Abstract:
An object is to improve the resolution of superficial blood vessels during narrow band imaging while maintaining excellent color reproducibility during white light imaging. An observation device (1) includes a light source unit (10) capable of adjusting a quantity of 390-490 nm illuminating light according to a B1 range and a B2 range having a longer wavelength than the B1 range, and an imaging element (8) that images reflected light from a subject irradiated with illuminating light. The light source unit (10) changes the light quantity ratio of the B1 range to the B2 range depending on whether white light imaging is conducted or narrow band imaging is conducted. The imaging element (8) includes RGB color filters arranged according to pixels and the R color filter transmits more light in an R range and the B1 range than light in the second B range and has a spectral characteristic that satisfies the following conditional formulae: 0 Srb 2 / Srr ≤ 0.1 0.5 ≤ Sbb 1 / Srb 1 ≤ 2 Srr, Srb1, Srb2, and Sbb1 respectively represent sensitivity of an R pixel to the R range, sensitivity of the R pixel to the B1 range, sensitivity of the R pixel to the B2 range, and sensitivity of a B pixel to the B1 range.

Abstract:
An approach to noninvasively and remotely detect the presence, location, and/or quantity of a target substance in a scene via a spectral imaging system comprising a spectral filter array and image capture array. For a chosen target substance, a spectral filter array is provided that is sensitive to selected wavelengths characterizing the electromagnetic spectrum of the target substance. Elements of the image capture array are optically aligned with elements of the spectral filter array to simultaneously capture spectrally filtered images. These filtered images identify the spectrum of the target substance. Program instructions analyze the acquired images to compute information about the target substance throughout the scene. A color-coded output image may be displayed on a smartphone or computing device to indicate spatial and quantitative information about the detected target substance. The system desirably includes a library of interchangeable spectral filter arrays, each sensitive to one or more target substances.

Abstract:
Provided are an endoscope system capable of improving luminance and an S/N ratio of a normal observation image that is obtained in a special observation mode, a processor device of the endoscope system, and a method of operating the endoscope system. In a special observation mode, after first illumination light is radiated, some of a plurality of pixel rows of an imaging element (39) are reset en bloc. Illumination light is switched from the first illumination light to second illumination light, the second illumination light is radiated, and then, a turned-off state is reached. During this turn-off period, signal reading is sequentially performed from all pixel rows. An image processing unit (44) generates a normal observation image on the basis of a first imaging signal read from the pixel row exposed by the first and second illumination light without being subjected to resetting. Further, the image processing unit (44) generates an oxygen saturation image on the basis of a second imaging signal read from the pixel row subjected to the resetting and exposed by only the second illumination light, and the first imaging signal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes nanostructured light extraction color filter laminates, and articles and methods of using nanostructured light extraction color filter laminates for the fabrication of an OLED including a nanostructure, using lamination techniques. Nanostructured OLED devices can exhibit enhanced light extraction efficiency. The methods involve transfer and/or replication of a film, layer, or coating in order to form a nanostructured surface that is in optical contact with the emitting surface of an OLED in, for example, a top emitting or a bottom emitting active matrix OLED (TE-AMOLED or BE-AMOLED) device. The articles having enhanced light extraction efficiency can be of particular use in color-by-white (CBW) OLED displays, which use white-light spectrum OLEDs with a color filter array.
