Description

本発明は、LED照明の分光分布設計方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a spectral distribution design method for LED illumination.

従来、一般的に、光源の演色性(色みえ)の評価には演色評価数を用いている。しかし、この演色性評価方法は、基準光源に対する色みえの忠実性を表す指標で、色みえの鮮やかさや明るさを評価するには十分ではなく、LED光源については、基準光源との色みえの差を評価した視感評価実験との相関が十分ではないとの指摘もあった。色みえの鮮やかさは、例えば特許文献1に示されているような色域面積比によって評価することができるが、色みえの明るさについては評価できない。   Conventionally, a color rendering index is generally used for evaluating the color rendering properties (color appearance) of a light source. However, this color rendering evaluation method is an index that represents the fidelity of the color appearance with respect to the reference light source, and is not sufficient for evaluating the vividness and brightness of the color appearance. For LED light sources, the color appearance of the reference light source is not sufficient. Some pointed out that the correlation with the visual evaluation experiment that evaluated the difference was not sufficient. The vividness of the color appearance can be evaluated by a color gamut area ratio as disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, but the brightness of the color appearance cannot be evaluated.

以下、本発明を実施の形態に基づいて詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments.

本発明では、視感評価により忠実なLED照明の分光分布設計方法を実現する。前述のように、LEDを照明用として用いたときの色の見え方(演色性)に問題点が指摘されている。すなわち、従来は、色の鮮やかさを評価する提案はなされていたが、色の鮮やかさと明るさを同時に十分に評価することは実現されていなかった。さらにLED光源については、基準光源との色みえの差を評価した視感評価実験との相関が十分ではないとの指摘もあった。   In the present invention, a faithful LED illumination spectral distribution design method is realized by visual evaluation. As described above, problems have been pointed out in the appearance of colors (color rendering) when LEDs are used for illumination. That is, conventionally, proposals for evaluating the vividness of colors have been made, but it has not been possible to sufficiently evaluate the vividness and brightness of colors at the same time. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the LED light source does not have a sufficient correlation with the visual evaluation experiment that evaluated the difference in color appearance with the reference light source.

そこで本発明では、視感評価実験によるLED照明下での色みえの印象評価を行い、色みえモデル(CIECAM02-UCS、L表色系)による予測値を比較し、同モデルを使った、視感評価により忠実なLED照明の分光分布設計を行う。 Therefore, in the present invention, an impression evaluation of color appearance under LED lighting is performed by a visual evaluation test, and predicted values by a color appearance model (CIECAM02-UCS, L * a * b * color system) are compared, and the model is compared. Using LED, the spectral distribution design of LED lighting is performed faithfully by visual evaluation.

Then, when the spectral distribution P (λ) of white light when the coefficients k1 to k4 of the following equation are arbitrarily changed within a range that is not a negative number is expressed by the following equation (1):

知覚される色の見えの各属性を定量化させる色の見えモデルとして、CIECAM02-UCSが提案されている。ここで、色の見えの属性としては、色相角(H)、ブライトネス(Q)、明るさ(J)、カラフルネス〔鮮やかさ〕(M)、クロマ(C)、飽和度(s)、色相(h)等がある。   CIECAM02-UCS has been proposed as a color appearance model that quantifies each attribute of the perceived color appearance. Here, the color appearance attributes include hue angle (H), brightness (Q), brightness (J), colorfulness (brilliance) (M), chroma (C), saturation (s), hue. (H) etc.

また、L表色系は、CIEが1976年に推奨した均等色空間であり、物体色の表示に広く用いられている。色のみえの属性としては、CIE1976明度(L)、abクロマ(C ab)、ab色相角(hab)等がある。 The L * a * b * color system is a uniform color space recommended by the CIE in 1976 and is widely used for displaying object colors. As attributes of the color check, there are CIE1976 lightness (L * ), ab chroma (C * ab ), ab hue angle (h ab ), and the like.

前記式(1)は、視感評価実験によるLED照明下での色みえの印象評価の結果に基づいてその忠実性を確認して求めたものである。ここで、視感評価実験について述べる。   The formula (1) is obtained by confirming the fidelity based on the result of the impression evaluation of color appearance under the LED illumination by the visual evaluation test. Here, a visual evaluation experiment will be described.

