Overview

IEC 62341-5-3:2019 specifies standard measuring methods for determining image sticking and luminance lifetime of organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panels and modules (excluding finalized consumer products such as TV sets, monitor sets and mobile phones). The second edition updates measurement vehicles and analysis methods and adds procedures for HDR displays and CIEDE2000 colour-difference analysis. The lifetime measurement mainly applies to modules, while modified methods address monitor/TV devices and include digital signage examples.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and test objects
    • Applies to OLED panels and modules (measurement for finalized products is excluded; monitor/TV measurement methods were updated).
    • Lifetime measurement is focused on modules.
  • Measuring configuration and conditions
    • Defines the measuring system arrangement, required light measuring device (LMD) characteristics, and standard environmental/darkroom conditions.
    • Standard setup covers DUT adjustments, starting conditions, and equipment calibration.
  • Image sticking measurement
    • Procedures for stress patterns, measuring areas, and post-stress evaluation.
    • Includes both SDR and HDR test patterns and procedures to reflect modern content (HDR measurement method added in this edition).
    • Analysis options include luminance and colour-difference evaluation using CIEDE2000 (newly introduced).
  • Luminance lifetime measurement
    • Specifies equipment, test procedures and lifetime estimation/extrapolation methods.
    • Defines equivalent signal level (digital code 0–255 for 8-bit transforms) and equivalent current density concepts to normalize varying dynamic content - see Annex A for calculation methods.
  • Reporting and analysis
    • Standardized reporting formats for image-sticking metrics, target times, and lifetime thresholds.
    • Annex B provides the CIEDE2000 colour-difference calculation procedure.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

  • Display manufacturers and module developers - for product development, benchmarking and quality control of OLED panels and modules.
  • Test and certification laboratories - to perform repeatable, internationally consistent image-sticking and lifetime tests.
  • R&D teams and materials suppliers - to evaluate degradation behaviour under controlled stress and to compare materials/process variants.
  • System integrators and digital signage vendors - to assess module suitability for continuous/static-content applications where image retention or long-term luminance is critical.

Benefits: consistent, repeatable measurements; valid comparisons across suppliers and designs; guidance for new HDR and colour-difference analysis in image-sticking evaluation.

this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.

4.2 Light measuring device
The optical properties of displays shall generally be expressed in photometric or colorimetric
units using the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric two-degree observer (see ISO 11664-1).
Luminance can be measured by a photometer, and the CIE tristimulus values (X, Y, Z) or CIE
chromaticity coordinates by a colorimeter. A spectroradiometer can also obtain photometric
and colorimetric values through a numerical conversion of the measured spectral radiance
data (see, for example, [1] ). The following requirements are given for these instruments:
The LMD shall be a luminance meter, colorimeter, or a spectroradiometer. For DUTs that
have sharp spectral peak full-width-at-half-maximums (FWHMs) smaller than 20 nm, a
spectroradiometer should be used. A filter colorimeter should generally not be used for light
sources with sharp spectral peaks. If they are used, the colorimeter shall be calibrated with a
narrow bandwidth spectroradiometer to give the same results for the specific spectrum.
Report the characteristics of the spectroradiometer which is used for calibration. For light
sources with sharp spectral peaks, the maximum bandwidth of the spectroradiometer shall be
≤ 5 nm. The higher resolution spectroradiometer produces a more accurate colour
measurement. In those cases, the wavelength accuracy shall be within ±0,5 nm. The
spectroradiometer shall be capable of measuring spectral radiance over at least the 380 nm to
780 nm wavelength range, with a maximum bandwidth of 10 nm for smooth broadband
spectra (i.e. broad spectrum with no sharp spikes).
Care shall be taken to ensure that the LMD has enough sensitivity and dynamic range to
perform the required task. Before measuring the DUT, the LMD specification shall be checked.
5 Standard measuring conditions
5.1 Standard measuring environmental conditions
The standard measuring environmental conditions specified in IEC 62341-6-1:2017, 5.1, shall
be applied. For image sticking measurements, the environmental temperature shall be
controlled at 25 °C ± 3 °C, otherwise a temperature-controlled detector shall be used. (The
stability of the LMD shall be less than 1/5 of the intended detecting difference levels of
luminance and colour.)
5.2 Standard measuring darkroom conditions
The standard measuring darkroom conditions specified in IEC 62341-6-1:2017, 5.2, shall be
applied.
5.3 Standard setup conditions
5.3.1 General
Standard setup conditions are given below. Any deviations from these conditions shall be
recorded.
5.3.2 Adjustment of OLED display
The adjustment of the OLED display specified in IEC 62341-6-1:2017, 5.3.2, shall be applied.
____________
Numbers in square brackets refer to the Bibliography.

