The present invention relates to a calibration system, a calibration device, and a program used for calibrating a stimulus-type colorimeter including at least three color channels.

The color apparatus has a measurement error due to a difference between the spectral response of the colorimeter formed by the spectral characteristics of the optical filter or the sensor and the target spectral response such as a color matching function.

Therefore, by using the information on the spectral responsivity of the color measuring device and the spectral radiation characteristic of the measurement target, a coefficient for correcting the measured value as shown in the following formula (1) is calculated, and the measured value is calculated by the correction coefficient. A correction technique is known (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).
P * S * CM1 = P * CMF (1)
In the above formula (1), P is a matrix that is the individual spectral values of the emission spectrum of the target light source, S is a matrix that is the individual spectral values of the spectral sensitivity of the filter of the measuring instrument, and CMF is the standard defined by CIE1931. A matrix that is each spectrum value of the spectrum evaluation function of, CM1 represents a calibration matrix (correction coefficient).

That is, as shown in FIG. 15, in a factory or the like, the spectral radiation characteristic (spectral data) of the measurement target is measured by a color measurement device (also referred to as a spectrophotometer) by a spectrocolorimetry method, and the stimulation value type The spectral responsivity of the color measuring device (also referred to as a filter measuring device) is measured in advance. Then, the correction coefficient CM1 is calculated from the spectral responsivity of the filter measuring instrument and the spectral radiation characteristic of the measurement object, and the actual measurement value of the filter measuring instrument is corrected by the correction coefficient to obtain a correct measurement value.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a calibration system according to an embodiment of the present invention. This calibration system includes a first color measurement device 2 that measures an object to be measured 1, and a calibration device 3 that receives measurement data from the first color measurement device 2 and calibrates the first color measurement device 2. And a database server 4.

In this embodiment, a display panel such as a liquid crystal is exemplified as the measurement object 1, but the measurement object 1 is not limited to the display panel.

The first color measurement device 2 is a stimulus value type color measurement device that receives light whose wavelength is selected by an optical filter or the like with a sensor and uses a stimulus value according to the light intensity as a measurement value. Contains color channels. That is, it has three or more filters having different spectral transmissibility and three or more sensors for converting the light received through the filters into the corresponding measurement signals. Hereinafter, the first color measuring device is also referred to as a filter measuring device.

The calibration device 3 is composed of a personal computer, and includes a CPU 31, a RAM 32, a non-volatile memory 33 such as a hard disk, and a functional unit including a measurement unit 34, a determination unit 35, a calibration unit 36, and a communication unit 37.

The CPU 31 centrally controls the entire calibration device 3, and the RAM 32 provides a work area when the CPU 31 operates according to an operation program stored in the nonvolatile memory 33 or the like.

The non-volatile memory 33 stores the operation program of the CPU 31 and various data. As an example of various data, measurement data that is raw data (raw data) of the object to be measured acquired from the filter measuring device 2, filter measuring device ID that is identification information for specifying the filter measuring device 2, There is a spectral responsivity of the filter measuring device 2.

The measuring unit 34 acquires the measurement data from the filter measuring device 2, and also acquires the filter measuring device ID and the spectral responsivity. The acquired measurement data, filter measuring device ID, and spectral responsivity are stored in the nonvolatile memory 33 as described above. In addition, a measurement object ID (also referred to as a display type) for identifying the measurement object 1 to be measured is also acquired. The measurement object ID is acquired based on, for example, user input. The filter measuring instrument ID and the like may also be acquired based on the user input.

In order to perform highly accurate calibration, the discriminating unit 35 selects the optimum combination of the filter measuring device 2 used for the actual measurement and the measurement object 1 from the combination information stored in the database server 4. Although it is determined, this point will be described later.

The calibration unit 36 calibrates the filter measuring device 2 by using the spectral radiation characteristics of the measurement object 1 included in the optimum combination determined by the discrimination unit 35.

The communication unit 37 is a communication interface for connecting the calibration device 3 to the database server 4 and the filter measuring device 2 via the network 5.

