Display Test and Correction Ensures OLED Quality from Pixel to Panel
 
 

The visual quality of an OLED display is determined by the performance of every individual subpixel, but these emitters often vary in luminance and color. Poorly performing subpixels appear at multiple stages of production—from deposition to module assembly—thus a series of quality checks are required along the way.

The Solution: Subpixel Measurement and Correction

Radiant Vision Systems provides measurement and inspection solutions for OLEDs that ensure quality from the fabrication level to the panel/assembly level. Radiant’s ProMetric® Imaging Photometers and Colorimeters measure light and color of every subpixel with precision. Using an optional Microscope Lens, subpixels can be measured in extreme detail, as shown in the image below.

Once OLEDs are applied to their substrate, Radiant’s measurement systems can be used to evaluate luminance and color across the entire panel to measure uniformity and mura. Radiant’s "demura" method can also be applied to correct pixel and subpixel output and increase OLED panel yields.

A ProMetric imaging system and Microscope Lens are used to characterize subpixel layouts, shapes, and color patterns, achieving extreme detail for subpixel characterization and analysis.

OLED Pixel Structure
New displays rely on small, emissive components like LEDs and OLEDs to provide the high-resolution viewing experience that consumers have come to expect. To measure these increasingly tiny display pixels, Radiant's Microscope Lens provides the precision and resolution needed. Read More
 
 
 
 
What is demura? Demura (where "mura" is a uniformity defect of displays) is the process of correcting display nonuniformity by adjusting pixel-level output. Radiant imaging colorimeters and software calculate luminance and chromaticity discrepancies of each OLED subpixel, applying correction factors to produce displays with entirely uniform appearance at each color and brightness level.