5.3.3 Starting conditions of measurements
Warm-up time is defined as the time elapsed from the moment of switching on the supply
voltage until repeated measurements of the display show a variation in luminance of less than
2 %/min. Repeated measurements shall be taken for a period of at least 15 min after starting.
The luminance variations shall also not exceed 5 % during the total measurement.
5.3.4 Test patterns
5.3.4.1 SDR displays
The test patterns for SDR display devices such as mobile phones, tablet PCs, monitors, TVs
and digital signage are shown in Figure 2. The test pattern for SDR displays is divided into
two groups.
1) Test pattern for mobiles and tablet PC displays
In the case of mobiles and tablet PCs, the measurement distance between the display and the
LMD depends on the size of the OLED display panels or modules. The measuring distance
and the aperture angle may be adjusted to achieve a measuring field greater than 500 pixels
if the setting of the measurement field angle is not applied. For display devices except
monitors, TVs and digital signage, the test pattern with a white level at the 4 % window box
located in the centre and a black level in the background, is used in Figure 2a).
2) Test pattern for monitors, TVs and digital signage displays
For monitors, TVs and digital signage, the test pattern is extracted by video analysis to reflect
the characteristics of the video sample. For the test pattern, the maximum code value is
allocated at the 4 % window box in the centre and the average code value is in the
background. The examples of the maximum and average gray code values are shown in
Table 1. The example of the test pattern is shown in Figure 2b). The maximum and average
code values between 0 and 255 (in the case of 8 bits) could be extracted from the
accumulating image for all frames of the video sample, which is converted as equivalent
grayscale from each colour channel.
NOTE 1 Image sticking is influenced by the characteristics of the OLED displays [5], [7]. Some manufacturers of
OLED displays apply various algorithms to optimize the quality of each device, and this also influences the image
sticking. To consider the characteristics of an OLED display, the method in Annex A is used for the test pattern
reflecting the characteristics of the OLED display.

a) Test pattern for mobiles b) Test pattern for monitors, TVs
and tablet PC displays and digital signage displays

Broadcast video sample 183 102

NOTE 2 For the test pattern, any video samples could be selected as needed. Table 1 shows two kinds of
representative examples. The broadcast video sample example is constructed by considering the viewing ratio of
the content of TV programmes based on the Korea broadcast media use environmental survey report:
entertainment (30,9%), news (20,2 %), drama (16,8 %), and so on [4]. The average gray level and test pattern size
are different between SDR and HDR in TVs. Depending on the purpose of the test, Figure 2b) or Figure 4a) would
apply.
3) Measuring area
In order to get repeatability of measurement, the measuring area from P to P for displays is
0 4
set to consider the uniformity of the OLED display panels or modules, as shown in Figure 3. If
the centre window size is changed, then it should be reported in Table 2.

Figure 3 – Image sticking measuring area
4) Checking the test pattern
For SDR displays, the output luminance can be different although they have the same digital
code value inputs. To check the brief information of the selected test pattern, the output
luminance for the test pattern should be measured and reported.
Apply the test pattern on OLED displays and measure the output luminance on t

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

The system diagrams and/or operating conditions of the measuring equipment shall comply
with the structure specified in each item. The measuring system and its arrangement are
shown in Figure 1. The details are given in Clause 5.

