Part 6-2: Measuring methods of visual quality and ambient performance
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. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62341-6-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 110: Electronic display devices. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 110/338/FDIS 110/353/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. A list of all parts of the IEC 62341 series, published under the general title Organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays, can be found on the IEC website. SIST EN 62341-6-2:2012

At this date, the publication will be • reconfirmed, • withdrawn, • replaced by a revised edition, or • amended.

When different environmental conditions are used, they shall be noted in the visual inspection or ambient performance report. SIST EN 62341-6-2:2012
– 10 – 62341-6-2 © IEC:2012 5.2 Standard lighting conditions 5.2.1 Dark-room conditions The luminance contribution from the background illumination reflected off the test display shall be ≤ 0,01 cd/m2 or less than 1/20 the display’s black state luminance, whichever is lower. If these conditions are not satisfied, then background subtraction is required and it shall be noted in the ambient performance report. In addition, if the sensitivity of the LMD is inadequate to measure at these low levels, then the lower limit of the LMD shall be noted in the ambient performance report. NOTE Unless stated otherwise, the standard lighting conditions shall be the dark-room conditions. 5.2.2 Ambient illumination conditions 5.2.2.1 Ambient illumination conditions for visual inspection Ambient lighting conditions have a strong impact on the ability of the inspector to resolve defects and large variations of light intensity in the visual field can lead to inspector fatigue and a resulting loss of sensitivity to defects. Refer to ISO 9241-310 for general guidance on optimal illumination conditions for visual inspection of pixel defects [1]1. For inspector comfort and consistency of inspection conditions an average ambient illuminance of between 50 lx and 150 lx is suggested in the inspector’s work area. This ambient illuminance may be measured, for example, with an illuminance meter facing directly upward in a horizontal plane at the approximate eye level of the inspector. Care shall be taken to use diffuse illumination, and diffuse textures in the inspection environment, to avoid glare in the visual field of the inspector. As shown in Figure 1, the display under test shall be placed to avoid direct illumination from ambient room light sources. In addition, dark light-absorbing materials shall be used to cover specular surfaces that may be viewed by the inspector in direct reflection from the display surface. In any case, to limit degradation of the display contrast from ambient light, the ambient illuminance incident from room light sources on the display surface measured with the display off shall be < 20 lx. If ambient illuminance at the display surface is [ 20 lx, it shall be noted in the visual inspection report.
