Robust Testing of Displays using the Extreme Linear Dynamic Range CAOS Camera

Abstract

Proposed and demonstrated for the first time is robust testing of optical displays using the extreme linear Dynamic Range (DR) CAOS camera. Experiments highlight accurate and repeatable CAOS camera-based testing of standard 8-bit (i.e., 48 dB DR) and modified DR 10-bit (i.e., 60 dB DR) computer Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs). Results are compared with CMOS camera and light meter-based LCD testing highlighting the robustness of the CAOS camera readings.
