Compact, lightweight, easy-to-use SLR luminance
meters with a wide measuring range
LS-100
Main Features
Flareless SLR optical system for accurate
measurements
The SLR (single-lens-reflex) optical system allows precise aiming
and ensures that the viewfinder shows the exact area to be
measured. The optical system is also virtually flareless, eliminating
the influence of light from outside the measurement area.
Narrow acceptance angle for measurements
of small specimens
Acceptance angles of only 1° for LS-100 and 1/3° for LS-
110 allow accurate measurements of small specimen areas.
In addition, optional close-up lenses can be used to measure
areas as small as ø1.3 mm when using LS-100 and ø0.4
mm when using LS-110.
User calibration and color-correction
functions
To increase the versatility of the LS-100 and LS-110,
both models are equipped with user calibration and color
correction functions. The user calibration function allows the
meter to be calibrated to a user-selected standard instead
of the preset Konica Minolta standard; this function can also
be used to standardize the response of several meters. The
color correction function allows the response of the meter to
be adjusted when measuring colored specimens.
Luminance ratio and peak luminance
measurements
In addition to measurements of the present luminance, the LS-
100 and LS-110 can also determine the percent ratio of the
measured luminance to a luminance value stored in memory
as well as the peak luminance or luminance ratio measured.
RS-232C data communication
Use of the built-in RS-232C interface allows the meter to be
connected to a personal computer.
Lightweight, compact design powered by a
single 9V battery for portability

Relative Spectral Response
Reduction of Flare
Ideally, the relative spectral responsivity of the luminance meter
should match V (λ) of the human eye for photopic vision.
As shown in the graph above, the relative spectral
responsivity of Konica Minolta Luminance Meters LS-100/
LS-110 is close to the CIE spectral luminous efficiency V (λ).

’(CIE«s symbol) ; The degree to which the relative spectral responsivity
matches V (λ) is characterized by means of the error f

’.
The degree to which the influence of light from outside
the defined measuring area is eliminated is an important
factor in the performance of luminance meters. In Konica
Minolta Luminance Meters, the flare factor is kept to below
1.5%, even if an object with
extremely high luminance
is just outside the meter’s
measuring area.
The graph at right shows the
effect when a bright point
is moved from A inside the
measuring area to B just
outside the measuring area.
If the measured value at
A is defined at 100%, the
measured value at B would be
less than 0.1%.
