Radiant Vision Systems, a leading provider of visual test and measurement solutions for light sources and displays, announces its new ProMetric® I-SC Solution for light and color measurement. Combining the functions of an enhanced ProMetric I Imaging Colorimeter from Radiant with a CAS 140D spectroradiometer from Imaging Systems GmbH on a single platform, the ProMetric I-SC Solution enables efficient measurement of both spectral data and image-based colorimetric data with complete data capture, analysis, output, and calibration functions controlled through a central software interface. More Headlines
In 2009, Radiant Vision Systems invented the first direct integration of a colorimetric imaging system with a spectrometer for acquiring two sets of data from the same light input (US Patent No. 8482652). At the time, this solution added capability to Radiant's Source Imaging Goniometer® (SIG) for highly accurate, three-dimensional light source modeling. Beyond the near-field measurement data provided by the SIG's internal ProMetric Imaging Colorimeter, spectral data (power vs. wavelength) could be acquired by the spectrometer for applications such as calculating a color rendering index (CRI). The invention used mirrors and fiber optic connectivity built into the imaging system to allow both systems to measure data from the same point and angle relative to the light source at the same time—near-field measurements (via the imaging system) and spectral data (via the spectrometer). The combination of imaging and spectral data is similarly useful for other light and color measurement applications—for instance, understanding the output of an illuminated display or elements within an augmented or virtual reality (AR, VR) headset. In these scenarios, if imaging systems and spectrometers are applied separately, manufacturers must source and purchase both systems and can only apply one system at a time for measurement, requiring multiple stations or processes. "In situations where spectral data and spatial measurement data are both needed for device qualification, Radiant can now offer our customers the utility of both capabilities in one system," states Doug Kreysar, CEO at Radiant Vision Systems. "As part of the Konica Minolta family of sensing businesses, Radiant is partnered with the world-leading expertise in spectrometers. This allows us to leverage spectrometer technology into our product line and innovate on our existing technology to provide a more capable measurement option for our customers. The new ProMetric I-SC Solution is a result of this partnership and innovation. With the ProMetric I-SC, Radiant provides a single measurement solution for spectral data capture, calibration, and imaging colorimetry." Using Radiant's patented technology, the ProMetric I-SC applies a polarization-insensitive mirror to enable direct integration of a ProMetric I Imaging Colorimeter and a CAS 140D spectroradiometer. This integrated solution captures two pieces of a complete measurement at once: the CAS 140D measures highly accurate correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI) while Radiant's high-resolution ProMetric I61 (61-megapixel) Imaging Colorimeter measures precise luminance (cd/m2) and chromaticity (CIE xy or u'v') data for all points in an image—including regions as small as a display subpixel. Because all components of the measurement system are designed together, there is no need to purchase multiple pieces of equipment or learn separate platforms to implement a complete solution. All data is captured at once with the convenience of one system, eliminating system repositioning, movement, downtime, and risk of error during manual system alignment or data transfer. "The ProMetric I-SC leverages advantages of Radiant's ProMetric I Imaging Colorimeter," explains Kreysar. "For example, we can apply the solution with Radiant's AR/VR Lens, which not only captures full-field-of-view measurement images within headsets but now places the spectral measurement point inside the headset via the imaging system's optics. Manufacturers can easily measure spectral and spatial data, monitor spectral output, and directly apply data for color calibration if needed, without moving the measurement system from the intended near-eye position. Imaging also enables visualization of the spectral measurement point and field of view in physical space (x,y coordinates or angular degrees within the context of AR/VR headsets). This point is indicated in the software interface as a circle or rectangle on the measurement image." Through direct integration, the ProMetric I-SC also facilitates calibration of the connected imaging colorimeter for measuring new devices or device states (i.e., a different color on a display or backlit component). A calibration function can be initiated as needed to capture and apply spectral data from the spectrometer to align the imaging colorimeter's response to standard CIE color-matching functions for highly accurate, repeatable measurement of a source. This calibration function can be run on demand or programmed to run with each measurement as part of a fully automated visual inspection routine in TrueTest™ Software. From the TrueTest interface, users can control functions of both spectrometer and imaging colorimeter, initiate calibrations, view the spectral measurement point, and apply a comprehensive library of analyses for test and measurement. Users can also use TrueTest to view data captured by the integrated spectrometer as chromaticity coordinates in the CIE 1931 color space and as a spectral plot. The ProMetric I-SC Solution debuts this week at the Display Week exhibit, taking place May 10-12 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. From Radiant's booth (#1307) visitors can see live demonstrations of the solution measuring display devices based on LCD, OLED, and e-paper technologies.

