LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE, TEST SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462384 titled 'LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE, TEST SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a test system with a light source device that includes a first light source, ND filters, an aperture unit, and a diffuser to adjust and diffuse light for testing an image sensor based on transmittance and aperture ratio.

  • The light source device includes:
    • A first light source emitting a first light
    • ND filters to adjust the first light
    • An aperture unit with multiple apertures to further adjust the light
    • A diffuser to diffuse the light for testing an image sensor
  • The illuminance of the first light is adjusted based on the transmittance of the ND filter and the aperture ratio of each aperture.
  • The system is designed to provide controlled lighting conditions for accurate testing of image sensors.

Potential Applications

The technology can be used in:

  • Image sensor testing
  • Camera calibration
  • Quality control in manufacturing processes

Problems Solved

  • Inaccurate testing results due to inconsistent lighting conditions
  • Difficulty in adjusting light intensity for different testing scenarios

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in image sensor testing
  • Consistent and controlled lighting conditions
  • Easy adjustment of light intensity for different testing requirements

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Camera manufacturing companies
  • Image sensor testing facilities
  • Research institutions in the field of optics and imaging

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing patents related to light source devices for image sensor testing, but specific prior art is not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle variations in ambient lighting during testing?

The abstract does not mention how the system compensates for changes in ambient lighting that could affect the testing results.

Are there any limitations to the types of image sensors that can be tested using this system?

The abstract does not specify if the system is compatible with all types of image sensors or if there are any limitations in terms of sensor size or technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a test system which includes a light source device. The light source device includes a first light source configured to radiate a first light, a plurality of neutral-density (ND) filters including a first ND filter attached to the first light source and configured to adjust the first light, an aperture unit including a plurality of apertures configured to adjust the first light received from the first ND filter and a diffuser configured to diffuse the first light received from the aperture unit and to radiate the first light for testing an image sensor, wherein an illuminance of the first light is adjusted based on a transmittance of the first ND filter and an aperture ratio of each of the apertures.
