CIE Tristimulus Filters Designed to Meet Unique Needs

Chroma Technology designs and manufactures customized filters to accommodate the detector’s response function and/or the light source’s spectral power distribution.

Every color measurement application faces its own challenges. For example, an application may require filters that match the Standard Observer functions or must accommodate customized functions.

Chroma Technology offers comprehensive customization options for its tristimulus filters, ensuring that the provided filters match the application’s specific light source or detector requirements.

These filters are compatible with common display types, including AMOLED, OLED, and QLED, and they can be calibrated for and measured on virtually any light-emitting display.

Accurate Filters

A colorimeter sees the light passing through tristimulus filters, which match the intended color-matching functions. Chroma Technology designs and manufactures several customized filters that can accommodate the response function of the detector in use and/or the spectral power distribution of a specific light source.

The company offers solutions for whether an application requires filters matching Standard Observer or Customized functions.

Accuracy in Filter Manufacturing

A lower f1' number corresponds to a more accurate match between the filter and the intended response function. Chroma Technology provides highly accurate filters matched to Customized functions, and the company will make any corrections required to achieve this.
