Photo Research Unveils SpectraScan PR-1050 Spectroradiometer for High-Precision Light Measurements of AR/VR Displays

Photo Research, a brand under Novanta Corporation, has announced a new product: the Photo Research SpectraScan PR-1050 Spectroradiometer. This device is a type of light measurement tool used in many industries for applications that require highly precise light measurements. Applications ideal for this device range from OLED, LCD, MicroLED screens to AR/VR devices and automotive and aerospace displays. The device can also be utilized for calibrating laser projectors and testing display backlights.

FeatureBenefit
AR/VR lensThe device can be fitted with an AR/VR lens for measuring light from AR/VR target areas.
Dynamic RangeThe device boasts a 500,000,000:1 dynamic range, which allows for measuring light intensities from black to full white without needing external attenuation.
ApplicationsIt can be used with OLED, LCD, microLED screens, AR/VR devices, automotive & aerospace displays, for laser projector calibration and display backlight testing.
AR/VR testing Aperture DiametersIt has available aperture diameters of 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm for AR/VR testing.
Variable Spectral BandwidthThe device has a variable spectral bandwidth which enables spectral resolution for any display technology, from OLEDs to laser sources.
High-Speed Cycle TimesThe device has high-speed cycle times which reduce the total time required to test or calibrate display products.

In order to measure near-eye displays such as those used in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, the PR-1050 can be fitted with an AR/VR lens that attaches directly to the device, enabling the user to measure light from AR/VR target areas.
