TEST METHODS
1. Measure the light intensities(L) when the average illuminance output value(Y) of green pixels Gr is equal to the
standard illuminance output value of 150mV (Y
A
), and when it is equal to half of 150mV, 1/2

. repeat for Gb.
and calculate Sgr, Sgb, and Sg.
The sensitivities for red and blue pixels, Sr and Sb, are also measured in the same way.
2. Adjust the light intensity to 15 times of the value with which Y is Y
A
, then measure the averaged illuminance
output value (Y = Y
SAT
).
3. When the Gr pixel signal value, Ygr is 150mV, mearsure the Gb, R, B pixel signal values, Ygb, Yr, and Yb
respectively. Adjust the light intensity until 500 times of the illumination under which 150 mV of Gr pixels value is
obtained, is reached. Remove the read-out clock and drain the signal in photosensors by electronic shutter
operation during the horizontal blanking time without changing other clocks. Measure the maximum output value
YSM regardless of the pixel type..
4. Measure the light intensity(L
BM
) on which the Y signal output value of the optical black pixels (OBP) is rapidly
increased with the increasing light intensity.

5. Measure the maximum and minimum illuminance output value (Y
MAX
, Y
MIN
) when the light intensity is adjusted
to make Y to be Y
A
.

with the horizontal idling time transfer level as reference, when the device ambient temperature is
60
