Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A brightness measuring method of device with backlight is performed by a controlling device, for measuring legends of backlight provided by a backlight module of a device under test (DUT). The method includes turning on a uniform light source external to the DUT for illuminating the DUT; capturing and receiving an image of the DUT illuminated with uniform light as a base image; identifying a complete pattern of a to-be-measured legend in the base image; turning off the uniform light source and turning on the backlight of the DUT so as to illuminate the legend of DUT; capturing and receiving an image of the DUT illuminated with backlight as a comparison image, wherein the scope of the comparison image overlaps the scope of the base image; and calculating brightness values of a plurality of pixels in the comparison image whose positions overlap the positions of the complete pattern.
