The CA-527 Display Color Analyzer delivers fast, reliable measurements with ultra-low luminance accuracy and expanded dynamic range, ideal for evaluating luminance and chromaticity in advanced OLED, LCD, and micro-LED display technologies.
The Konica Minolta CA-527 is our next generation Display Color Analyzer from Konica Minolta Sensing, offering reliability, faster measurements, and ultra-low luminance. Its expanded measurement dynamic range covers the range from ultra-low to high luminance, providing a broader range of measurement accuracy and repeatability than its predecessor. This feature meets the need for a more accurate evaluation of luminance and chromaticity in the latest display technologies.
The latest optical design used in the CA-527 enables significantly shorter low-luminance measurement times than the modes in the conventional Display Color Analyzer series. This can help solve issues related to improving takt time at the display production line and in high-definition display R&D.
The CA-527 can measure lower-luminance areas at a higher sampling rate than the conventional Display Color series models. This allows for accurate capture of display emission waveforms, which have become increasingly complex with recent technological trends in displays, such as OLED displays evolving toward even higher contrast ratios and the latest micro-LED displays employing the dynamic drive system.
The CA-527 provides a new flicker measurement function related to VRR, the latest index for flicker evaluation, and a high-performance flicker measurement function using the JEITA, VESA, and FMA methods provided by the conventional Display Color Analyzer series. With the industry’s best flicker measurement performance, the CA-527 sets a new standard while meeting the need for quality evaluation of the latest displays, pushing the boundaries in advanced video quality and power saving.
The CA-527 now supports the Stroboscopic Effect Visibility Measure (SVM), originally developed for illuminance applications and now gaining traction in display evaluation. SVM quantifies the visibility of stroboscopic effects caused by high-frequency light modulation, which can impact visual comfort and eye health.
With its high-speed waveform sampling (≥20 kHz) and extended sampling duration (≥1 second), the CA-527 is uniquely equipped to meet the stringent requirements for accurate SVM calculation. This feature makes the CA-527 ideal for evaluating displays that use high-frequency PWM driving, such as OLED and micro-LED panels.
Why SVM Matters:
- SVM ≥ 1.0 indicates that more than 50% of observers can perceive stroboscopic effects.
- Increasingly adopted by display manufacturers focused on eye safety and visual ergonomics.
- New flicker metrics in addition to JEITA, VESA, and VRR Flicker.
