Part 2: Electro-optical measurement methods of LED backlight unit

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

measured at the centre point of the BLU become less than the range specified in IEC 61747-6.
As in Figure 2, luminance of LED backlights is affected by transient temperature behaviour of
LED output. It takes a certain time for LEDs until their junction temperature reach the steady
state. All measuring conditions shall be kept constant over the time range of recording.
Transient measurement of chromaticity should be carried out in the same manner as in the
above.

BLU shall be placed in the measurement arrangement and it shall be assured that all required
conditions are fulfilled.
After applying the initial electrical driving conditions (i.e. analogue input voltage(s) or digital
input signals) of the BLU and waiting during the warm-up time specified in 4.3 in order to
reach the steady state, the measurement of the electrical quantities of interest should be
started.
5.1.2 Current
The measurement of input current is performed under standard measuring conditions using
current meter shown in Figure 1.
5.1.3 Voltage
The measurement of input voltage is performed under standard measuring conditions using
voltage meter shown in Figure 1.
5.1.4 Power consumption
Basically, the measurement of power consumption should be carried out under the standard
measuring conditions in 4.1, using a power meter.

5.2 Optical measurement methods
5.2.1 Conditions
LED BLU to be measured should be placed in the measurement arrangement and it shall be
assured that all required conditions are fulfilled.
After applying the initial electrical driving conditions to the BLU and after waiting during the
warm-up time specified in 4.3 in order to reach the steady state, the measurement of the
optical quantities of interest shall be started.
Basically, the measurement of this standard should be carried out at various angles between
DUT and LMD. A polar coordinate system (θ,ϕ), with the zenith denoted by θ and the azimuth
denoted by ϕ should be considered (see Figure 3).

5.2.2 Luminance
The measurements should be carried out in the dark room under the standard measuring
conditions and for the design viewing directions.
a) Position the DUT.
b) Adjust the LMD to the specified viewing direction, according to angles θ and ϕ.
c) Supply the value of the input signals to the DUT. Then measure the DUT at position p to
i
obtain the luminance L (θ,ϕ). (In case of i = 0, the position implies the centre of the
vi
active area of the BLU.)
The LMD should be carefully checked before measurements, considering the following
checkpoints:
• sensitivity of the measured quantity to measuring light;
• errors caused by veiling glare and lens flare (i.e., stray light in optical system);
• timing of data-acquisition, low-pass filtering and aliasing-effects;
• linearity of detection and data-conversion.
NOTE CIE publication 69:1987 is available for reference of LMD evaluation procedures.
5.2.3 Luminance uniformity
Luminance uniformity, U, is a calculated value of how well the luminance remains constant
over the surface of the active area and it is a closely related to luminance measurement itself.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
62595-2 © IEC:2012 – 9 –
The luminance uniformity measurement is sensitive to testing positions. Typical layouts of
measurement points over the BLU surface are shown in Figure 4.
Luminance uniformity, U is calculated using one of the following four formulas which are
popularly used industry-wide.

Typical measurement procedures of luminance uniformity U are as follows. At first, specified
input current and voltage are supplied to the BLU to be measured. Secondly, luminance is
measured at each point of the BLU (5, 9, 13 or 25 points). Basically, this measurement is
carried out usually at normal angle, however, the other angles can be also considered for
certain purposes.

5.2.4 Spectral power distribution
A spectral power distribution S(λ) is measured using a spectrometer or an equivalent optical
instrument. The measuring procedures are basically in accordance with 5.2.2 and 5.2.3.
5.2.5 Chromaticity
CIE 1931 chromaticity coordinates (IEC 60050-845:1987,845-03-28), x, y, z on the BLU
surface of the active area are obtained using the tristimulus values, X, Y, Z calculated from
measured spectral power distribution S(λ) given in 5.2.4 (see IEC 62595-1-2). Basically, this
measurement is carried out usually at normal angle, however, the other angles can be also
considered for certain purposes.
5.2.6 Colour uniformity
Colour uniformity, Δu’v’ should be basically evaluated using CIE 1976 chromaticity(IEC
60050-845:1987,845-03-53) differences between the centre and the other points on the BLU
surface, using the following equation.

