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 20240129453 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, neutral-density filters, an aperture unit, and a diffuser to adjust and radiate light for testing an image sensor.

  • The light source device includes a first light source, neutral-density filters, an aperture unit, and a diffuser.
  • The first light source radiates light, which is adjusted by the first ND filter.
  • The aperture unit adjusts the light further before it is diffused by the diffuser for testing the image sensor.
  • The illuminance of the light is adjusted based on the transmittance of the ND filter and the aperture ratio of the apertures.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in:

  • Image sensor testing
  • Camera calibration
  • Light sensitivity measurements

Problems Solved

  • Ensures accurate and consistent testing of image sensors
  • Provides controlled lighting conditions for calibration
  • Facilitates precise measurements of light sensitivity

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in image sensor testing
  • Consistent and reliable results
  • Easy calibration of cameras and sensors

Potential Commercial Applications

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

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of neutral-density filters in photography to control the amount of light reaching the camera sensor.
