To compete with the superior contrast ratio performance of OLED display screens, LCD makers have developed the technique of local dimming, which allows different regions of a backlight to be controlled independently. The introduction of miniLEDs for LCD backlights, especially in full-array configuration, is boosting the performance of LCD televisions and display screens.

The ultimate measure of display's performance is how it appears to a human viewer. While all of the typical electronic display metrics—ppi, refresh rate, luminance, pixel pitch, etc.—are informative, being able to measure and grade display defects using the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) method is key for display manufacturers to ensure quality.

MicroLED displays offer superior performance for brightness, contrast, and energy efficiency compared to OLED or other existing display types, but so far production challenges have held them back from mass commercialization. Manufacturers are rapidly closing the gap, however, and microLED display products could be coming to the general consumer market soon. We look at microLED technology and ways to overcome quality challenges.

The development of medical imaging technologies—such as X-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound, and PET—has revolutionized healthcare. To view images accurately, display screens used by radiologists, surgeons, and other clinicians must provide higher performance than commercial-grade screens. Learn about medical-grade display requirement and quality assurance solutions.

Ever since Princess Leia's holographic emergence in 1977, developers have been trying to create 3D volumetric holograms like those in Star Wars and other science fiction movies. Many of what we call "holograms" today appear three-dimensional, but are actually just images projected onto a flat screen—technically still 2D. But new developments are making 3D holograms that you can view from every angle a reality.

The invention of the electric light bulb changed the world, enabling human activity to continue 24 hours a day in all ambient conditions. Today, the lighting design industry is adopting Human Centered Lighting approaches, and considering ergonomics, health and safety, aesthetics, and more. For lighting designers, measuring luminance and color temperature are key to meeting the needs of any environment to optimize human productivity and well being. Learn about tools to capture photometric data and generate IES and EULUMDAT (LDT) files for use with most optical design software packages.

As the display industry is increasing the pixel density of display screens, there is a growing need for precise, high-resolution measurement methods to ensure quality of these displays. Modern imaging systems need to have more measurement pixels (sensor pixels) to increase resolution and capture enough detail to detect defects. Sensor resolution alone isn't all that matters, however, pixel size (well depth) and image noise are just as important for accurate display metrology.

Gestures are a natural and intuitive part of human communication and expression. Thus, being able to use gestures to communicate with devices in our environment has been a goal for technology developers for decades, but it's a complex process. The latest generation of gesture sensing systems include applications in the automotive, medical and consumer spheres, often using three-dimensional / depth sensing based on near-infrared (NIR) light.
