Definitions
- the present invention relates to headlamps, and more particularly to headlamps of the type that can be used for stage or installation lighting, generally in show business.
- Headlamps for producing light effects typically use mercury vapor lamps as white light sources and subordinate gobo elements used as dianegatives or slides to produce a color light effect on a projection plane, such as a wall or canvas or other surface.
- resting gobo elements or movable gobo elements, such as gobo wheels can be used here to change the light effect.
- the gobo elements are designed to filter out a specific color spectrum from the white light emitted by the mercury vapor lamp, for example, such that the output light is then, for example, a red star, if the gobo element is otherwise non-transmissive to light, however, has a star with a red color filter.
- a blue star lighting effect can be generated, for example, if the gobo element is designed to be non-transmissive except for a blue filter.
- a disadvantage of this approach is that the efficiency of light generation, especially when a colored light effect is desired, is very low. If, for example, a red light effect is produced from a mercury vapor lamp with a red gobo, only a proportion of 10% of the light intensity at the end will be available as a headlight output as red light. This is problematic in that the existing gobo elements are very much due to the Lichtauflieizens what a special cooling of the gobo elements required, for example, must be done by fans and thus generates additional space, additional costs, additional weight and additional noise.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a more efficient concept for generating light effects.
- the present invention is based on the finding that, in contrast to the prior art, in which only a subtractive color mixer in the form of a gobo element of a white light source has been connected, now an additive color mixer as a light source with the subtractive color mixer in the form of a Gobo element is combined.
- the efficiency is increased because the additive color mixer, which may be formed for example in the form of a 3-color LED lamp, wherein the individual colors are controlled independently by driving the individual LED elements, are matched to the color transmission properties of the subtractive color mixer can.
- the subtractive color mixer may be such that it has at least two different transmission colors, so that when using the same subtractive color mixer alone by different control of the individual lamps in the additive color mixer different color effects can be generated.
- a particular implementation is also not to place the transmission colors of the subtractive color mixer on the primary colors of the additive color mixer, for example on red, green, blue of an RGB LED color mixer, but on intermediate colors, such as in yellow. Then, by appropriately driving the additive color mixer, the two components colors of yellow, d. H. red and green individually using the same pattern or pattern of the gobo element.
- the headlamp is designed to provide a light output of at least 3000 lumens from the additive color mixer, e.g. As an LED source, to meet a lighting property or a Spotlighteigenschaft. Due to thermal problems, it may also be advantageous to have a maximum light output of less than 8000 lumens.
- Fig. 1 shows an additive color mixer 10 and a downstream subtractive color mixer 12 within a headlight 14 with a headlight housing 16.
- a lens 18 is further housed, which is adjustable by motors (not shown).
- the orientation of the headlamp 14 is also by motors that are in Fig. 1 not shown, also preferably adjustable, preferably in a rotational axis and a pivot axis.
- the headlamp further includes an LED controller 20 within the housing 16. More specifically, it is preferred that the additive color mixer is formed as a tri-color LED lamp, with it being preferred that the 3-LED colors be red, green, and blue are.
- RGB LED lamps are also usable, such as yellow, cyan, magenta, however, due to the availability and the greater output power, RGB LED lamps are preferred.
- the individual LEDs are independently controllable, by control signals which can be input via a control input 22.
- the subtractive color mixer 12 preferably comprises a coated glass gobo, and more particularly a glass gobo with two or more layers.
- the present invention thus relates to a combination of a multi-color LED light source (usually RGB) and multi-color gobos.
- RGB multi-color LED light source
- Washlight this is now about a spot, the pattern, so the gobo pattern can depict sharply.
- Such gobos can be fitted in a gobo wheel, the gobo wheel being rotatable in a headlight to bring different gobo elements into the light path 24, which represents a particular color from the RGB color space due to the setting of the Single light sources has been generated via the control input 22.
- the light 24 is "treated" in the subtractive color mixer such that the color of the output light beam 26 from the subtractive color mixer is effectively a subset of the color of the beam 24 from the RGB color space.
- the optics 18 finally generates from the incident light beam 26, the output light beam 28 having sufficient power to have illumination quality.
- Gobos are typically applied to a refractory material.