Radiant Unveils New Display Metrology Solutions at the Live Display Week 2022 Exhibition

The new XRE Lens provides a flexible in-headset measurement solution for AR, VR, and MR display testing—featuring electronic focus and folded ("periscope") optical design to achieve the pupil position in a range of devices and address unique visual inspection requirements. Radiant Vision Systems, a leading provider of visual test and measurement solutions for light sources and displays, announces the release of its new XRE Lens for near-eye display testing of extended reality (XR) headsets and smart glasses. Utilizing patent-pending technology that features electronic focus and configuration options, the XRE Lens offers flexibility for evaluating visual elements as they are seen through the headset, simplifying the task of deploying measurement for a diverse array of AR, VR, and MR devices. The lens pairs with high-resolution ProMetric® imaging colorimeters and photometers and TT-ARVR™ Software to provide a complete automated visual inspection solution for XR display testing in R&D and production.

In 2018, Radiant transformed XR display testing with the release of its award-winning AR/VR Lens—the first commercially available imaging metrology solution to feature a lens design with optical entrance pupil (aperture) at the front. This design allows the test system to be positioned within a headset to replicate the near-eye pupil position of the human eye. Applying wide-field-of-view (WFOV) optics, the AR/VR Lens solution is able to image the entire immersive display field of view (FOV) to evaluate all visual qualities as viewed from the user's perspective. "Fundamentally, replicating the human visual experience has continued to drive the optical design of XR test systems," states Eric Eisenberg, Optics Development Manager at Radiant. "But the diversity of XR devices and their measurement requirements continue to expand. New display types, FOVs, resolutions, focal distances, form factors, and unique combinations of these elements can't be addressed universally with a single optical solution. Many manufacturers opt for custom measurement/optical solutions, which carry a significant time and cost burden, and which are not easy to deploy. With the release of Radiant's new XRE Lens, we can begin to address the diversity in XR optical designs and reduce the need for costly custom measurement equipment design cycles. The XRE Lens solution provides manufacturers with several specification options and flexible features to meet unique measurement parameters." The XRE Lens is the first imaging metrology solution to offer electronic focus for in-headset XR display testing. Electronic focus allows precise focal distances to be set and adjusted remotely via software to measure multiple or variable focal planes. Electronic focus also enables automated focus changes as part of fully automated visual inspection routines, optimizing testing efficiency and supporting advanced analysis. "Electronic focus is a huge advantage for XR testing," states Eisenberg. "Analyses like through-focus MTF [modulation transfer function] are simply impossible with traditional manual lenses. This analysis requires the system to iterate through a series of focus distances to find best focus for multiple regions across a display. A complete analysis could require thirty or more focus adjustments. Using a manual lens, these settings are imprecise and time-consuming—potentially taking hours for a complete analysis with little confidence is the accuracy of the result. With electronic focus, a through-focus MTF analysis can be fully automated to provide results in a matter of seconds." To provide additional flexibility, the XRE Lens is available in two configurations—folded or non-folded—to achieve the appropriate near-eye measurement position within different headset form factors. The folded ("periscope") geometry can be applied to measure devices with head straps or other headgear that prevent a linear path to the near-eye measurement position. A folded configuration also supports dual-eye (stereoscopic) measurement, where two XRE Lens systems are positioned inside the headset at once to capture simultaneous measurements of left- and right-eye positions. Both folded and non-folded lens configurations pair with either the ProMetric Y Imaging Photometer for luminance-only measurement or the ProMetric I Imaging Colorimeter for measuring values of luminance and chromaticity. Manufacturers can choose from 29-, 45-, and 61-megapixel resolution options to maximize imaging precision over the solution's ±35° (70° total) field of view. A live product demonstration of the XRE Lens will be available at Radiant's booth (#1307) at the upcoming live Display Week exhibit, May 10-12 at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. Prospective attendees are invited to apply Radiant's guest code 8KstwXvP for complimentary registration to the exhibit.

