Measuring Instruments

Spectroradiometer CS-2000

NEW

High precision spectral radiance/chromaticity measurement possible from 0.003 cd/m²

Introduction

World's top level capability to analyze extremely low luminance

* As a polychrometer type spectroradiometer

Many recent FPD models are designed for better black level representation or better contrast in order to provide higher quality images. The CS-2000 is a spectroradiometer which enables accurate luminance/chromaticity measurement even of blacks (from a low luminance of 0.003 cd/m2).

Features

Reliable low-luminance measurement

Konica Minolta's accumulated optical technologies and state-of-the-art signal processing technologies are combined to achieve a 100,000 : 1 contrast measurement*¹ using a spectral-type spectroradiometer.

Low-luminance measurement: From 0.003 cd/m² (Measuring angle: 1°)
Measurement accuracy: ±2% (Luminance)

*1 When the peak luminance is 300 cd/m²

Shorter measurement time

Fast measurement with good repeatability is possible even at low luminance levels.

Measurement time: Approx. 4 sec. (NORMAL mode: 4 cd/m²; FAST mode: 0.5 cd/m²)

Easy operation with a color LCD screen and simple key arrangement

Selecting the best-suited measuring angle enables measurements of various objects.

The selectable measuring angle enables a single machine to measure large to small diameters.

Measuring angle: 1°, 0.2°, 0.1°
Minimum measuring area: Ø 0.1 mm (when a close-up lens is attached)

--1° is suitable for

Typical targets such as middle- and large-size display units

--0.2° is suitable for

Small light sources such as an LED

--0.1° is suitable for

Extremely small light sources or distant light

  • LCD, PDP, or EL display panels
  • LCD panels for cellular phones and digital cameras
  • Radar and other instrument panels used in airplane cockpits
  • Large outdoor display screens
  • Car audio systems
  • Instrument panels for automobiles
  • Lamps, fluorescent tube backlight, and other light sources
  • PDP or LCD pixels
  • Cold-cathode tubes
  • Brake lamps of automobiles
  • Traffic signals
