Laser displays – Part 5-5: Optical measuring methods of raster-scanning retina direct projection laser displays
IEC 62906-5-5:2022 specifies the standard measurement conditions and optical measuring methods for raster-scanning retina direct projection laser displays with light sources such as direct-emitting lasers, optionally equipped with higher-order harmonic generation devices. The hybrid light sources using both lasers and spontaneous-emission-based light sources are not considered.
