    Abstract: The present invention discloses a light source with uniform chromaticity and luminance and a color sensor having the same. The light source includes multiple LED devices, a primary light guide plate assembly and a secondary light guide plate assembly. The chromaticity and luminance of light emitted from the LED devices are uniformized for the first time in the primary light guide plate assembly and then guided into the secondary light guide plate assembly for the secondary chromaticity and luminance uniformization, to thereby act as the light source of the color sensor. Therefore, the light source not only provides better chromaticity and luminance uniformization effects, but is further qualified as the standard illuminant D65, thereby enabling more precise color sensor inspection results.

  • Publication number: 20120101782
    Abstract: The invention employs a group of LED devices as a light source for emitting light with different wavelengths towards the solar cell under test. A set of test signal data composed of mutually orthogonal test signals are used to power the LED devices to emit light. The solar cell, upon receiving light from the LED devices powered by the test signal data, generates detected values which are in turn converted into electric signals. A processor device is then used to separate component signals contributed by the respective LED devices from the signals and compare the component signals to the output power level corresponding to the test signal data and/or to the optical energy levels radiated from the respective LED devices, thereby obtaining the spectral response of the solar cell to the different wavelengths of light.

  • Publication number: 20110188036
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a monochromatic measurement system. The system mainly includes a monochromator, a light-detecting device and a filter device. The monochromator functions to split light under test into respective light beams with different wavelengths. The filter device modulates the transmission efficiency of the respective light beams, so that the wavelengths of the light beams to which the light-detecting device displays a better response have a lower transmission efficiency while the wavelengths of the light beams to which the light-detecting device displays a lower response have a higher transmission efficiency. The response values measured by the light-detecting device with respect to different wavelength intervals are normalized accordingly. The measurement errors attributed to the measurement precision of the instrument and the environmental noise are independent from the variation of wavelength. The reliability of the measurement instrument is elevated.
