ICDM Main Page
(International Committee for Display Metrology)
The ICDM is an organization of top display metrologists and specialists of related sciences
whose goal is to produce standards for measurement and evaluation of displays in a uniform and consistent manner. This is so you can be sure that when a display is measured per the standard of the ICDM, you can have confidence that it was measured properly and the measured numerical results are meaningful.
The ICDM accomplished its goal and produced the IDMS1 (Information Display Measurement Standard 1) on June 1, 2012. This extraordinary document is available for everyone -- for free -- via download on this page. Click on the graphic below.
You will also find test patterns linked via this page that support the IDMS and are good for general usage for characterizing displays, whether used for measurement or visual assessment. Those are also available for free.
The ICDM is a committee in the display industry's predominant display association, SID (Society for Information Display), and is part of the SID Definitions and Standards Committee.
