Konica Minolta’s Light Measuring Instrument for Electronic Display
Display Color Analyzer CA-410
This is Konica Minolta’s light measuring instrument for electronic displays related to IEC TR 62977-1-31 (a technical report). It can measure the colors on a display quickly and accurately over a wide range, from super-low luminance to high luminance, by using proprietary optical technology and high-performance sensor circuit technology. The product helps accurately evaluate and adjust HDR* displays, including organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays, which require measurement of super-low luminance.
*HDR: Abbreviation for “high dynamic range.” This technology can display a wider range of luminance than before, allowing HDR displays to produce bright and dark areas more naturally.