視感評価実験は、3種類のLED(A、B、C)と電球形蛍光ランプと白熱電球の5種類の光源を用い、試料光源用ブース(間口0.5m、奥行き0.5m、高さ1.2m)と基準光源用ブース(同サイズ)を併設させたセットで行った。基準光源としてはD65蛍光ランプを用い、一対比較により評価を行った。両ブースに同じ評価用色票(15色)を1枚ずつ提示し、被験者は、その見えを比較して評価した。色票の載置面の照度は500lxに設定した。評価の方法はSD法(semantic differential method)で行い、相対的な見えの印象の程度を20個の形容詞に関して、「全くそう思わない(1)」〜「非常にそう思う(7)」の7段階で被験者に答えさせた。形容詞:違って見える、鮮やか、明るい、赤みが強い、緑みが強い、自然である、好ましい、・・・等である。例えば、「右側の色と比べて、左側の色の方が、明るい」等の評価である。被験者は、大学生45名(男22名、女23名)とした。   In the visual evaluation experiment, three types of LEDs (A, B, C), a bulb-type fluorescent lamp and an incandescent bulb were used, and a sample light source booth (frontage 0.5 m, depth 0.5 m, height) 1.2m) and a standard light source booth (same size). A D65 fluorescent lamp was used as a reference light source, and evaluation was performed by paired comparison. The same evaluation color chart (15 colors) was presented to both booths one by one, and the subjects compared the appearance and evaluated. The illuminance on the color chart mounting surface was set to 500 lx. The evaluation method is the SD method (semantic differential method), and the degree of relative visual impression of 20 adjectives is 7 from “I do not think so at all (1)” to “I think so very much (7)”. Subjects were asked to answer at the stage. Adjectives: look different, bright, bright, strong reddish, strong greenish, natural, preferred, etc. For example, the evaluation is “the left color is brighter than the right color”. The subjects were 45 university students (22 men and 23 women).

実験結果は、「(基準光源と)違って見える」評定値の光源による差異とした。その結果を図1に示す。   The result of the experiment was the difference due to the rating value light source that “looks different from the reference light source”. The result is shown in FIG.

前記5種類の光源についての全ての色票について分散分析を行ったところ、3種類のLED(A、B、C)については、色票No.2、3、5、9、11、13、15では有意な差が生じなかったが、それ以外のケースでは分光分布による色みえの印象の違いが生じていた。   When an analysis of variance was performed for all the color charts for the five types of light sources, color chart Nos. No significant difference occurred in 2, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13, and 15, but in other cases, there was a difference in color appearance due to the spectral distribution.

ここで、CIECAM02-UCSによる色みえ予測について述べると、この予測モデルは、CIE(国際照明委員会)の提案している色みえモデルCIECAM02-UCSに基づいた均等色空間を利用するもので、英国Leeds大学が提案している。本モデルの計算手順を、図2に示す。   Here, the color prediction by CIECAM02-UCS is described. This prediction model uses the uniform color space based on the color preview model CIECAM02-UCS proposed by CIE (International Lighting Commission). Proposed by Leeds University. The calculation procedure of this model is shown in FIG.

三刺激値X,Y,Z、白色点の三刺激値Xw,Yw,Zwと、順応輝度L,順応の程度D,周囲の条件を求め、色順応,非線形特性,反対色を計算して、色の見えの属性(H,J,C,Q,M,sなどを求め、均等色空間への変換を行った後、色差ΔE’を算出する。 Obtain tristimulus values X, Y, Z, white point tristimulus values Xw, Yw, Zw, adaptation luminance L A , degree of adaptation D, and ambient conditions, calculate chromatic adaptation, nonlinear characteristics, and opposite color Then, after obtaining the color appearance attributes (H, J, C, Q, M, s, etc.) and converting them to the uniform color space, the color difference ΔE ′ is calculated.

図3−1に、実験結果とCIECAM02-UCSによる予測値と従来法(U色空間の式差)による予測値を比較して示す。図3−1において、順応の程度D=0(色順応をしていない)として計算してある。 FIG. 3A shows comparison between the experimental result, the predicted value by CIECAM02-UCS, and the predicted value by the conventional method (formula difference in U * V * W * color space). In FIG. 3A, calculation is performed with the degree of adaptation D = 0 (no chromatic adaptation).