The database server 4 is composed of a personal computer or the like, has a storage unit 41, and holds a plurality of combination information for performing calibration of the filter measuring instrument 2 as a combination table in the storage unit 41.

The combination table will be described in detail. As described above, the filter measuring instrument 2 has a measurement error due to the difference between the spectral responsivity and the target spectral responsivity such as the color matching function. It is desirable to calibrate the filter measuring instrument 2 by calculating the correction count and correcting the measured value by using the information on the spectral response rate and the spectral radiation characteristic of the object 1 to be measured.

However, there are correction coefficients for each of a plurality of combinations consisting of the spectral radiation characteristics of the object 1 to be measured, the filter measuring instrument 2, and various parameters that cause errors. Therefore, in order to calculate an appropriate correction coefficient and perform highly accurate calibration, it is necessary to select an optimum combination from a plurality of combinations. Moreover, if the spectral radiation characteristic of the measuring object 1 is measured each time and the correction coefficient is calculated from the measurement result, the spectral radiation characteristic etc. must be measured every time the measuring object 1 is changed. However, it is inefficient and takes time for calibration work.

Therefore, in this embodiment, a plurality of filter measuring devices 2 of different types, a plurality of measurement objects 1 of different types, and a second color measuring device (hereinafter, also referred to as a spectroscopic measuring device) 5 by a spectrocolorimetric method are provided. In combination, the spectral radiation characteristic of the measuring object 1 is measured in advance by the spectroscopic measurement device 5. In addition, the spectral response of the filter measuring device 2 is also measured.

As described above, the measurement object 1 and the filter measuring instrument 2 are given a measurement object ID (display type) and a filter measuring instrument ID for identifying them, but in this embodiment, as a desirable embodiment. , The spectroscopic measuring instrument 5 is also given a spectroscopic measuring instrument ID. Then, the obtained spectral radiation characteristic, the ID of the spectroscopic measuring instrument 5 that measured the spectral radiation characteristic, the ID of the filter measuring instrument 2, and the ID of the measuring object 1 are associated with each other and stored in the database server 4 as a combination table. It is stored in the section 41 and saved.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a combination table stored and saved in the database server 4. In this combination table, the filter measuring device ID, the measurement target ID (Display Type), the spectroscopic measuring device ID, and the spectral radiation characteristic are stored in association with each other. Although not shown, the spectral responsivity of each filter measuring instrument 2 may be defined in this table in association with the filter measuring instrument ID, the measurement object ID, the spectroscopic measuring instrument ID, etc. It may be stored in the container 2 itself.

Using this combination table, the calibration device 3 inputs the ID of the filter measuring device 2 used for actual measurement and the ID of the measurement object 1 from the combination information of the combination table. It is possible to determine a combination including the filter measuring device ID and the measurement target object ID as the optimum combination, and to specify (Output) the spectral emission characteristics of the corresponding spectroscopic measuring device 5 and the measurement target object 1 measured by the spectrometric measuring device 5. You can do it.

Next, the operation of the calibration device 3 in the calibration system shown in FIG. 1 will be described using the flowchart in FIG.

First, when the filter measuring instrument 2 is shipped from the factory, the filter measuring instrument 2, various measuring objects 1 and various spectroscopic measuring instruments 5 are combined to measure the spectral radiation characteristics of the measuring object 1, and the results are shown. , The filter measuring device ID, the measurement object ID, and the spectroscopic measuring device ID are stored as combination information in the storage unit 41 of the database server 4 as a combination table. In addition, the spectral response of the filter measuring device 2 is also measured and stored in the filter measuring device 2 itself, or stored in the combination table of the database server 4 in association with the filter measuring device ID. By repeating this, a large amount of combination information is stored in the database server.

The user measures the measurement object 1 using the shipped filter measuring device 2, but the measuring unit 34 of the calibration device 3 acquires the measurement data, the filter measuring device ID, and the spectral responsivity from the filter measuring device 2. At the same time, the display type of the measuring object 1 is acquired by user input or the like (step S01).

