Abstract
This chapter discusses methods and equipment for measuring, calibrating, and characterizing the color of self-luminous color displays. The basic measurement methodology that is used almost universally today is that which was introduced as the international standard by the CIE in 1931. Since that time, the CIE has made occasional, minor modifications that have necessitated periodic revisions in its published recommendations. Currently, the authoritative reference is CIE (1986). Calibration and characterization techniques, on the other hand, are not well standardized at the moment. Although some conventions exist, the development of proper procedures is still the subject of both debate and research.
