The Konica Minolta CA-527 is a display color analyzer designed for accurate luminance and chromaticity measurement in advanced displays such as OLED and micro-LED. It features a measurement area of 27 mm diameter and operates within an accuracy-guaranteed luminance range of 0.0001 to 10,000 cd/m² and chromaticity range of 0.001 to 10,000 cd/m². The device achieves a measurement time of 1 second at 0.0001 cd/m² in AUTO mode and supports high-speed waveform sampling at 200 kHz for flicker analysis. It includes dedicated VRR-flicker measurement capability for variable refresh rate displays and complies with JEITA, VESA, and FMA standards. The unit weighs 710 g and is supplied with a Type-C USB cable for connection to a PC. Software support includes the CA-S40 application and CA-SDK2 for integration into automated systems, compatible with Windows 10/11 Pro and macOS Monterey/Ventura on Intel or Apple Silicon processors.
The Konica Minolta CA-527 is our next generation Display Color Analyzer from Konica Minolta Sensing, offering reliability, faster measurements, and ultra-low luminance. Its expanded measurement dynamic range covers the range from ultra-low to high luminance, providing a broader range of measurement accuracy and repeatability than its predecessor. This feature meets the need for a more accurate evaluation of luminance and chromaticity in the latest display technologies.
The latest optical design used in the CA-527 enables significantly shorter low-luminance measurement times than the modes in the conventional Display Color Analyzer series. This can help solve issues related to improving takt time at the display production line and in high-definition display R&D.
The CA-527 can measure lower-luminance areas at a higher sampling rate than the conventional Display Color series models. This allows for accurate capture of display emission waveforms, which have become increasingly complex with recent technological trends in displays, such as OLED displays evolving toward even higher contrast ratios and the latest micro-LED displays employing the dynamic drive system.
The CA-527 provides a new flicker measurement function related to VRR, the latest index for flicker evaluation, and a high-performance flicker measurement function using the JEITA, VESA, and FMA methods provided by the conventional Display Color Analyzer series. With the industry’s best flicker measurement performance, the CA-527 sets a new standard while meeting the need for quality evaluation of the latest displays, pushing the boundaries in advanced video quality and power saving.