Next, the determination unit 35 of the calibration device 3 accesses the database server 4 via the network and acquires the combination information from the combination table of the database server 4 (step S01).

The determination unit 35 further compares the acquired combination information with the filter measurement device ID and display type acquired by the measurement unit 34, and determines a combination in which the filter measurement device ID and the display type match from the combination information. (Step S01). Then, the spectroscopic measurement device 5 and the spectroscopic radiation characteristic indicated by the spectroscopic measurement device ID included in the determined combination are the optimum spectroscopic measurement device corresponding to the filter measurement device 2 and the measurement target 1 that are actually used. 5 and the spectroscopic radiation characteristics are determined (step S01).

For example, in the combination table of FIG. 2, if the filter measuring instrument ID is a and the display type is a circle number 1, the spectroscopic measuring instrument ID is determined to be A and the spectral radiation characteristic is determined to be α.

Next, the calibration unit 36 calculates a correction coefficient (corresponding to the first correction coefficient) CM1 using the determined spectral radiation characteristic and the spectral responsivity of the filter measuring device 2 (step S02), and the calculated correction is performed. The measurement data (Raw data) is corrected using the coefficient CM1 (step S03).

As described above, in this embodiment, a plurality of combinations of the spectral radiation characteristics of the filter measuring device 2, the measuring object 1, the spectroscopic measuring device 5, and the measuring object 1 are stored in association with the database server 4 in advance. From the combination information, the optimum combination corresponding to the actually used filter measuring device 2 and the measurement object 1 is selected, and the spectral radiation characteristics included in the selected combination are corrected when the filter measuring device 2 is calibrated. Since it is used for calculating the coefficient, even if the filter measuring device 2 or the measuring object 1 used for the measurement is changed, or the user does not hold the optimum spectroscopic measuring device 5, the accuracy suitable for the conditions can be obtained. High calibration can be done easily and efficiently.

Further, in this embodiment, since the combination information includes the spectroscopic measurement device ID for specifying the spectroscopic measurement device 5, the user holds the spectroscopic measurement device 5 specified by this spectroscopic measurement device ID. In this case, the spectral radiation characteristic of the measurement object 1 may be measured again using the spectroscopic measurement device 5, and the correction coefficient CM1 may be calculated based on the result. In this case, since the spectral emission characteristic has already been obtained, it is possible to perform calibration with high traceability.
[Second Embodiment]
In the above-described first embodiment, a large number of pieces of combination information defined in the combination table shown in FIG. 2 are associated with the filter measuring instrument ID, the display type of the measurement object 1, the spectroscopic measuring instrument ID, and the spectral radiation characteristic, respectively. It was the one that was done.

However, since the correction coefficient CM1 also differs depending on the measurement position on the measurement object, highly accurate calibration cannot be performed if the measurement position is different.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the spectral radiation characteristics are measured in advance by changing the measurement position on the measurement object 1 under various combinations, and information for specifying the measurement position is displayed as shown in the combination table of FIG. Is also held in the combination table in association with the filter measuring device ID, display type, spectroscopic measuring device ID, and spectral radiation characteristic.

The operation of the calibration device 3 when the combination table of FIG. 4 is used in the calibration system of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When calibrating the measurement of the measurement object 1 using the filter measuring device 2, the measuring unit 34 of the calibration device 3 acquires the measurement data, the filter measuring device ID, and the spectral responsivity from the filter measuring device 2, and Information on the measurement position and the display type are acquired by user input or the like (step S11).

Next, the determination unit 35 of the calibration device 3 accesses the database server 4 via the network and acquires the combination information from the combination table of the database server 4 (step S11).

