Abstract
A subtractive measurement technique in which a CRT display light intensity output is biased above a noise range of a low cost sensor by turning on one or more electron beam guns to produce light levels above the noise range. A bias value is measured. Electron beam guns for colors other than the color being measured are turned on. The gun for the color to be measured is then incremented through its operating range and measured light intensity values at each step are obtained using the sensor. The bias value is subtracted from the measured values to obtain the actual light intensity values for the color primary control value to luminance transfer curve being characterized.
