Patent

CA 2155987

This invention relates to an improvement in a portable test pattern illuminator for illuminating a reference image so that the colour and tonal range of a camera focussed on the reference image can be balanced to enable the camera to produce a faithful reproduction of objects in a light source having similar characteristics of the general type having a screen with an opening; means for supporting a reference image object in said opening; and a light diffuser panel for transmitting light from a source to the reference object. The improvement consists wherein the reference object is supported by the means for supporting the reference object in parallel relation to the surface of the light diffuser panel. Yet a further improvement comprises providing a diffuser panel which has a peripheral non- specular reflector extending around its perimeter; said peripheral non-specular reflector having a non-specular reflective surface of substantially neutral coloration to reflect non-specular diffused light onto the marginal areas of the diffuser panel to achieve a more even light distribution across the face of the diffuser panel in use. Yet a further improvement comprises mounting a specular reflector at the back of the screen to reflect light from a source to the diffuser panel's surface, the plane of said specular reflector being at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane of the screen, whereby the length of the light path from the source to the diffuser panel's surface is about the same for the full depth of the diffuser panel's surface.