The determination unit 35 further compares the acquired combination information with the filter measurement device ID, the display type, and the measurement position acquired by the measurement unit 34, and the filter measurement device ID, the display type, and the measurement position are selected from the combination information. A matching combination is determined (step S11). Then, the spectroscopic measuring instrument 5 and the spectral radiation characteristics indicated by the spectroscopic measuring instrument ID included in the determined combination are optimally spectroscopically measured corresponding to the filter measuring instrument 2 and the measurement object 1 used for the measurement. It is determined as the device 5 and the spectroscopic radiation characteristics (step S11).

For example, if the filter measuring instrument ID is a, the display type is a circle number 1, and the measuring position is the measuring position 1, the spectroscopic measuring instrument ID is determined to be A and the spectral radiation characteristic is determined to be α.

Next, the calibration unit 36 calculates the correction coefficient CM1 using the determined spectral radiation characteristic and the spectral responsivity of the filter measuring device 2 (step S12), and corrects the measurement data using the calculated correction coefficient CM1. Yes (step S13).

As described above, in this embodiment, the combination information stored in advance in the database server 4 also includes information for specifying the measurement position, so that the optimum combination is determined in consideration of the measurement position. And more accurate calibration can be done.
[Third Embodiment]
Since the correction coefficient CM1 differs not only with the measurement position on the measurement object but also with the measurement angle, it is not possible to perform highly accurate calibration if the measurement angles are different.

Therefore, in this embodiment, not only the measurement position in the measurement object 1 but also the measurement angle is changed under various combinations to perform the measurement in advance, and the measurement position and the measurement angle are specified as shown in the combination table of FIG. The information for doing so is also stored in the combination table in association with the filter measuring device ID, the display type, the spectroscopic measuring device ID, and the spectral radiation characteristic.

The operation of the calibration device 3 when the combination table of FIG. 6 is used in the calibration system of FIG. 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

When calibrating the measurement of the measurement object 1 using the filter measuring device 2, the measuring unit 34 of the calibration device 3 acquires the measurement data, the filter measuring device ID, and the spectral responsivity from the filter measuring device 2, and Information on the measurement position and the measurement angle and the display type are acquired by user input or the like (step S21).

Next, the determination unit 35 of the calibration device 3 accesses the database server 4 via the network and acquires the combination information from the combination table of the database server 4 (step S21).

The determination unit 35 further compares the acquired combination information with the filter measurement device ID, the display type, the measurement position, and the measurement angle acquired by the measurement unit 34, and from the combination information, the filter measurement device ID, the display type, A combination in which the measurement position and the measurement angle match is determined (step S21). Then, the spectroscopic measuring instrument 5 and the spectral radiation characteristics indicated by the spectroscopic measuring instrument ID included in the determined combination are optimally spectroscopically measured corresponding to the filter measuring instrument 2 and the measurement object 1 used for the measurement. It is determined as the device 5 and the spectroscopic radiation characteristics (step S21). For example, if the filter measuring device ID is a, the display type is circled number 1, the measuring position is measuring position 1, and the measuring angle is θ, the spectroscopic measuring device ID is determined to be A and the spectral radiation characteristic is determined to be α.

Next, the calibration unit 36 calculates the correction coefficient CM1 using the determined spectral radiation characteristic and the spectral response of the filter measuring device 2 (step S22), and corrects the measurement data using the calculated correction coefficient CM1. Yes (step S23).

As described above, in this embodiment, since the combination information stored in advance in the database server 4 includes information for specifying the measurement angle as well as the measurement position, the measurement angle is also taken into consideration. The optimal combination can be determined, and more accurate calibration can be performed.

The combination table may include only information about the measurement angle, not both the measurement position and the measurement angle.
[Fourth Embodiment]
When the measured values of the spectroscopic measuring instrument 5 and the filter measuring instrument 2 are compared, a difference occurs. Therefore, there is a technique (arbitrary calibration) in which a correction coefficient is calculated from the difference in the measured values and the correction is added to the measurement data of the filter measuring device 2.

Where Value[Spectrometer] is a matrix that is the individual stimulus values obtained from the spectroscopic data, and Value[Filter type measuring instrument]] is a matrix that is the individual stimulus values of the measurement data (Raw data) obtained by the filter measuring instrument. , Let CM2 be the calibration matrix (second correction factor)
Value [Spectrometer] = CM2 * Value [Filter type measuring instrument]] ・・・ (2)
It is represented by.