Radiant Vision Systems Announces New XRE Lens Solution with Electronic Focus for Near-Eye Display Testing

Radiant Vision Systems announces its 30th anniversary as a leading provider of optical test and measurement solutions for displays and light sources. In celebration of this milestone, Radiant looks back on three decades of innovation by showcasing its founders, timeline, and employee stories on a dedicated page of its website. Throughout the year, Radiant will continue to add photos and stories to this page in an ongoing commemoration of its corporate history from 1992 to 2022. More Headlines
Founded in 1992 in California as Radiant Imaging, Inc., Radiant was the realization of Ron Rykowski and Steve Wilson's endeavor to invent faster and more capable light measurement solutions to improve the visual performance of light-emitting devices (light sources, projectors, and displays). Having a background in optical instruments, these two engineers began by developing their own ray-tracing software and offering light source characterization services to manufacturers who needed more comprehensive and efficient data for light source modeling. Early on, the team realized that existing methods for photometric measurement—spot meters, which measure light at specific points across a light source distribution—were falling short of quality goals and missing defects between measurement points. The team reasoned that by applying cameras for imaging, they could capture and measure photometric values for the complete area of a distribution as well as detect any visible defects. "Taming a CCD camera to give us useful, calibrated data was quite a task," recalls Radiant co-founder Steve Wilson, "but we accomplished the job. Now we had a tool to give us feedback for optical system design. So, ProMetric® was born. " Radiant's ProMetric line of cameras began as a component of the solution that Rykowski and Wilson developed to provide light source measurement services. As customers recognized these cameras' efficiency for lab measurement and on-site display calibration, Radiant began manufacturing and selling ProMetric cameras directly. The company has continued to optimize photometric imaging systems to supply faster, higher-resolution, and higher-performance vision inspection solutions to capture photometric data for light source and display measurement—and extend this capability to surface and appearance inspection. Today, Radiant's ProMetric Imaging Colorimeters and Photometers are applied in labs and production lines worldwide, testing millions of devices each year in consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, medical, and other industries. "Radiant continues to build on the foundation that Ron and Steve established," states Doug Kreysar, current CEO of Radiant Vision Systems, "—develop faster and more capable solutions for light and color measurement. Imaging remains at the center of this development, where our ProMetric imaging systems enable customers to capture highly accurate photometric data at speeds much faster alternative systems. By applying photometric imaging in automated visual inspection systems, Radiant has enabled manufacturers to reach quality and throughput goals that were impossible 30 years ago. This has directly contributed to market growth in several industries and has made new technologies like OLED, microLED, and others viable for commercial products." "However, Radiant's legacy is more than just our technology development," Kreysar continues. "Since the very first projects that Ron and Steve took on in the early 1980s, I believe the most important thing we've carried forward is a spirit of innovation. We are always looking ahead for the next challenge to solve. We look at our customers' design and manufacturing challenges as an opportunity to make something better, and we drive development around each challenge. This yields unique software and optical solutions that have diversified our portfolio and allow us to meet more specific needs. I'm proud to say that a hallmark of Radiant's legacy has been how passionate we are about what we do." Over 30 years, Radiant Vision Systems has grown from a team of two engineers in 1992 to over 200 employees worldwide today. Radiant has direct offices in the U.S.A. (headquarters: Redmond, Washington; Cupertino, California; Novi, Michigan), China (Shanghai, Shenzhen, Suzhou), South Korea (Seongnam), and Vietnam (Haiphong). Acquired by Konica Minolta in 2015, Radiant operates within the Konica Minolta Sensing Business Unit of companies, many of which sell and support Radiant products in other areas of the globe. Radiant's history includes the first application of imaging for photometric measurement, the invention of the Radiant Source Model™ (RSM) file format, and the Source Imaging Goniometer® (SIG) for angular characterization of light output for light source modeling and design.
