Apparatus and methods for system and method for testing and aligning a CRT which can sequentially perform all of the tests needed to precisely align the CRT and provide real-time feedback for operator adjustments. The system can integrate each of the measurements and automatically verify measurements previously performed as required. An improved color CCD camera is also provided which can maintain focus irrespective of variations in the thickness and glass curvature of the CRT screen. Further, photodiode optical filter and lens assemblies and wobulator assemblies can be incorporated into the system to further improve the testing and aligning of the CRTs.

Test and alignment system for electronic display devices

A test and alignment system for an electronic display device comprises a test pattern generator to be connected to an electronic display device for causing images of video test patterns to be displayed by the electronic display device. A test fixture is positioned in front of the electronic display device to be tested and aligned. The test fixture includes a frame supporting a plurality of close-up optical sensors to sense and produce image signals corresponding to small areas of images displayed on the electronic display device and a plurality of wide-angle optical sensors behind the close-up optical sensors for sensing and producing image signals corresponding to large areas of images displayed on the electronic display device. A computer controls the test pattern generator and processes and analyses the image signals generated by the close-up and wide-angle optical sensors to perform a series of tests on the electronic display device. A display provides a visual indication of the results of the series of tests performed by the computer.
