[. . . ] Contrast Inspection / Adjustment Photo shows Universal Measuring Probe FASTER · The luminance and chromaticity of display can be measured as fast as 20 times per second (maximum), enabling faster Gamma measurement. EASY TO USE · The measurement position can be easily confirmed by pointing function. · Short measuring distance of 30 mm enables compact measuring system. · Precise measurement can be obtained without the influence of the outside light by short measuring distance and the rubber hood (standard accessory). [. . . ] IEC 61747-6, which defines the measurement method for LCDs, specifies that the viewing angle of the measuring instrument for evaluating LCDs should be within 5°. (The viewing angle is shown by 1, 2, 3 and 1, 2, 3. ) The CA-210 has a viewing angle of 5°, and so meets the requirements of the IEC standard. For a conventional measuring instrument, when the measuring head has been set so that the measurement axis is perpendicular to the surface of the emitting surface of the measurement subject, differences in the measurement position do not result in great differences in the viewing angle itself (shown as 1, 2, 3 in the figure), but if we look at the incident angle relative to the normal to the emitting surface (shown as a dotted line in the figure), we see that the maximum angles (shown as '1 and '3 in the diagram) are very different. At the edges of the measurement area, light from far outside the viewing angle is received. By using a special optical system in the CA-210, the angle of the received light is symmetrical about the normal to the emitting surface for every point within the measuring area (27 mm). Since the viewing angle of the CA-210 is 5°, the light received would be only the light within ±2. 5° relative to the normal to the emitting surface (shown as a dotted line in the figure).
