FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. However, a
technical committee may propose the publication of a technical report when it has collected
data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard, for
example "state of the art".
IEC TR 62595-1-3, which is a technical report, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 110: Electronic displays.
The text of this technical report is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
110/1018/DTR 110/1064/RVDTR
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
– 4 – IEC TR 62595-1-3:2019 IEC 2019
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62595 series, published under the general title Display lighting
unit, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.
IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.
INTRODUCTION
Recent developments in materials for flexible lighting sources (FLSs) with arbitrary shapes
such as organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) have boosted their fabrication process as well
as expanding their applications in various fields, for example electronic displays and wearable
display devices. Since FLSs can emit light in a curved and deformed shape even under
external stress, which is different from that of the devices with rigid substrates, these
characteristics and performances require new evaluation and measurement methods. This
document focuses on common issues of light emission from FLSs such as spatial uniformity of
luminance and colour, and angular distribution of luminance and colour. This document
delivers an archetype of a curved FLS's light emission and its measurement. The intent of this
document is to provide guidance for the development of future measurement standards.

DISPLAY LIGHTING UNIT –
Part 1-3: Lighting units with arbitrary shapes
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62595 focuses on common issues of light emission such as spatial uniformity
of luminance and colour, and angular distribution of luminance and colour, from lighting units
with arbitrary shapes like flexible lighting sources (FLSs). This document provides a model of
light emission from a curved FLS and of light measurement on a curved FLS. Because the
development of flexible liquid crystal panels is in progress (see the notes), the intent of this
document is to provide guidance for the development of future measurement standards. This
document is applicable to FLSs either as light sources, products or elements with arbitrary
shapes of geometrical curvature having different spectral and spatial characteristics of light
emission.