- One form of gobos are thin metal plates of less than 0.5 mm thickness, from which the forms to be projected are separated out, for example by etching or by laser or watercut. The achievable accuracy is low because there are certain minimum ridge widths.
- a pattern to be projected must always contain support webs for the inner surface. The resulting projections are always monochrome and can only be colored as a whole with the color mixing unit of the projector in one color.
- a light-impermeable layer for example of chromium or aluminum
- a heat-resistant support made of thin borosilicate glass (usually 1.1 mm to 1.2 mm). Thereafter, it is coated with a photosensitive resist, exposed by laser exposure pattern, developed, etched the pattern from the metal layer and the Abdecklack removed. The whole thing can also be produced by removing the metal layer directly by laser exposure.
- multicolored glass gobos which are preferred for use in the present invention, so in the headlamp invention.
- One variant consists of arranging a plurality of glass carriers in succession, which are each coated with a color layer and a color partial image imaged therein. Since the subpictures have a distance along the optical axis, because of the glass material thickness, a simultaneous focusing on all colors is not possible. So there is a certain blurring effect. This problem can be avoided by arranging only two carriers so that the coated sides touch each other. A partial image is applied mirror-inverted. This restricts the number of coating colors back to two colors.
- Another more complex variant is to successively apply several layers to a common glass substrate and etch out the partial images. Since each new layer can only be applied when the previous pattern has already been etched out of its layer, this is a time-consuming process that also requires high precision. However, the achievable results are particularly advantageous.
- the WO 98/00670 A1 discloses a method of making a gobo and further discloses a gobo made by this method wherein single color components are arranged in parallel planes with at least two of these planes separated by a transparent substrate.
- the gobo comprises a plurality of superimposed plate-shaped and transparent substrates, each substrate having a dichroic surface coating to be a color filter. Combinations of color filters are capable of producing the colors of the multi-color structure.
- the color filter (or more in CMY systems) transmits only a narrow band of irradiated white light and reflects the rest back into the exterior of the luminaire, the less light is transmitted, the more is driven by the respective filter in the beam path.
- the current in the respective LED increases or, in the case of PWM driving, the plus-pause ratio.
- Color intensity and light intensity increase in contrast to the prior art thus simultaneously. This change in color and brightness behavior is unfamiliar and is therefore perceived by the viewer as particularly interesting and different.
- the light beam of this system usually receives only three or four different peak wavelengths, to which the colors of the gobo can preferably be perfectly adapted. The color impression is therefore much cleaner and more intense color, since there are no unused intermediate wavelengths in contrast to the use of a mercury vapor lamp or a white light source.
- the two other points would still be a bit visible, since the dichroic filters of the color mixing stage are not narrow-band enough to completely blank out all intermediate wavelengths of the discharge lamp.
- the usable brightness would be lowest if the largest color purity of a single color would be irradiated, since then the filter blocks most of the light.
- the subtractive color mixer used is a gobo coated with two different layers, the layers having two different transmission colors and others Colors outside the transmission colors are not transparent.
- the transmission colors of the gobo are adjusted to the basic colors that are present in the LED lamp, as shown, for example, in the upper left corner of FIG Fig. 2 is shown.
- color filters of the individual Gobo coatings can be arranged one behind the other, so that at the end of a mixed color arises, which exists when the RGB source emits the two colors of which the mixed color is composed simultaneously.
- a light change or a change in the control of the RGB color source is made, specifically matched to the colors of the LED light source, so that at one time the one transmission color of a Gobo coating is emitted and at a later time the other transmission color the other Gobo coating is emitted.
- the transmission color of a gobo-coating does not match the single color of a single LED element, it is preferred to activate the first color of the mixed color at a first time and not the other colors, and it is preferred to use the other color at a second time to activate the mixed color and not the other colors respectively, and it is further preferred to activate both colors at a third time to produce the actual mixed color. All this happens without gobo change.
- Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 Various controls with different colors, as they can be made sequentially, are in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 shown, where Fig. 2 Three different gobos with different three coatings each, depending on the implementation, as it is right in Fig. 2 is shown to be charged with different light.
