APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING AN ELECTRO OPTICAL MEASURING DEVICE, ESPECIALLY A COLORIMETER ON A MONITOR

摘要

A mounting for a colorimeter enables it to make measurements of light emanating from a color monitor screen without affecting the colors produced by the screen or allowing the entry of ambient light which can affect measurements by the colorimeter (24). Pressure applied against a screen, especially an LCD color monitor, can cause changes in the color of the light emanating from the screen. The mounting apparatus is provided by a plate or pad (10) of compliant material, having an opening to which the colorimeter (24) is attached. The surface of the plate (10) is disposed against the screen (16) of the monitor (18). Since the pad (10) is compliant, it seals the colorimeter (24) from the entry of ambient light. A strap (30) can be expanded, and holds the pad (10) on the monitor (18) and against the screen (16). The strap (30) is attached to the pad (10) and is placed around the back of the monitor (18).