図3−1より、CIECAM02-UCSによる予測値は、従来法(U色空間の式差)に比べて実験値との良い相関を示していることが分かる。 As can be seen from FIG. 3A, the predicted value according to CIECAM02-UCS shows a better correlation with the experimental value than the conventional method (difference in U * V * W * color space).

また、図3−2に、実験結果とL表色系による予測値を示す。L表色系では、色差をΔE abで表す。L表色系による予測値も実験値との良い相関を示していることが分かる。 FIG. 3-2 shows experimental results and predicted values based on the L * a * b * color system. In the L * a * b * color system, the color difference is represented by ΔE * ab . It can be seen that the predicted value by the L * a * b * color system also shows a good correlation with the experimental value.

主成分分析による実験データの評価について考察してみると、主成分分析により、形容詞間の関係を把握し、その評価次元を明らかにすることができる。これにより観察者が、どのような観点で各光源で照明された色票を評価しているのかを知ることができる。分析の結果、主成分として、以下のものが抽出される。   Considering the evaluation of experimental data by principal component analysis, principal component analysis can grasp the relationship between adjectives and clarify the evaluation dimension. Thereby, the observer can know from what viewpoint the color chart illuminated by each light source is evaluated. As a result of the analysis, the following are extracted as principal components.

・第1主成分(鮮やか・明るい・好ましい・快い・華やかな・清潔)
・第2主成分(自然である・気がやすまる・やわらかな・落ち着いた・しっとりした・まろやかな)
・第3主成分(青みが強い・黄みが強い(−))
・第4主成分(重い)
・第5主成分(赤みが強い(−)・緑みが強い)
この結果によると、たとえば、鮮やかさ、明るさ、好ましさなどの形容詞については、第1主成分であらわされる評価次元で色票を評価していると分析できる。
・ First main component (bright, bright, preferable, pleasant, gorgeous, clean)
・ Second main component (natural, relaxed, soft, calm, moist, mellow)
・ 3rd main component (strong blue and yellow (-))
・ 4th main component (heavy)
・ Fifth main component (strong redness (-), strong greenness)
According to this result, for example, for adjectives such as vividness, brightness, and preference, it can be analyzed that the color chart is evaluated in the evaluation dimension expressed by the first principal component.

ここで、第1主成分(鮮やか、明るい、好ましい、・・・)に着目し、CIECAM02のブライトネス(明るさ)Q、カラフルネス(鮮やか)Mまたは、L表色系のCIE1976明度(L)、abクロマ(C ab)を説明変数、主成分得点Yを目的変数とする重回帰分析を行った。主成分得点Yは下記式で表される。 Here, paying attention to the first main component (bright, bright, preferable,...), CIECAM02 brightness Q, colorfulness M, or L * a * b * color system CIE1976 Multiple regression analysis was performed with lightness (L * ) and ab chroma (C * ab ) as explanatory variables and principal component score Y as an objective variable. The principal component score Y is expressed by the following formula.

Yn=a+a・ΔQn+a・ΔMn・・・(2)
Yn’=a’+a’・ΔLn+a’・ΔC abn・・・(2)’
(上記式中a,a,a,a’,a’,a’は回帰係数であり主成分得点への寄与を表し、ΔQnは色票番号n(n=1〜15)に対する基準光源とのブライトネスの差、ΔMnは色票番号nに対する基準光源とのカラフルネスの差、ΔLnは色票番号n(n=1〜15)に対する基準光源とのCIE1976明度の差、ΔC abnは色票番号nに対する基準光源とのabクロマの差である。Yn、Yn’、ΔQn、ΔMn、ΔLn、ΔC abnは、規格化を行った。ここで規格化とは、S1〜S15(Sは、Y、ΔQ、ΔM、ΔLまたはΔC abを表す)の平均値Saveと標準偏差Sσを算出し、S’n=(Sn−Save)/Sσの操作を施すことである。
Yn = a 0 + a 1 · ΔQn + a 2 · ΔMn (2)
Yn ′ = a 0 ′ + a 1 ′ · ΔL * n + a 2 ′ · ΔC * ab n (2) ′
(In the above formula, a 0 , a 1 , a 2 , a 0 ′, a 1 ′, a 2 ′ are regression coefficients representing the contribution to the principal component score, and ΔQn is a color chart number n (n = 1 to 15). ) Brightness difference from the reference light source with respect to the color chart number n, ΔM * is the difference in colorfulness from the reference light source with respect to the color chart number n, and ΔL * n is the difference in CIE1976 brightness with the reference light source with respect to the color chart number n (n = 1 to 15). , [Delta] C * ab n is the difference ab chroma with reference light source for the color chart number n .Yn, Yn ', ΔQn, ΔMn, ΔL * n, ΔC * ab n is subjected to normalization. here standard The calculation means the average value Save and standard deviation Sσ of S1 to S15 (S represents Y, ΔQ, ΔM, ΔL * or ΔC * ab ), and S′n = (Sn−Save) / Sσ Is to perform the operation.

