An optical property measurement apparatus includes: a main body which includes a plane-shape surface that is so disposed as to face the display portion; an optical sensor which receives light directed from an opening that is formed through the plane-shape surface; and a support portion which is disposed on a side of the plane-shape surface and keeps a constant distance between the display portion and the plane-shape surface; wherein a light shield portion that is so disposed as to enclose a circumferential area of the opening of the plane-shape surface and shields entrance of light from a region other than a measurement target region of the display portion when the optical property is measured.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to infer operating states of a display based on visible light are disclosed. An example device includes an optical receiver to be positioned with respect to a display to receive visible light from the display. The example device includes a sensor to measure a color and an intensity of the visible light received. The example device includes an operating state detector to analyze the measured intensity and color of the visible light detected by the sensor to generate an output indicative of an operating state of the display.

A method for characterizing the color response of an imaging device, the method includes reproducing a color on the imaging device based on a set of device color coordinates; measuring spectral values for the reproduced color with a spectral measurement device controlled by a digital processing system; calculating a first set of tristimulus values from the spectral values; defining a set of human observer color matching functions, the set of human observer color matching functions being functions of the first set of tristimulus values of the reproduced color; calculating a second set of tristimulus values from the spectral values using the defined set of human observer color matching functions; and associating the reproduced device color coordinate with the second set of tristimulus values.
Abstract:
Improved methods are provided for calibrating color on a color display coupled to a computer, which are useful for obtaining calibrated data in a virtual proof network for enabling different color devices to render consistent color. Methods involve user interactions with screens on the display to set color display parameters. An apparatus is also provided for calibrating a sensor which may be used for measuring color of a display in one or more of these methods.
Abstract:
A fluorescent color calibrator for calibrating RGB pixel values is provided. The fluorescent color calibrator includes a plurality of fluorogenic compounds adapted to fluoresce in a visible color spectrum; and a second plurality of fluorogenic compounds adapted to fluoresce in multiple visible gray spectrums. Also provided is a method for using the fluorescent color calibrator to standardize fluorescent colors when viewing with an RGB monitor.
Abstract:
An apparatus, methods, and systems for multi-color projection or display for video or lighting applications. One aspect of the present invention comprises an algorithm for utilizing at least four primary light sources to represent a projected pixel color. The algorithm and associated system can be applied to both a natively monochromatic light source or traditional light sources filtered for their colored components. The algorithm can be used for either color sequential or parallel modes of operation. The algorithm takes input pixel data represented in a universal color coordinate system, performs a color transform, and disperses the results among parallel display devices or sequentially to a single device such that each pixel is presented by the combination of four or more primaries.

Abstract:
A display inspection tool includes a securing member and a color detector securing unit. The securing member includes a top edge securing portion that is adapted for disposing on a top edge of a display, and a bottom edge securing portion that is adapted for abutting against a bottom edge of the display. By disposing the top edge securing portion on the top edge of the display, and bringing the bottom edge securing portion into abutment against the bottom edge of the display, the securing member can be quickly mounted on the display. The color detector securing unit is provided on a rear face of the securing member and is adapted for securing a color detector so as to perform color detection when the securing member is mounted on the display.
Abstract:
A color calibration system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a display device provided with a color sensor for detecting a color temperature and illuminance of ambient light, a microcomputer, and a colorimeter for performing colorimetry on a display screen of the display device from the outside. The microcomputer calculates a target value by using a preset calculation equation and a detection result on the ambient light detected by the color sensor. Then, the microcomputer automatically performs color calibration of the display device so that a colorimetry result obtained by the colorimeter may agree with the target value.
