Line Scan Cameras Enable High Speed Inspection of Color Filters Within Flat-Panel Display
Teledyne DALSA, Machine Vision OEM Components
The market of flat-panel displays (FPD) is a nearly $100 billion business that needs efficient automated optical inspection (AOI) to meet rising demand and remain cost effective. The color filters within the display represent a major inspection task, demanding both precision and speed. Inspection systems using high-speed, high-resolution line scan cameras have proven themselves both equal to the present need and able to support panel technology’s evolution.

Laser-Based Machine Vision: Lidar and 3-D Scanning
Wed, Feb 25, 2015 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
FREE WEBINAR
|
Lidar has become an increasingly useful tool in mapping and surveying applications over the past decade. Many perceived limitations of lidar have recently been overcome with a combination of hardware and software technologies originally developed for space applications and recently further evolved for terrestrial applications. Specifically, advances in measurement range, durability and obscurant penetration have been applied to a new lidar product for harsh environments where visibility is often obscured by dust, fog or rain.

Flat Optics based on Metasurfaces: Molding Wavefronts and Surface Waves

Metasurfaces based on subwavelength patterning have major potential for realizing arbitrary control of the wavefront of diffracted light by achieving local control of the phase amplitude and polarization. We discuss novel devices based on this technique; a salient feature is the ability to create, often with a single digital mask, an arbitrary analog phase profile. A variety of flat optical components will be presented, including lenses, polarizers, vortex plates, coatings, holograms and couplers with polarization invariant coupling efficiency.
