Light emitting module testing apparatus
First Claim
1. A light emitting module testing apparatus, comprising:
- a sensing unit including a photodiode array sensing light emitted from a light emitting module serving as a test object before being included in a lighting device; and
a controller generating luminance information based on light sensed by the sensing unit, and setting an operating condition of the light emitting module serving as the test object by comparing the generated luminance information with a reference luminance profile identifying, at each of a plurality of respective locations, a respective pre-set reference range of luminance for the respective location.

Abstract
A light emitting module testing apparatus includes a sensing unit and a controller. The sensing unit includes a photodiode array sensing light emitted from a light emitting module serving as a test object. The controller generates luminance information based on light sensed by the sensing unit, and sets an operating condition of the light emitting module serving as the test object by comparing the generated luminance information with a pre-set reference range. The light emitting module testing apparatus thereby senses luminance of light emitted from the light emitting module serving as a test object, and sets the operating condition of the light emitting module to have an appropriate luminance.

15. A light emitting module testing apparatus, comprising:
-
a sensing unit including a photodiode array sensing light emitted from a light emitting module serving as a test object before being included in a lighting device, the light emitting module having a light source and having a driving unit providing a pre-selected current to drive the light source; and a controller generating luminance information based on light sensed by the sensing unit, and comparing the luminance information with a reference luminance profile identifying, at each of a plurality of respective locations, a respective pre-set reference range of luminance for the respective location to set the pre-selected current value applied by the driving unit provided in the light emitting module to the light source such that the luminance information of light emitted from the light emitting module serving as the test object satisfies the reference luminance profile.
