Abstract: The present invention discloses a light source with uniform chromaticity and luminance and a color sensor having the same. The light source includes multiple LED devices, a primary light guide plate assembly and a secondary light guide plate assembly. The chromaticity and luminance of light emitted from the LED devices are uniformized for the first time in the primary light guide plate assembly and then guided into the secondary light guide plate assembly for the secondary chromaticity and luminance uniformization, to thereby act as the light source of the color sensor. Therefore, the light source not only provides better chromaticity and luminance uniformization effects, but is further qualified as the standard illuminant D65, thereby enabling more precise color sensor inspection results.

Abstract: An optical system is presented that enables images of a wide range of natural subjects to be well reproduced with their colors, and provides an image pickup system including, at least, an image pickup optical system, an electronic image pickup device having three or more different spectral characteristics to obtain a color image, and a controller for implementing signal processing or image processing on the basis of an output from the electronic image pickup device. The optical element that takes part in determining the focal length in the image pickup system includes an optical element making use of a refraction phenomenon alone. The 400-nm wavelength input/output ratio is 10% or less with respect to an input-output ratio for a 400-nm to 800-nm wavelength at which an output signal strength ratio with respect to an input quantity of light is highest when the input quantity of light is defined by the quantity of a light beam emanating from the same object point and entering the image pickup optical system and the output signal strength is defined by the strength of a signal produced from the controller in response to the light beam.

Abstract: Color measurement using compact devices is described herein. A color measurement device can include a diffraction grating that receives light reflected from a surface whose color is being measured. The diffraction grating is responsive to a control signal to split selected components from the reflected light and to admit the components in sequence to a sensor. The components can correspond to a selected wavelength or frequency of the reflected light. The sensor measures the energy or power level of each of the admitted components. The device can support determining a spectral representation of the color of the surface by generating output signals representing the various energy or power levels of each component of the light reflected from the surface.
