Craic Technologies has launched the 308 FPD, a spectrophotometer designed to analyse the colour and relative intensity of individual pixels of even microdisplays.
The system attaches to a probe station or microscope to enable users to obtain colour data and relative intensity comparisons for flat-panel displays of all types.
Also able to measure spectra on the micron scale, the 308 FPD can map the variations due to mura, perform pixel-to-pixel comparisons and map spectral variations within a single pixel.
With addition of Craic Technologies' QDI Filmpro software, the 308 FPD can also measure thin film and cell gap thickness.
This provides display makers with the ability to optimise and improve their flat-panel display manufacturing process with a multi-faceted test solution.
The 308 FPD solution combines Craic's Lightblades spectrophotometers with optics and software to enable the user to measure spectra, colourimetry, light intensity and film thickness on the micron scale.
As the smallest pixels are now on the order of 10um across, the 308 FPD provides the ability to measure the colour and intensity of the entire display, as well as comparing pixels to pixels and mapping out the changes within a single pixel.
Designed for the production environment, it can incorporate automated measurement capabilities, touch-screen controls, easily modified processing recipes and data-analysis tools.