CIECAM02を使った回帰式によって、第1主成分を次式で再現することができる。   The first principal component can be reproduced by the following equation by the regression equation using CIECAM02.

LED A: Yn=0.40ΔQn+0.26ΔMn・・・(3)
LED B: Yn=0.42ΔQn+0.28ΔMn・・・(4)
LED C: Yn=0.36ΔQn+0.21ΔMn・・・(5)
電球形蛍光ランプ: Yn=0.75ΔQn+0.01ΔMn・・・(6)
電球: Yn=0.43ΔQn+0.39ΔMn・・・(7)
また、L表色系を使った回帰式によって、第1主成分を次式で再現することができる。
LED A: Yn = 0.40ΔQn + 0.26ΔMn (3)
LED B: Yn = 0.42ΔQn + 0.28ΔMn (4)
LED C: Yn = 0.36ΔQn + 0.21ΔMn (5)
Light bulb type fluorescent lamp: Yn = 0.75ΔQn + 0.01ΔMn (6)
Light bulb: Yn = 0.43ΔQn + 0.39ΔMn (7)
Further, the first principal component can be reproduced by the following equation by a regression equation using the L * a * b * color system.

LED A: Yn=0.51ΔLn+0.12ΔC abn・・・(3)’
LED B: Yn=0.69ΔLn+0.03ΔC abn・・・(4)’
LED C: Yn=0.60ΔLn+0.03ΔC abn・・・(5)’
電球形蛍光ランプ: Yn=0.64ΔLn−0.003ΔC abn・・・(6)’
電球: Yn=0.67ΔLn+0.11ΔC abn・・・(7)’
CIECAM02による第1主成分(鮮やか、明るい)得点の重回帰分析の結果を図4−1に示す。第1主成分得点は実験値であり、回帰式は計算値である。図4−1で示すように、色票番号9〜15(鮮やかな赤、黄、緑、青、肌色、木の葉の色、日本人の肌色に対応)に限定すると、実験値との良い相関を示している。また、上記と同様にL表色系のL、C abによる重回帰分析の結果を図4−2に示す。CIECAM02による回帰式と同様に、色票番号9〜15について、実験値との良い相関を示している。
LED A: Yn = 0.51ΔL * n + 0.12ΔC * ab n (3) ′
LED B: Yn = 0.69ΔL * n + 0.03ΔC * ab n (4) ′
LED C: Yn = 0.60ΔL * n + 0.03ΔC * ab n (5) ′
Light bulb-type fluorescent lamp: Yn = 0.64ΔL * n−0.003ΔC * ab n (6) ′
Light bulb: Yn = 0.67ΔL * n + 0.11ΔC * ab n (7) ′
The result of multiple regression analysis of the first principal component (bright and bright) score by CIECAM02 is shown in Fig. 4-1. The first principal component score is an experimental value, and the regression equation is a calculated value. As shown in FIG. 4-1, when limited to color chart numbers 9 to 15 (corresponding to vivid red, yellow, green, blue, skin color, leaf color, Japanese skin color), good correlation with experimental values is obtained. Show. Similarly to the above, the results of multiple regression analysis using L * and C * ab in the L * a * b * color system are shown in FIG. Similar to the regression equation by CIECAM02, the color chart numbers 9 to 15 show a good correlation with the experimental values.