- Fig. 3 Figure 12 also shows another implementation of a gobo element with three coatings, which is also driven by seven different states.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf Scheinwerfer und insbesondere auf Scheinwerfer, wie sie für die Beleuchtung für Bühnen oder Installationen eingesetzt werden können, also allgemein im Showgeschäft.The present invention relates to headlamps, and more particularly to headlamps of the type that can be used for stage or installation lighting, generally in show business.
Scheinwerfer zur Erzeugung von Lichteffekten verwenden typischerweise QuecksilberDampflampen als Weißlichtquellen und nachgeordnete Gobo-Elemente, die als Dianegative oder Diapositive eingesetzt werden, um einen Farblichteffekt auf einer Projektionsebene, wie beispielsweise einer Wand oder einer Leinwand oder einer anderen Fläche, zu erzeugen. Insbesondere können hier ruhende Gobo-Elemente oder bewegliche Gobo-Elemente, wie beispielsweise Gobo-Räder eingesetzt werden, um den Lichteffekt zu ändern. Die Gobo-Elemente sind ausgebildet, um aus dem von der Quecksilber-Dampflampe beispielsweise emittierten weißen Licht ein bestimmtes Farbspektrum herauszufiltern, derart, dass das Ausgangslicht dann zum Beispiel ein roter Stern ist, wenn das Gobo-Element ansonsten nicht-transmittierend für Licht ist, jedoch einen Stern mit einem Rot-Farbfilter aufweist.Headlamps for producing light effects typically use mercury vapor lamps as white light sources and subordinate gobo elements used as dianegatives or slides to produce a color light effect on a projection plane, such as a wall or canvas or other surface. In particular, resting gobo elements or movable gobo elements, such as gobo wheels, can be used here to change the light effect. The gobo elements are designed to filter out a specific color spectrum from the white light emitted by the mercury vapor lamp, for example, such that the output light is then, for example, a red star, if the gobo element is otherwise non-transmissive to light, however, has a star with a red color filter.
Genauso kann ein Lichteffekt mit einem blauen Stern beispielsweise erzeugt werden, wenn das Gobo-Element derart ausgebildet ist, dass es bis auf einen blauen Filter nicht-transmittierend ist.Similarly, a blue star lighting effect can be generated, for example, if the gobo element is designed to be non-transmissive except for a blue filter.
Nachteilig an dieser Vorgehensweise ist, dass die Effizienz der Lichterzeugung insbesondere dann, wenn ein farbiger Lichteffekt gewünscht wird, sehr niedrig ist. Wird beispielsweise aus einer Quecksilber-Dampflampe ein roter Lichteffekt mit einem Rot-Gobo erzeugt, so wird lediglich ein Anteil von 10% der Lichtintensität am Ende als Scheinwerferausgabe als rotes Licht verfügbar sein. Dies ist insofern problematisch, weil sich die existierenden Gobo-Elemente sehr stark aufgrund des Lichtauflieizens, was eine spezielle Kühlung der Gobo-Elemente erforderlich macht, die beispielsweise durch Ventilatoren erfolgen muss und damit zusätzlichen Raum, zusätzliche Kosten, zusätzliches Gewicht und zusätzliche Geräusche erzeugt.A disadvantage of this approach is that the efficiency of light generation, especially when a colored light effect is desired, is very low. If, for example, a red light effect is produced from a mercury vapor lamp with a red gobo, only a proportion of 10% of the light intensity at the end will be available as a headlight output as red light. This is problematic in that the existing gobo elements are very much due to the Lichtauflieizens what a special cooling of the gobo elements required, for example, must be done by fans and thus generates additional space, additional costs, additional weight and additional noise.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, ein effizienteres Konzept zum Erzeugen von Lichteffekten zu schaffen.The object of the present invention is to provide a more efficient concept for generating light effects.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Scheinwerfer nach Anspruch 1 oder ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Scheinwerfers nach Anspruch 11 gelöst.This object is achieved by a headlight according to claim 1 or a method for operating a headlamp according to claim 11.
