1. A system for calibrating a display, comprising:
- a lens operable to receive incoming light emitted by a display device;
a photodetector operable to detect properties of the incoming light regardless of the location of the lens in relation to the display device;
a microprocessor operable to generate a luminance value of the display device in response to the properties of the incoming light detected by the photodetector, the microprocessor operable to provide the luminance value in order to adjust display parameters for the display device, the microprocessor operable to generate the lunminance value whether or not the incoming light includes ambient light.

Abstract
A compact flat panel color calibration system includes a lens prism optic able to pass a narrow, perpendicular, and uniform cone angle of incoming light to a spectrally non-selective photodetector. The calibration system also includes a microprocessor operable to determine the luminance of the display based upon the information gathered by the photodetector. A software module included in the calibration system is then operable to process the luminance information in order to adjust the flat panel display.