Since the light source (spectroscopic measuring instrument) used to acquire the spectral responsivity of the filter measuring instrument 2 and the display panel which is the measurement object 1 have different optical characteristics such as polarization characteristics and directivity, the first correction described above is performed. The coefficient (CM1) and the above second correction coefficient (CM2) do not completely match.

Therefore, as shown in the explanatory diagram of the arbitrary calibration in FIG. 8, before the factory shipment, the display panel which is the same measurement object 1 is measured in advance at the same timing by using the spectroscopic measurement device 5 and the filter measurement device 1. , The first correction coefficient (CM1) and the second correction coefficient (CM2). Assuming that the calculated difference between CM1 and CM2 is the third correction coefficient (CM3) as shown in FIG. 9A showing the relationship between the correction coefficients at the time of factory shipment, FIG. As in (B)
CM2' = CM1' + CM3 = CM1' + (CM2 · CM1)・・・(3)
Becomes Here, CM1' and CM2' represent the first and second correction coefficients when the user is actually using the filter measuring instrument. The third correction coefficient (CM3) may be obtained by the ratio of the first correction coefficient (CM1) and the second correction coefficient (CM2) as in the following formula (4).
CM2' = CM1' * (CM2 / CM1))・・・(4)
Then, identification information (ID) is given to the filter measuring device 2 and the measuring object 1, and the spectral responsivity of each filter measuring device 2 and the filter measuring device 2 used to measure each measuring object 1 Information on the spectral radiation characteristic and further the third correction coefficient (CM3) are associated with each other and held as a combination table.

In the actual measurement of the measurement object 1 by the filter measurement device 2, the ID of the filter measurement device 2 and the ID of the measurement object 1 which are being used are measured by the measurement unit 34 of the calibration device 3 by the acquired measurement data (Raw Data) and set and hold. Then, a combination that matches the filter measuring device ID and the measurement object ID is determined from the combination information, and the spectroscopic measuring device ID, the spectral radiation characteristic, and the third correction coefficient (CM3) included in the combination are determined. To do.

Then, the first correction coefficient (CM1′) is calculated from the spectral responsivity of the filter measuring device 2 and the spectral radiation characteristic, and from the first correction coefficient (CM1′) and the third correction coefficient (CM3). , The second correction coefficient (CM2′) is derived from the expression (3) or the expression (4), and the measurement value is corrected using the second correction coefficient (CM2′).

In this way, by storing the third correction coefficient (CM3) in the combination table, it is not necessary to perform arbitrary calibration before each measurement, and the burden on the operator can be reduced.
[Other Embodiments]
Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

For example, an ID that is identification information is attached to the filter measuring device 2 and the measuring object 1, and the spectral responsivity of each filter measuring device 2 and the measuring device information and the spectrum used for measuring each measuring object 1 Information on the radiation characteristics is set (associated) with each of these IDs and held as a combination table. Then, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10, at the time of actual measurement, the temperature, the humidity, the place, and the external light (measurement) obtained by the external environment measuring device 6 provided integrally with or separately from the calibration device 3 are measured. Measurement environment information (measurement environment parameters) such as (illuminance of place), external electric field magnetic field, vibration of measuring instrument, cleanliness of measurement place, stability of power supply, and ID of worker involved in measurement. By holding as a set, the tendency of the measurement environment can be analyzed. Further, the user may add the measurement environment information (measurement environment parameters) to the combination table read by the determination unit 35. 10 is the same as the flowchart of FIG. 5 except that the measurement environment information (measurement environment parameters) is stored as a set with the measurement data. Detailed description is omitted.

Moreover, when managing the same measuring object 1 using a plurality of filter measuring devices 2, the measured value is uniquely changed from the measured value of each lot or each measuring device accumulated in the database server 4, or Failure prediction may be performed in advance by finding a lot or a measuring instrument that changes linearly.

