Abstract
Mechanical reliability testing of electronic displays may be limited by manual inspection methods. A system is described that synchronizes mechanical stress application with real-time optical analysis. An optical sensor, such as a camera, can monitor a display under load while a computing device (e.g., a server, personal computer, or smartphone) executes an algorithm to detect visual changes indicative of failure. Upon detecting a change that meets pre-configured criteria, for example a threshold for pixel brightness change, the system can generate and transmit a stop signal to the mechanical testing apparatus. This automated, closed-loop approach may reduce latency and subjectivity, allowing for force data to be recorded closer to the moment of initial damage and potentially providing a more repeatable method for characterizing display durability.
