Uniformity
Enables high-accuracy adjustment of EL/LED-backlit
LCD TV gamma/white balance to greatly improve efficiency.
White balance adjustment has advanced even further!
Our previous Display Color Analyzer CA-210 could adjust the white balance of LED-backlit LCD TVs to Δxy=0.010, but the
new Display Color Analyzer CA-310 enables adjustment to Δxy=0.003 so colors are even more true, as can be seen below.

Enables high-speed measurement of even extremely

low luminances down to 0.005 cd/m2
Sensor noise reduction technology has been used to enable measurements even in
the extremely low luminance region around 0.005 cd/m2 at speeds as fast as 4 times
per second. This allows the high-speed high-accuracy measurement essential for
manufacturing high-grade displays. In addition, at luminances higher than 2.0 cd/m2,
20 measurements per second are possible.

Reduces errors due to LED emission distribution variations to less than 1/3.
Variations in the emission distribution of LED backlights result in

individual differences of about 10nm in peak intensity wavelength.
If LED-backlit LCD TVs with such individual differences are 0.008
adjusted using conventional color analyzers, color differences of
close to 0.010 on the xy chromaticity diagram may occur. But the 0.006
