This is a new color gamut evaluation method called Gamut Rings for displays. If you're wondering what Gamut Rings are, why not join this seminar? It will be a great opportunity for you to learn about a new color gamut evaluation. The speaker will be Koichiro Kakinuma, a former Sony engineer who has been engaged in the field of color for many years. ■ It's free. Scheduled for November 27, 2024, from 13:30 to 14:30. Organized by Hodaka Electronics Co., Ltd. Co-organized by Aphrodite Co., Ltd. ▼ What is the Gamut Rings method? The Gamut Rings method, proposed and put into practical use by Dr. Masaoka from NHK, is a means to measure the color reproduction range of displays. This is a completely new and groundbreaking method that visualizes a three-dimensional color gamut, including brightness that could not be expressed conventionally, in two dimensions (see attached materials). It has been internationally standardized by organizations such as IEC, ICDM, and CIE. In this presentation, we will explain the basic principles of the Gamut Rings method and provide an overview of the product GR-55, as well as introduce the immediate conversion to xy chromaticity diagrams, xyY color space, and L*a*b* color space that have been used traditionally.

An article about new product information was published in the Electronic Device Industry News on July 11, 2024.

Displays continue to evolve towards higher definition and higher quality. This time, we will introduce a new spatial resolution evaluation (MTF evaluation) specifically for displays, which accurately assesses one of the important indicators of image quality: clarity level. This evaluation method adopts the newly developed Line-based method, which is set to be standardized by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), allowing for easy quantitative evaluation of spatial resolution (spatial resolution assessment) for various displays, display devices, and materials/components using a cost-effective system. This seminar will introduce the latest trends in the industry regarding MTF measurement devices that quantify the beauty and clarity of displays as perceived by the human eye. ■ Event Overview ■ Date: November 17, 2023 (Friday) 13:30–14:30 (tentative) Venue: Online Seminar (Zoom) Speaker: Koichiro Kakinuma, Advisor at Aphrodite Inc.

On August 24, Nippon Chemical Coatings and Aphrodite held the first seminar of the WEB seminar series titled "Trends in Cutting-Edge Display Measurement Technology and Development of Anti-Glare Coatings." This seminar, consisting of a total of three sessions, aims to explain the current state of display development and measurement methods for quality evaluation. The first session introduced methods for quantifying glare in displays. Approximately 70 participants, including material manufacturers, converters, and home appliance manufacturers, attended the event. In the first part, Shuichi Shima, president of Aphrodite, which specializes in the sale and technical support of display measurement equipment, took the stage. He discussed the principles behind "glare" in displays, evaluation methods, and the effectiveness of these evaluations. He prefaced the causes of glare by stating, "It occurs due to pixels of different brightness, resulting in visual differences," and explained the mechanism by saying, "As resolution increases, the pitch between RGB pixels has become finer, causing adjacent pixels (colors) to be picked up." In December 2019, the JIS standard for "Measuring the Degree of Glare in Displays" was established. He introduced the processes and evaluation methods for measuring glare. The second session will be held on October 20, focusing on the theme "Measurement Methods for Resolution and Sharpness (White Blurriness) of Latest Displays."

- Overview The surface reflection characteristics that affect the visibility of displays are one of the important factors. This system is a glare evaluation system specifically designed for displays, utilizing a unique optical system. - Effect It can digitize the surface characteristics of the display and the level of reflections. - Measurement Content Using the line light source mounted on the SMS-1000 main unit, the reflection characteristics of the display surface can be easily and accurately measured. The detector is not goniometric; instead, it can easily determine the reflection diffusion distribution while in a fixed state. It can calculate the reflection haze and clarity. For more details, please contact us.

Displays continue to evolve towards more beautiful and realistic images. Therefore, the evaluation of "image blur," which is a measure of display sharpness, will become an increasingly important parameter in the future.
