1. A system for characterizing a micro light emitting diode (microLED) suspension comprising;
a transparent container having a vertical center axis;
a plurality of light emitting devices having a predetermined output light intensity, directed towards the center axis of the container and spaced a first predetermined distance from each other along a vertical first axis parallel to the center axis;
a plurality of light detection devices spaced the first predetermined distance from each other along a vertical second axis parallel to the center axis, with each light detection device having an input directed towards a corresponding light emitting device output and an output to provide an electrical optical density signal responsive to measured light intensity;
and, a monitoring device having an input to accept the optical density signals, the monitoring device comparing the intensities of light associated with the optical density signals and supplying an output responsive to the comparison;
wherein the container includes a suspension of microLEDs;
and, wherein the monitoring device supplies an output selected from the group consisting of a microLED homogeneity measurement and a calculation of a microLED count per unit volume of suspension.
