Abstract

A multi-point calibration method is provided for an imaging light and color measurement device. A light emitting surface with a plurality of light emitting areas is provided. The luminance or color of each light emitting area of the light emitting surface at a specific angle is measured using a spot measurement instrument. By aligning the spot measurement instrument with one of the light emitting areas at a time, the luminance or color of the light emitting areas of the light emitting surface is measured. A measurement of the light emitting surface is made with the imaging light and color measurement device. A matrix of correction factors is calculated to correct the areas as measured by the imaging light and color measurement device to be equivalent to those measured by the spot photometer. While a display device is measured by the imaging light and color measurement device, the measured luminance or color values thereof are corrected by the screen gain correction matrix.