Figure 1 – Measuring system and arrangement

– 8 – IEC 62341-5-3:2019 RLV © IEC 2019
4.2 Light measuring device (LMD)
The LMD as defined in IEC 62341-6-1:2009 shall be used. Specifically, the accuracy of the
LMD at 1 degree of the measurement field angle is recommended as being ≤ ±3%, and with a
repeatability ≤ ±0,5%.
The optical properties of displays shall generally be expressed in photometric or colorimetric
units using the CIE 1931 standard colorimetric two-degree observer (see ISO 11664-1).
Luminance can be measured by a photometer, and the CIE tristimulus values (X, Y, Z) or CIE
chromaticity coordinates by a colorimeter. A spectroradiometer can also obtain photometric
and colorimetric values through a numerical conversion of the measured spectral radiance
data (see, for example, [1] ). The following requirements are given for these instruments:
The LMD shall be a luminance meter, colorimeter, or a spectroradiometer. For DUTs that
have sharp spectral peak full-width-at-half-maximums (FWHMs) smaller than 20 nm, a
spectroradiometer should be used. A filter colorimeter should generally not be used for light
sources with sharp spectral peaks. If they are used, the colorimeter shall be calibrated with a
narrow bandwidth spectroradiometer to give the same results for the specific spectrum.
Report the characteristics of the spectroradiometer which is used for calibration. For light
sources with sharp spectral peaks, the maximum bandwidth of the spectroradiometer shall be
≤ 5 nm. The higher resolution spectroradiometer produces a more accurate colour
measurement. In those cases, the wavelength accuracy shall be within ±0,5 nm. The
spectroradiometer shall be capable of measuring spectral radiance over at least the 380 nm to
780 nm wavelength range, with a maximum bandwidth of 10 nm for smooth broadband
spectra (i.e. broad spectrum with no sharp spikes).
Care shall be taken to ensure that the LMD has enough sensitivity and dynamic range to
perform the required task. Before measuring the DUT, the LMD specification shall be checked.
5 Standard measuring conditions
5.1 Standard measuring environmental conditions
The standard measuring environmental conditions specified in IEC 62341-6-1:20092017, 5.1,
shall be applied. For image sticking measurements, the environmental temperature shall be
controlled at 25 °C ± 2 3 °C, otherwise a temperature-controlled detector shall be used. (The
stability of the LMD shall be less than 1/5 of the intended detecting difference levels of
luminance and colour.)
5.2 Standard measuring darkroom conditions
The standard measuring darkroom conditions specified in IEC 62341-6-1:20092017, 5.2, shall
be applied.
5.3 Standard setup conditions
5.3.1 General
For the measurement area, the minimum radius for measurement with the distance and
aperture angle is explained in Table 1.

5.3.2 Adjustment of OLED display modules
The adjustment of the OLED display modules specified in IEC 62341-6-1:20092017, 5.3.12,
shall be applied.
5.3.3 Starting conditions of measurements
Warm-up time is defined as the time elapsed from the moment of switching on the supply
voltage until repeated measurements of the display show a variation in luminance of less than
2 %/min. Repeated measurements shall be taken for a period of at least 15 min after starting.
The luminance variations shall also not exceed 5 % during the total measurement.
5.3.4 Test patterns
The test patterns for display devices such as mobile phones, table PCs, monitors and TVs are
shown in Figure 2. In the case of mobiles and tablet PCs, depending on the size of the OLED
display panels or modules and measurement distance between the display and the LMD, if the
pattern size is a smaller area than a 10 mm radius at a 500 mm measurement distance with a
2-degree aperture angle of the LMD, then the aperture angle of the LMD should be set to
cover the pattern area as set in Table 1. The measuring distance and the aperture angle may
be adjusted to achieve a measuring field greater than 500 pixels if the setting of the aperture
angle is difficult. For all applications, the test pattern is used in Figure 2a), and usage method
case for monitors and TVs such as Figure 2b) may be used. In order to get repeatability of
measurement, the measuring location from P to P for TVs type as shown in Figure 2c) are
0 4
set, considering the uniformity of the OLED display panels or modules.

5.3.4.1 SDR displays
The test patterns for SDR display devices such as mobile phones, tablet PCs, monitors, TVs
and digital signage are shown in Figure 2. The test pattern for SDR displays is divided into
two groups.
1) Test pattern for mobiles and tablet PC displays
In the case of mobiles and tablet PCs, the measurement distance between the display and the
LMD depends on the size of the OLED display panels or modules. The measuring distance
and the aperture angle may be adjusted to achieve a measuring field greater than 500 pixels
if the setting of the measurement field angle is not applied. For display devices except
monitors, TVs and digital signage, the test pattern with a white level at the 4 % window box
located in the centre and a black level in the background, is used in Figure 2a).
2) Test pattern for monitors, TVs and digital signage displays
For monitors, TVs and digital signage, the test pattern is extracted by video analysis to reflect
the characteristics of the video sample. For the test pattern, the maximum code value is
allocated at the 4 % window box in the centre and the average code value is in the
background. The examples of the maximum and average gray code values are shown in
Table 1. The example of the test pattern is shown in Figure 2b). The maximum and average
code values between 0 and 255 (in the case of 8 bits) could be extracted from the
accumulating image for all frames of the video sample, which is converted as equivalent
grayscale from each colour channel.
NOTE 1 Image sticking is influenced by the characteristics of the OLED displays [5], [7]. Some manufacturers of
OLED displays apply various algorithms to optimize the quality of each device, and this also influences the image

sticking. To consider the characteristics of an OLED display, the method in Annex A is used for the test pattern
reflecting the characteristics of the OLED display.

and tablet PC displays and digital signage displays

Broadcast video sample 183 102

NOTE 2 For the test pattern, any video samples could be selected as needed. Table 1 shows two kinds of
representative examples. The broadcast video sample example is constructed by considering the viewing ratio of
the content of TV programmes based on the Korea broadcast media use environmental survey report:
entertainment (30,9%), news (20,2 %), drama (16,8 %), and so on [4]. The average gray level and test pattern size
are different between SDR and HDR in TVs. Depending on the purpose of the test, Figure 2b) or Figure 4a) would
apply.
3) Measuring area
In order to get repeatability of measurement, the measuring area from P to P for displays is
0 4
set to consider the uniformity of the OLED display panels or modules, as shown in Figure 3. If
the centre window size is changed, then it should be reported in Table 2.