この結果を用い、CIECAM02-UCSの色差(ΔEn’)、ブライトネスの差(ΔQn)、カラフルネスの差(ΔMn)を指標とした分光分布設計を行った。ここで、ΔEn’を最小とすると、基準光源(CIE昼光)の色みえに近い光源が実現でき、a△Qn+a△Mnを最大とすると、特定の色の明るさ、鮮やかさを増した光源が実現できる。 Using this result, spectral distribution design was performed using CIECAM02-UCS color difference (ΔEn ′), brightness difference (ΔQn), and colorfulness difference (ΔMn) as indices. Here, when ΔEn ′ is minimized, a light source close to the color appearance of the reference light source (CIE daylight) can be realized, and when a 1 ΔQn + a 2 ΔMn is maximized, the brightness and vividness of a specific color are increased. Can be realized.

設計条件は、次のように設定することができる。   The design conditions can be set as follows.

・白色LED(青色LED+黄色蛍光体)と単色LED(赤、緑、青緑、青色)の混合光源
・相関色温度は、例えば、5000K(昼白色)に保つ
・色の変化(色相差Δh)をなるべく小さく抑える
・上記の条件で、「ΔE’を最小」、または「ΔYn=a△Qn+a△Mnを最大」となるように最適化計算を行う。最適化手法としては、たとえば、Excel(登録商標)ソルバーで用いられている一般化簡約勾配(GRG)法などを利用することができます。
-Mixed light source of white LED (blue LED + yellow phosphor) and single color LED (red, green, blue green, blue)-Correlation color temperature is maintained at, for example, 5000K (lunch white)-Color change (hue difference Δh) The optimization calculation is performed so that “ΔE ′ is minimized” or “ΔYn = a 1 ΔQn + a 2 ΔMn is maximized” under the above conditions. As an optimization method, for example, the generalized reduced gradient (GRG) method used in Excel (registered trademark) solver can be used.

回帰係数a、aを決定する方法は、例えば、次の2通り方法のいずれかを選択できることができる。
(1)LED A、LED B、LED Cの第一主成分得点を重回帰分析した結果の回帰係数の平均値を用いる。
As a method for determining the regression coefficients a 1 and a 2 , for example, one of the following two methods can be selected.
(1) The average value of the regression coefficients as a result of multiple regression analysis of the first principal component scores of LED A, LED B, and LED C is used.

LED Aの回帰式は、0.40ΔQ+0.26ΔM
LED Bの回帰式は、0.42ΔQ+0.28ΔM
LED Cの回帰式は、0.36ΔQ+0.21ΔM
であるので、a=(0.40+0.42+0.36)/3≒0.39
=(0.26+0.28+0.21)/3≒0.25
となる。
(2)LED A、LED B、LED Cのうち、目的とする色票のΔYn値が最大であるLEDの回帰係数を用いる。
The regression equation for LED A is 0.40ΔQ + 0.26ΔM
The regression equation for LED B is 0.42ΔQ + 0.28ΔM
The regression equation for LED C is 0.36ΔQ + 0.21ΔM
Therefore, a 1 = (0.40 + 0.42 + 0.36) /3≈0.39
a 2 = (0.26 + 0.28 + 0.21) /3≈0.25
It becomes.
(2) Among the LEDs A, LED B, and LED C, the regression coefficient of the LED having the maximum ΔYn value of the target color chart is used.

図5の例では、n=9(鮮やかな赤)のΔYn値を目的としているので、ΔY9の最大値を持つLED Cの回帰係数a1=0.36、a2=0.21となる。   In the example of FIG. 5, since the target is the ΔYn value of n = 9 (bright red), the regression coefficients a1 = 0.36 and a2 = 0.21 of the LED C having the maximum value of ΔY9.

白色、赤、緑、青緑、青LEDの分光分布例を図6に示す。   FIG. 6 shows an example of spectral distribution of white, red, green, blue-green, and blue LEDs.

この例では、a=0.39、a=0.25としている。 In this example, a 1 = 0.39 and a 2 = 0.25.

