Projectors

Brightness Measurement

The brightness of a projector is a crucial specification that can be categorized into white brightness and color brightness. These two aspects of brightness determine the image quality and color accuracy of the projected output. Konica Minolta has a wide range of light measurement instruments that facilitate projectors’ light source research and color inspection applications. Notably, the Illuminance Spectrophotometer CL-500A and Chroma Meter CL-200A provide accurate illumination measurements for establishing the projectors’ white and color brightness.

Appearance and Color

Color Specification, Control, and Verification, Including Colorfastness and Degradation Test

Consumer electronic products are available in a wide range of colors and shades, carefully selected to serve a purpose that goes beyond visual appeal. Achieving the desired color in consumer electronics requires meticulous color management encompassing color specification, control, and verification throughout the whole manufacturing process. Konica Minolta, a leading provider of color measurement solutions, offers a wide range of accurate and reliable spectrophotometers and colorimeters. Among these, the Spectrophotometer CM-5 and Spectrophotometer CM-700d are particularly helpful tools for manufacturers to objectively and consistently specify, communicate, control, and verify the color of their consumer electronic products.

Characterizing Metallic Colors

Metallic colors are gaining popularity in consumer electronic product design to elevate their look and aesthetic appeal. However, color specification, communication, control, and verification of metallic colors pose challenges due to their unique characteristic of angle-dependent color shifts. Precise measurement of metallic colors requires the use of specialized instruments like Konica Minolta Multi-Angle Spectrophotometer CM-M6. It is equipped with multiple sets of viewing angles, ranging from -15° to 110°, capable of capturing the color variation that occurs as the viewing angle changes.
