Luminance Colorimeter BM-7AC

It was realized in about 0.5 seconds quantitative evaluation that is for luminance, chromaticity, correlated color temperature, etc.
in mass production line.

Outline

It is the latest model of the long-selling product BM-7 series which we are used as a standard measuring instrument for luminance/chromaticity measurement of FPD (Flat Panel Display) and various light source lamp.
This product archives high chromaticity accuracy and high speed, and it is suitable for brightness management of light source, in-line measurement and so on in the light source color measurement field.
Moreover, it provides more stable measurement by direct color correction function from other instruments made by our company.

Features

■ High-speed (0.5sec) measurement and high accuracy (±2%) measurement.
■ It is easy to adjust the instrumental error with two compensates function.
■ Available in analog voltage output (option) named BM-7AC-ANA for measuring response.
It can collect a data by connecting with Oscilloscope.

Principal use

■ Optical property evaluation for flat panel displays, luminance / chromaticity / color temperature measurement for lamps and other light sources.