Further, in the above embodiment, a combination in which the IDs of the filter measuring instrument 2 used for the actual measurement and the measurement object 1 match is selected from the combination information stored in the combination table. However, by accumulating a large number of these pieces of combination information, by using so-called AI (artificial intelligence) or the like, even if the same ID as that of the measurement object 1 does not exist in the combination information, the spectral emission It is possible to acquire a combination for the measurement object 1 having similar characteristics.

In this case, preferably, the database server 4 may store an initial value table of weights for discriminating a combination of the measurement objects 1 having similar spectral radiation characteristics together with the combination table.

Here, an example of the weight initial value table will be described. The weight initial value table indicates the ID (display type) of a measurement object having a similar spectrum shape even when measuring a measurement object (display panel) that differs from the spectrum shape of the spectral emission characteristics of the measurement object. It means a table for specifying, for example, the weighting coefficient W in the neural network.

As an example of the neural network, the neural network is represented by a schematic diagram as shown in FIG. In FIG. 11, o1 ¹ , o2 ¹ , and o3 ¹ output 1 if the difference is large at each wavelength, and 0 if the difference is small (step function below: 1 if u is larger than the threshold value b, 0 if smaller) Output).

In addition, o1 ² and o2 ² are calculated by the following equations, respectively.
o1 ² = o1 ¹ * W11 + o2 ¹ * W21 + o3 ¹ * W31
o2 ² = o1 ¹ * W12 + o2 ¹ * W22 + o3 ¹ * W32
Then, it is a mechanism to judge match or mismatch from the values of o1 ² and o2 ² .

When comparing two measurement objects (display panels) (one is an LED and the other is an OLED), the spectral shapes of the LED and the OLED are as shown in FIGS. There is no difference, and there is a small difference in relative intensity at 550 nm, and a large difference in relative intensity at 650 nm.

Based on this premise, the weighting coefficient W (initial value table of weights) shown in FIG. 13 is determined. As an example, if there are two measurement objects 1 and there is no difference at 450 nm, but there is a difference at 550 nm and 650 nm (o1 ¹ = 0, o2 ¹ = 1, o3 ¹ = 1), then , O1 ² and o2 ² are combined with the initial weight table (Fig. 13).
o1 ² = 0 * 0.01 + 1 * 0.6 + 1 * 0.9 = 1.5
o2 ² = 0 * 0.01 + 1 * 0.3 + 1 * 0.1 = 0.4
Is required. That is, the probability of mismatch is 79% [1.5 / (1.5 + 0.4) * 100], and the probability of match is 21% [0.4 / (1.5 + 0.4) * 100].

Although the above example was an example of comparison at three wavelengths, it is possible to perform the comparison more accurately by comparing every 1 nm (401 places) in the entire visible light range (380 nm to 780 nm). You can

In this way, by referring to the weight initial value table, it is possible to select a combination having the measurement object 1 having a commonality, and it is possible to calculate an approximate correction coefficient.

Alternatively, the update device may automatically create a new combination in which the measurement object ID is replaced with a measurement object ID having commonity in the selected combination, and stored in the database server. It is also possible to allow the user to input the evaluation of the similar combination, and to automatically create a new combination based on this evaluation and store it in the database server. As a result, even if the user or the like does not create a new combination table, the combination information increases, so that the labor of creating the combination table is reduced.

Further, in the above embodiment, the combination table is stored in the database server 4, and the calibration device 3 acquires the combination information from the database server 4 via the network. However, as shown in FIG. 14, the combination table may be stored and stored in the non-volatile memory (storage unit) 33 in the calibration device 3. With this configuration, the calibration device 3 does not need to acquire the combination information from the external database server 4. The operation of the calibration device 3 in FIG. 14 is the same as the operation of the calibration device 3 in the calibration system shown in FIG. 1, except that the combination information is acquired in the own device as described above.

The present invention can be used to calibrate a stimulus-type colorimeter that includes at least three color channels.
