The measurement methods of FPD flicker rate and response time are introduced, and a system for flicker rate and response time calibration is developed according to the specific traceability requirements from the FPD industry. A standard screen that the brightness, flicker rate and response time of the built-in function signal generator are adjustable is developed. The flicker rate and response time calibration system including the standard screen, high speed photometric detector and high precision oscilloscope is set up. The measurement characteristics of the system is studied and the measurement results are verified. It is shown that this calibration system meets the traceability requirements of measurement standards and can be used for calibration of the display flicker rate and response time.
