CA-510 Display Color Analyzer
We developed the CA-510 to meet the increasing demands of modern display technologies. As OLED, micro-LED, and HDR displays advance, so do the requirements for accurate and efficient measurement. Building on our previous-generation analyzers, the CA-510 expands luminance and chromaticity ranges, improves low-luminance speed, and enhances waveform and flicker analysis. The CA-510 is suited to various measurement geometries, supporting both R&D and production. We optimized the CA-510 for applications requiring a compact measurement area and reliable low-luminance performance, making it well-suited for OLED and micro-LED evaluation.
Compact Probe for High-Precision Measurement
The CA-510 features a Ø10mm measurement area and a ±15° acceptance angle, optimized for capturing light from displays with wide angular emission characteristics. This configuration improves sensitivity in low-luminance regions, making the CA-510 well-suited for evaluating high-contrast OLED panels and dynamic drive systems.
Expanded Measurement Range
The CA-510 supports an accuracy-guaranteed luminance range of 0.0002 to 20,000 cd/m² and a chromaticity range of 0.002 to 20,000 cd/m². This expanded dynamic range enables reliable measurement across a broad range of brightness levels, from deep blacks to peak luminance.
Fast and Repeatable Low-Luminance Measurement
Measurement speed is critical in both R&D and production environments. The CA-510 achieves 1-second measurements at 0.0002 cd/m² in AUTO mode, reducing takt time and supporting efficient gamma adjustment and inspection workflows.
Advanced Flicker and Waveform Analysis
The CA-510 supports multiple flicker evaluation methods, including JEITA, VESA, FMA, and VRR-Flicker, the latter developed by Konica Minolta to address limitations in conventional FFT-based approaches. With a sampling frequency of up to 200 kHz, the CA-510 enables detailed waveform analysis, including color waveform output (XYZ), which is valuable for assessing emission timing and RGB element behavior.
Software Integration and Automation
The CA-510 is compatible with the CA-S40 Ver. 2.2 and CA-SDK2. These tools offer complete control over measurement functions, data visualization, and integration into automated systems. Features such as multi-channel calibration, residual light suppression, and customizable AUTO mode enhance measurement reliability and adaptability.
