.
The CIE color-matching functions provide the basis for obtaining quantifiable values of perceived color for scientific color measurement. Radiant imaging colorimeters replicate light intensity per wavelength given by these curves using a tristimulus filter system, adjusting exposure for each filter to ensure absolute measurement to human vision.

Luminance calibration; Color calibrations, such as
one- and four-color calibration (single-color or RGB
emitters); LED and white phosphor LED calibration
• Lensing effects: Distortion calibration (if applicable)
Before distortion calibration After distortion calibration
Things to consider:
• Measurement conditions change. Calibration ensures accurate,
absolute data across users, devices, and environments.
• Radiant cameras automatically apply calibrations for new focal
and aperture settings, removing this burden from the operator.
SPOTLIGHT: Black Mura Testing
In automotive Black Mura testing, lenses can be electronically defocused to meet the required modulation depth percentage (between 50-90%) to remove moiré interference. Refocusing the lens enables the same camera to inspect for small defects like stuck pixels, lines, particles, or surface scratches.
Defocus for moiré removal Refocus quickly for detail inspection
Things to consider:
• Electronically-controlled lenses remove human error by
adjusting to data points entered into the software.
• Locating objects or virtual images at multiple depths requires
focal adjustment. Electronically-controlled lenses greatly
reduce time between measurements.
• Radiant cameras include an Auto Adjust Exposure function to
optimize the imaging system for any environment.

CIE-matched cameras simulate the human eye’s response to various wavelengths of light.
The CIE color-matching functions provide the basis for obtaining quantifiable values of perceived color for scientific color measurement. Radiant imaging colorimeters replicate light intensity per wavelength given by these curves using a tristimulus filter system, adjusting exposure for each filter to ensure absolute measurement to human vision.
SPOTLIGHT: Tristimulus Filter System
CIE-Matched Optical Filters
• Focal Distance: Flat-field
calibration; Image scaling
• Device Spectral Power Distribution (SPD):
Luminance calibration; Color calibrations, such as
one- and four-color calibration (single-color or RGB
emitters); LED and white phosphor LED calibration
• Lensing effects: Distortion calibration (if applicable)
Before distortion calibration After distortion calibration
Things to consider:
• Measurement conditions change. Calibration ensures accurate,
absolute data across users, devices, and environments.
• Radiant cameras automatically apply calibrations for new focal
and aperture settings, removing this burden from the operator.
SPOTLIGHT: Black Mura Testing
In automotive Black Mura testing, lenses can be electronically defocused to meet the required modulation depth percentage (between 50-90%) to remove moiré interference. Refocusing the lens enables the same camera to inspect for small defects like stuck pixels, lines, particles, or surface scratches.
Defocus for moiré removal Refocus quickly for detail inspection
Things to consider:
• Electronically-controlled lenses remove human error by
adjusting to data points entered into the software.
• Locating objects or virtual images at multiple depths requires
focal adjustment. Electronically-controlled lenses greatly
reduce time between measurements.
• Radiant cameras include an Auto Adjust Exposure function to
optimize the imaging system for any environment.
R&D OR PRODUCTION PLATFORMRadiant cameras operate on multiple
platforms to enable flexible control.
Choose where to implement a system. Share and compare data from lab to line.
• Manual or partially-automated for R&D
• Fully automated for production lines
ProMetric® Software comes with every Radiant camera
and includes programming examples for external readout.
TrueTest™ Software provides test sequencing and on-site
training to equip users to modify sequences on their own.
SPOTLIGHT: Automated Test Sequencing Applying multiple tests in an automated sequence results in massive time-savings.
SPOTLIGHT: Characterizing Mura
Radiant’s display test expertise extends into defect families. Our TrueMURA™ Software module includes tests to detect, classify, and grade over 15 types of display mura.
Things to consider:
• Radiant works with major
manufacturers of flat panel,
touch, free-form, head-up,
wearable, virtual reality,
curved, OLED, microLED,
and all other display types.
• Radiant mura algorithms
compute “Just Noticeable
Differences” based on
U.S. Patent 7,783,130

