Modular imaging measurement systems to cover automotive applications

Abstract

Display and ambient lighting applications are becoming more and more prevalent in today’s cars. At the same time, customer’s expectations for the quality of these devices is increasing, based on their experience with smartphones and other consumer electronics. In order to assure the quality of displays within the car, measurement systems that characterize them are necessary. Here, imaging systems provide an advantage compared to spotbased systems, as they can measure entire displays in one shot, which allows capturing features such as uniformity or pixel defects in addition to luminance and color. Still, the large variety of display types ranging from head up displays all the way to VR applications, requires very different measurement setups and different optics. This talk will highlight the various needs of different applications, and show how a modular measurement setup can cover many of them in a single system.