第1のLED照明の分光分布の設計例では、白色LED(青色LED+黄色蛍光体)+赤色LED+青緑LEDを用い、昼光(D50)との色差ΔE’を市販されている高効率LED(青色LED+黄色蛍光体)の例に比べて低減させた(自然光の見え方に近い)。また、市販されている高演色LED(青色LED+RG蛍光体)の例に対しても色票番号12(鮮やかな青)の色差ΔE’を低減している。各LEDの分光分布例を図7に示す。また、ΔE’を低減させる様子を図8に示す。色相差と彩度差を低減させる様子を図9に示す。   In the design example of the spectral distribution of the first LED illumination, a white LED (blue LED + yellow phosphor) + red LED + blue green LED is used, and a high-efficiency LED that is commercially available with a color difference ΔE ′ from daylight (D50). Compared to the example of (blue LED + yellow phosphor), it was reduced (close to natural light appearance). Further, the color difference ΔE ′ of the color chart number 12 (brilliant blue) is also reduced with respect to an example of a commercially available high color rendering LED (blue LED + RG phosphor). An example of the spectral distribution of each LED is shown in FIG. FIG. 8 shows how ΔE ′ is reduced. FIG. 9 shows how the hue difference and saturation difference are reduced.

第2のLED照明の分光分布の設計例では、白色LED(青色LED+黄色蛍光体)+RGB−LEDを用い、赤色・緑色の第1主成分(明るさ・鮮やかさ・好ましさ)を増大させ、色相変化をごくわずかとした。各LEDの分光分布例を図10に示す。赤色(色票番号9)・緑色(色票番号11)の第1主成分(明るさ・鮮やかさ・好ましさ)を市販高効率LEDの例と市販高演色LEDの例と比較して増大させる様子を図11に示す。赤色(色票番号9)・緑色(色票番号11)の彩度を市販高効率LEDの例と市販高演色LEDの例と比較して増大させ、かつ色票番号1〜12のD50(同じ相関色温度の自然光)に対する色相変化を市販高効率LEDの例と比較して小さくさせる様子を図12、図13に示す。   In the design example of the spectral distribution of the second LED illumination, white LEDs (blue LEDs + yellow phosphors) + RGB-LEDs are used to increase the first principal component (brightness, vividness, and preference) of red and green. The hue change was negligible. An example of the spectral distribution of each LED is shown in FIG. The first main component (brightness, vividness, and preference) of red (color chart number 9) and green (color chart number 11) is increased compared to the example of commercially available high-efficiency LED and the example of commercially available high color rendering LED FIG. The saturation of red (color chart number 9) and green (color chart number 11) is increased in comparison with the example of commercially available high-efficiency LED and the example of commercially available high color rendering LED, and D50 (same as color chart numbers 1 to 12) FIGS. 12 and 13 show how the hue change with respect to the natural light of the correlated color temperature is made smaller than that of the commercially available high-efficiency LED.

上記設計例によるLED照明の試作を行い、視感評価を行った結果を図15および図16に示す。視感評価実験の方法は、上記で述べた方法と同じである。   FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 show the results of the trial evaluation of the LED lighting according to the above design example and the visual evaluation. The method of the visual evaluation experiment is the same as the method described above.

図15は第1のLED照明の分光分布の設計例による試作品の評価結果である。図15から、本設計方法によるLED照明は、市販高効率LEDと比較して、概ね"違って見える”評定値が小さくなっている、すなわち、基準光(昼光)との色見えに近いことが確認できる。   FIG. 15 shows the evaluation result of the prototype according to the design example of the spectral distribution of the first LED illumination. From FIG. 15, the LED lighting by this design method has a smaller rating value that “looks different” in general compared to commercially available high-efficiency LEDs, that is, it is close to the color appearance of the reference light (daylight). Can be confirmed.

図16は第2のLED照明の分光分布の設計例による試作品の評価結果である。図16から、本設計方法によるLED照明は、市販高効率LEDと比較して、色票番号9(鮮やかな赤)に関する"鮮やかさ”および”明るさ”評定値が大きくなっている、すなわち、赤に関して第1主成分(明るさ・鮮やかさ)を増大させることが確認できる。   FIG. 16 shows the evaluation result of the prototype according to the design example of the spectral distribution of the second LED illumination. From FIG. 16, the LED illumination according to the present design method has a higher “Vividness” and “Brightness” rating values for the color chart number 9 (bright red) than the commercially available high-efficiency LEDs, that is, It can be confirmed that the first main component (brightness / brightness) is increased with respect to red.

以上より、本発明によるLED照明の分光分布設計による効果が確認される。   As mentioned above, the effect by the spectral distribution design of LED illumination by this invention is confirmed.
