Overview
IEC 63181-2:2020 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that specifies measuring methods for LCD multi-screen display terminals. This document is crucial for manufacturers, quality control professionals, and system integrators involved in the design, production, and evaluation of multi-screen LCD display setups. The standard establishes precise methodologies for assessing the mechanical and optical integrity of LCD splicing screens, ensuring consistent performance and user experience.
Key Topics
The standard defines detailed measurement methods across several important aspects of LCD multi-screen display terminals:
Gap Measurement (Physical and Optical):
- Physical gap refers to the actual measurable space between adjacent LCD units’ edges, assessed using feeler gauges.
- Optical gap is the space between the active display areas of adjacent LCD units, measured with callipers under a full white screen condition.
Splicing Deviation:
- This measures the pixel-level displacement between active areas of adjacent LCD units to determine the accuracy of image alignment across the multi-screen terminal.
- Testing involves input of custom test signals (graduation and circle) and analysis of display continuity.
Installation Deviation:
- Evaluates the flatness of multi-screen display terminal surfaces in both vertical and horizontal directions, ensuring a smooth and even terminal interface.
Luminance Uniformity:
- Measures the consistency of brightness across adjacent LCD units to ensure uniform display output without noticeable variation.
- Uses specific luminance measurement points and calculations to assess uniformity.
Chromatic Uniformity:
- Assesses color consistency between adjacent LCD units, critical for visual quality in video walls and multi-screen displays.
- Measurement focuses on center points and edge-centre points of adjacent units.
Standard Environmental Conditions:
- All measurements are conducted under controlled settings: temperature around 25 ± 3 °C, relative humidity between 25% and 85%, atmospheric pressure 86-106 kPa, and ambient illuminance ≤ 1 lx.
Measurement Distances:
- The standard recommends two options for measurement: non-contact distance set at three times the height of a single LCD unit, or direct-contact measurement.
Applications
IEC 63181-2:2020 plays an essential role in the following areas:
- Manufacturing Quality Control: Ensuring consistency in LCD multi-screen terminal assembly with precise splicing accuracy and proper installation.
- Display Wall Assembly: Assisting integrators in configuring multi-screen LCD setups with minimal splicing deviation and high luminance/chromatic uniformity.
- Performance Evaluation: Providing standardized testing methods for manufacturers and customers to evaluate splicing precision and optical-electrical performance.
- Product Development: Guiding engineers in designing multi-screen displays with improved physical and optical alignment, contributing to enhanced user experience in digital signage, command centers, and multimedia installations.
By applying these standardized measuring methods, stakeholders can ensure that LCD multi-screen display terminals meet rigorous quality criteria and operate optimally in diverse environments.

4.2 Optical measuring distance
Two measurement distance options are provided to perform the measurement:
– Option 1 (recommended): non-contact measurement
In this option, the measurement distance shall be set to 3 times the height of a single LCD
unit; the measurement device shall be perpendicular to the test point(s) during the entire
measurement.
– Option 2: contact measurement
In this option, there is no measurement distance between the LCD units and the
measurement device, which means that the measurement device is in direct contact with
the surface of the LCD units at the test point(s) during the entire measurement.