5.2.7 Correlated colour temperature
Correlated colour temperature (CCT) is defined in IEC 60050-845:1987,845-03-50. The
calculation method from the measured data based upon the chromaticity coordinates is based
on CIE 15:2004.

NOTE Robertson’s procedure is available for an actual computing program.
5.2.8 Angular luminance uniformity
Angular performance of the LED BLU directly affects the whole display performances. The
luminance values at angles at (0°, 0°), (θ, 0°), (θ, 90°), (θ, 180°) and (θ, 270°) in the polar
coordinate system defined in 5.2.1 should be measured as in Figure 5. Measurement at
additional angles should be carried out if necessary.
The above measurements should be carried out at each point of the BLU shown in Figure 4 in
order to obtain angular luminance uniformity.

Angular colour uniformity of BLU affects the whole display angular performance. The angles
can be selected in the same manner as the angular luminance uniformity given in 5.2.8. It
should be in accordance with 5.2.6 to obtain the chromaticity differences between the normal
angle and the other four angles.

5.2.10 Measurement methods of block-wise BLU
5.2.10.1 General
A block-wise BLU is used for LCD employing adaptive dimming technology. Each block must
be optimally controlled electrically and optically. A detail of the block segmentation is
determined depending upon the whole display design. The block-wise BLU should be
therefore measured block-by-block for the whole system employing the adaptive dimming
technology.
An example of block-wise checkerboard test pattern is shown in Figure 6.

IEC  1684/12
Figure 6 – Example of test pattern (8 × 10 segments) for block-wise BLU
5.2.10.2 Incoherent point spread function
When a single block turns on and the rest of the blocks turn off, incoherent point spread
function (I-PSF) is defined as a spatial luminance profile spreading outwards. An example of
I-PSF is shown in Figure 7. Based on I-PSF, image signals of LCD are controlled for
optimizing image quality.

IEC  1685/12
Figure 7 – Example of incoherent point spread function
In order to measure the I-PSF, a test pattern shown in Figure 8 should be used. The block of
the backlight unit for the measurement is turned on while all the other blocks are turned off.
The number of measurement points can be determined by manufacturers. Measurement point
size and field of view (FOV), which are determined by an aperture size of the LMD and
measurement distance from DUT to LMD, should be carefully selected. The measurement
point size should be same or smaller than the distance between measurement points, to avoid
overlap. The FOV of the LMD should be sufficiently smaller than the angle which is formed by
the minimum block of BLU and the measurement distance. All the measurement conditions
are followed by 5.2.2 (luminance measuring methods).
From a practical viewpoint, it is more convenient to use a single variable representing I-PSF
than I-PSF itself defined as a function consisting of continuously varying luminance values
(see A.1).

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------

IEC  1686/12
Figure 8 – Example of test pattern of incoherent point spread function
5.2.10.3 Block-by-block uniformity
The block-wise checkerboard test pattern shown in Figure 6 or a single white test pattern in
Figure 8 should be used in order to evaluate block-by-block uniformity of I-PSF. Luminance,
colour, and I-PSF uniformity should be evaluated block-by-block. The uniformity values can be
calculated using similar formula shown in 5.2.3. Instead of the measurement points shown in
Figure 4, the centre point of each block should be used in this measurement.
5.2.10.4 Crosstalk
Crosstalk is the amount of light leaking from an on-block to adjacent blocks. It should be
measured using the block-wise checkerboard pattern shown in Figure 6 or a test pattern
shown in Figure 9.

IEC  1687/12
Figure 9 – Example of test pattern of crosstalk
5.2.10.5 Optical signal-to-noise ratio
Optical signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio is the ratio of luminous caused by an optical leakage from
an adjacent block to that of the block by itself. It should be measured using the block-wise
checkerboard pattern shown in Figure 6.