SPOTLIGHT: Auto-POI
Radiant’s “automatic points-of-interest” tool evaluates entire instrument clusters, locating POI dynamically based on light and color.
Luminance Threshold Color Threshold
Static POI: Symbol rotates outside of region
Auto-POI: Region defined by color value
Things to consider:
• Complex instrument panels may contain symbols of many
shapes, colors, and locations. Radiant’s imaging systems
can capture and define all symbols in a single measurement.
• Symbols may fall outside of statically-defined POI. Radiant’s
responsive registration tools dynamically snap to precise
symbol shapes, even when devices are rotated or moved, or
symbols appear in different arrangements.
RADIANT SYSTEM:
SPOTLIGHT: Enhanced Color Calibration
Optional factory color calibration offers out-of-the-box accuracy for:
• Narrow-band sources (LEDs)
• White phosphor LEDs and LED-based components
Users can also leverage ECC to create custom calibrations for:
• Accuracy over a large color space — A single calibration to measure a range of values.
• Ease of use — Import a spectrum or data from a spectrometer, rather than entering reference values.
NO.1 FOR DISPLAY TESTThe number-one provider of display test solutions
worldwide, Radiant is chosen by the leading innovators
in displays—which means we develop the majority of the
industry’s display test algorithms and methods.
CALIBRATIONEach Radiant camera and lens pair
can be calibrated for unique
applications—ensuring consistency
regardless of variation in:
Set tolerances for registration regions based on color coordinates or by drawing shapes directly on the CIE color space.
LIGHT & COLOR THRESHOLDSRadiant software defines regions of
interest based on luminance ranges
or chromaticity coordinates, enabling
precise character evaluation.
Automatic moiré removal eliminates aliasing effects while preserving important image information needed for mura and pixel-level analysis.
• • •
Things to consider:
• Data acquired by Radiant cameras is portable across
systems, ensuring consistency from lab to line.
• Low-resolution and noisy images reduce camera accuracy
and measurement speed. Radiant’s imaging advantages
capture the clearest images for fast in-line image processing.
• TrueTest Software is the leading production platform for light
and color measurement, with an API to control test images on
displays, trigger cameras, and synchronize pass/fail analyses.
OPTICAL CONFIGURATIONS
Lenses designed for advanced measurement tasks allow
users to create optical configurations that leverage the
power of Radiant cameras in a range of applications.

SPOTLIGHT: Sparkle Measurement
Evaluate the effect of “sparkle” in anti-glare display layers. The Radiant Sparkle Measurement Method quantifies sparkle using a mean pixel-level luminance variation percentage across the display. This value matches human determinations of acceptable display quality, which can be used to set measurable tolerances for films and coatings.
Pinpoint errors at the component level: cell/open cell, backlight unit (BLU), LCD module, cover glass, and films or coatings.
Things to consider:
• Do you know the source of your defect? When a display
reaches final assembly, several materials and processes
have already been applied—some defective or damaging.
Inspection at each layer stops issues at the source.
Example of anti-glare sparkle on LCD displays:
Luminance variation: 2.4% Human Rating: Acceptable
Luminance variation: 4.1% Human Rating: Poor
Radiant cameras measure and calculate correction factors for discrepancies in light output between subpixels in OLED, microLED, and other emissive display technologies.
SPOTLIGHT: Demura
The Radiant “demura” process corrects pixel uniformity in emissive displays. A high-resolution ProMetric system takes a measurement of each display subpixel and calculates the correction factors needed to equalize luminance output. These factors are then applied to each subpixel to adjust output and produce a display with a uniform appearance.
Radiant images of an OLED display before and after demura.
Things to consider:
• Demura correction reduces
waste of “defective” materials.
• Pixel shape, size, color, and
pattern vary from display to
display. Radiant software
dynamically registers all
pixels regardless of variation.
Things to consider:
• Displays in fixed integrations may be viewed off-angle.
Radiant’s FPD Conoscope Lens evaluates the visibility of a
display at view angles to ±70° in every direction at once.
• Achieve more versatility in a single instrument. Switch
between the FPD conoscope and standard lenses to use
Radiant cameras for other display measurements like
uniformity, pixel defects, mura, and more.
IRTUAL & AUGMENTED REALITY
Things to consider:
• Wide fields of view
create immersive
experiences.
Radiant’s AR/VR
lens captures 120°
horizontal FOV,
even at close range.
• Viewed at close proximity, display defects become more
apparent, so testing at the human eye position is crucial.
• With aperture located at the front, Radiant’s AR/VR lens
captures the complete display FOV as seen by the user.
URFACE INSPECTION
Engineered for light measurement, Radiant cameras offer superior imaging to capture subtle defects in high-value assemblies and surfaces.
SPOTLIGHT: “Just Noticeable Differences”
Things to consider:
• Quality doesn’t stop at the display. Radiant’s advanced
vision systems leverage light measurement advantages
to enable surface and assembly inspection beyond the
capabilities of humans and standard machine vision.
JND is the amount of change over an area that is noticeable to a human observer. Radiant software uses a JND value to detect and grade non-uniform areas of light and color in illuminated displays.This process can be extended to inspection of external devicesurfaces and coverglass to identify,classify, and gradethe severity of unknown defects in unknown locations.
Radiant high-resolution imagers capture each display pixel over an area of several sensor pixels.
