A leading global technology manufacturer needed to characterize and control the optical performance of small, multi-layer display components used in smartphones, tablets, automotive dashboards, and AR/VR headsets.
These components often contain embedded sensors and coatings—including Face ID modules, anti-reflective layers, and diffusers—that must deliver consistent color, clarity, and brightness across billions of devices.
Variations in material thickness, coating uniformity, or color could compromise sensor performance, affect display readability, and increase production costs.
- Trusted accuracy in both visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) color measurement.
- Proven performance in optical materials and display manufacturing.
- Preferred by global innovators including Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft for R&D and production quality control.
Benefits and Outcomes:
- Measures reflectance and transmittance color as well as spectral reflectance, spectral transmittance, and transmission haze—ideal for multilayer optical stacks.
- Wavelength range: 350 nm – 1050 nm, covering full CIE visible range plus NIR spectral performance.
- 5 nm optical resolution and reporting interval ensure precise, repeatable data for complex coatings and films.
- Three reflectance measurement areas accommodate diverse sample sizes.
- Exceptional inter-instrument agreement for global production consistency.
- Automated UV calibration and control improve accuracy in optical materials containing brighteners or UV-sensitive coatings.
- Large transmission compartment open on three sides supports easy placement of small to oversized parts.
- Includes EasyMatch QC for unified color data analysis, trend tracking, and cross-site standardization.
- Accurate near-infrared reflectance analysis (~950 nm) supports Face ID sensor calibration and embedded-sensor optimization.
- Improved display quality control through objective, traceable spectral data.
- Reduced development time by accelerating material qualification and global product alignment.