Figure 3 – Image sticking measuring area
4) Checking the test pattern
For SDR displays, the output luminance can be different although they have the same digital
code value inputs. To check the brief information of the selected test pattern, the output
luminance for the test pattern should be measured and reported.

– 12 – IEC 62341-5-3:2019 RLV © IEC 2019
Apply the test pattern on OLED displays and measure the output luminance on the measuring
area from P to P as shown in Figure 3. The results of the output luminance of the test
0 4
pattern should be reported in Table 2.
5.3.4.2 HDR displays
In 5.3.4.1, the test pattern for SDR displays is described. The test pattern for HDR displays is
shown in Figure 4a). It is based on the PQ curve and 10 bits. The test pattern for HDR
displays is proposed separately because the characteristics of the contents of the SDR and
HDR are different. The test pattern for SDR or HDR can be used as needed. The background
code value should be 510. The size of the box window should be 10 %, which is located in the
centre. The code value of the 10 % box window should be 710. The measured luminance of
the box window and the background luminance should be reported. To get repeatability of the
measurement data, the measuring area from P to P is the centre of the boxes, as shown in
0 4
Figure 4b). The measurement data should be reported in Table 2.

a) HDR test pattern b) Measurement area
Figure 4 – Test pattern for HDR displays
NOTE The code value of the 10 % box window and background is the result of the analysed data of HDR contents
which are HDR games, drama and documentary.
5.3.5 Conditions of measuring equipment
The general conditions in IEC 62341-6-1:20092017, Clause 5, shall be applied.
6 Measuring methods of image sticking
6.1 Purpose
The purpose of this method is to measure the image sticking of an OLED display panels or
modules.
6.2 Measuring method
6.2.1 Measuring equipment
The following equipment defined in IEC 62341-6-1:20092017, 6.1.2 5.3.4, shall be used:
a) power supplies and signal sources for driving,
b) LMD.
6.2.2 Measuring procedure
The OLED display modules shall be set in darkroom conditions for measurement.
a) Initial measurements on full screen pattern
Apply a full white screen driving signal to the OLED display modules over the full screen, and
set all power supplies to the standard operation conditions. However, for some display
applications, the full screen luminance can be reduced, according to 7.3.1 of IEC 62341-6-
1:2009.
Measure the initial spectral radiance or tristimulus values of white at P to P as shown in
0 4
Figure 2c) 3. The initial spectra radiance or tristrimulus values of the primary colours may also
be measured individually.
b) Image burn-in stress using the test pattern
For the test pattern for display devices (except monitors and TVs), set the test input signal
to the OLED display modules to generate a 0 % luminance level over the full screen and a
peak luminance at the test pattern which is located at the centre of the display as shown in
Figure 2a). For monitor and TV, set the peak luminance level over the 4 % window pattern
located in the centre of the display with a 15 % luminance level of the peak luminance
over the background area. For information about guidance, see Annex C of
IEC 62087:2011. If the other pattern is used, it should be based on Annex A of this
document and reported.
For image stress, the test pattern based on 5.3.4 for display devices should be applied to the
OLED display.
Keep the test pattern until the specified time, considering the luminance degradation curve.
For example, the measurement time can be every 1 h during the first 6 h, and every 24 h
during the first 120 h, then every 72 h until the target time in the standard measurement
condition. Alternatively keep the test pattern until the target time in the standard measurement
condition.
c) Measurements on full screen pattern after image stress
Before the measurement, turn off the OLED display and stabilize it to the standard operation
condition. Then turn on the OLED display again and apply a full white screen driving signal to
the OLED display modules over the full screen. Set all power supplies also to the standard
operation conditions. Measure the spectral radiance or the tristimulus values at the same
measuring location as the initial measurement. The initial and final spectra radiance or
tristrimulus values of the individual primary colours may also be measured and reported.
For the measurement method, only white tone is considered. For the other primary colours
such as red, green and blue, each test pattern should be designed following the methods of
5.3.4, and each full primary colour screen pattern should be used for measurement.
All measurements shall be done at the target time of 400 and 500 h and shall be reported. In
Figure 3 5, an example of the burn-in image stress is shown.
