CA-527 Display Color Analyzer
Click to Enlarge Thumbnails
The Konica Minolta CA-527 is our next generation Display Color Analyzer from Konica Minolta Sensing, offering reliability, faster measurements, and ultra-low luminance. Its expanded measurement dynamic range covers the range from ultra-low to high luminance, providing a broader range of measurement accuracy and repeatability than its predecessor. This feature meets the need for a more accurate evaluation of luminance and chromaticity in the latest display technologies.
The latest optical design used in the CA-527 enables significantly shorter low-luminance measurement times than the modes in the conventional Display Color Analyzer series. This can help solve issues related to improving takt time at the display production line and in high-definition display R&D.
The CA-527 can measure lower-luminance areas at a higher sampling rate than the conventional Display Color series models. This allows for accurate capture of display emission waveforms, which have become increasingly complex with recent technological trends in displays, such as OLED displays evolving toward even higher contrast ratios and the latest micro-LED displays employing the dynamic drive system.
The CA-527 provides a new flicker measurement function related to VRR, the latest index for flicker evaluation, and a high-performance flicker measurement function using the JEITA, VESA, and FMA methods provided by the conventional Display Color Analyzer series. With the industry’s best flicker measurement performance, the CA-527 sets a new standard while meeting the need for quality evaluation of the latest displays, pushing the boundaries in advanced video quality and power saving.

*1: Measured under Konica Minolta’s standard light source (6,500K).
*2: The luminance for monochrome is measured when reading of luminance for white is 100 cd/m2.
*3: Temperature 23°C/±2°C, relative humidity 40%±10%
*4: In NTSC synchronization mode using USB with one probe. Measured using a Konica Minolta-designated PC (with PC and probe directly connected, using the supplied measurement software).
*5: Reading fluctuation (compared to reference reading at 23°C, 40% RH): Luminance: ±2% for white; Chroma ticity (at 100 cd/m2): ±0.002 for white, ±0.003 for monochrome.
*6: “Flicker (CA-310 Mode)” and “XYZ (Wide Frequency Mode)” are mode names for PC Software CA-S40.
*7: Measured under Konica Minolta’s standard light source (constant light). If the luminance momentarily greatly exceeds the upper limit, such as with a PWM light source with a small duty cycle, luminances below the upper limit may be shown as too high.
* Unless otherwise specified, specifications are given for conditions established by Konica Minolta.
