Abstract The structure, measuring principle and applying properties of a contact-type luminance meter are described. And a light source which can provide a uniform diffuse surface is presented and applied to calibrate three contact-type luminance meters. In comparison with the luminance standard in National Institute of Metrology for verifying contact-type luminance meters, this calibrating method shows good traceability and accurate certified value. Finally, the practicality of applying several commonly diffuse surfaces to calibrate contact-type luminance meters is discussed briefly.