Die vorliegende Erfindung basiert auf der Erkenntnis, dass im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, bei dem lediglich ein subtraktiver Farbmischer in Form eines Gobo-Elements einer Weißlicht-Quelle nachgeschaltet worden ist, nunmehr ein additiver Farbmischer als Lichtquelle mit dem subtraktiven Farbmischer in Form beispielsweise eines Gobo-Elements kombiniert wird. Damit wird die Effizienz erhöht, weil der additive Farbmischer, der beispielsweise in Form einer 3-Farb-LED-Lampe ausgebildet sein kann, wobei die einzelnen Farben durch Ansteuern der einzelnen LED-Elemente unabhängig steuerbar sind, auf die Farbtransmissioneigenschaften des subtraktiven Farbmischers abgestimmt werden kann. Darüber hinaus kann der subtraktive Farbmischer derart sein, dass er wenigstens zwei unterschiedliche Transmissionsfarben hat, so dass bei Verwendung ein und desselben subtraktiven Farbmischers allein durch unterschiedliche Ansteuerung der Einzellampen im additiven Farbmischer unterschiedliche Farbeffekte erzeugt werden können. Eine besondere Implementierung besteht auch darin, die Transmissionsfarben des subtraktiven Farbmischers nicht auf die Grundfarben des additiven Farbmischers, beispielsweise auf rot, grün, blau eines RGB-LED-Farbmischers zu legen, sondern auf Zwischenfarben, wie beispielsweise in gelb. Dann kann auch durch entsprechendes Ansteuern des additiven Farbmischers die beiden Komponenten Farben von gelb, d. h. rot und grün einzeln wieder unter Verwendung des gleichen Musters bzw. im gleichen Muster des Gobo-Elements erzeugt werden.The present invention is based on the finding that, in contrast to the prior art, in which only a subtractive color mixer in the form of a gobo element of a white light source has been connected, now an additive color mixer as a light source with the subtractive color mixer in the form of a Gobo element is combined. Thus, the efficiency is increased because the additive color mixer, which may be formed for example in the form of a 3-color LED lamp, wherein the individual colors are controlled independently by driving the individual LED elements, are matched to the color transmission properties of the subtractive color mixer can. In addition, the subtractive color mixer may be such that it has at least two different transmission colors, so that when using the same subtractive color mixer alone by different control of the individual lamps in the additive color mixer different color effects can be generated. A particular implementation is also not to place the transmission colors of the subtractive color mixer on the primary colors of the additive color mixer, for example on red, green, blue of an RGB LED color mixer, but on intermediate colors, such as in yellow. Then, by appropriately driving the additive color mixer, the two components colors of yellow, d. H. red and green individually using the same pattern or pattern of the gobo element.
Bei der Implementierung ist der Scheinwerfer ausgebildet, um eine Lichtausgangsleistung von wenigstens 3000 Lumen aus dem additiven Farbmischer, z. B. einer LED-Quelle, zu zu haben, um eine Beleuchtungseigenschaft bzw. eine Spotlighteigenschaft zu erfüllen. Aufgrund thermischer Probleme, kann es ferner vorteilhaft sein, eine maximale Lichtausgangsleistung von kleiner als 8000 Lumen zu haben.In the implementation, the headlamp is designed to provide a light output of at least 3000 lumens from the additive color mixer, e.g. As an LED source, to meet a lighting property or a Spotlighteigenschaft. Due to thermal problems, it may also be advantageous to have a maximum light output of less than 8000 lumens.

Der subtraktive Farbmischer 12 umfasst vorzugsweise ein beschichtetes Glas-Gobo und insbesondere ein Glas-Gobo mit zwei oder mehreren Schichten.The
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft also eine Kombination aus einer Mehrfarb-LED-Lichtquelle (meist RGB) und Mehrfarb-Gobos. Im Gegensatz zu einem sogenannten Washlight geht es hier aber nun um einen Spot, der Muster, also die Gobo-Muster scharf abbilden kann. Solche Gobos können in einem Gobo-Rad bestückt werden, wobei das Gobo-Rad in einem Scheinwerfer drehbar ist, um unterschiedliche Gobo-Elemente in den Lichtgang 24 zu bringen, der eine bestimmte Farbe aus dem RGB-Farbraum darstellt, die aufgrund der Einstellung der Einzellichtquellen über den Steuereingang 22 erzeugt worden ist. Das Licht 24 wird im subtraktiven Farbmischer derart "behandelt", dass die Farbe des Ausgangslichtstrahls 26 aus dem subtraktiven Farbmischer gewissermaßen eine Untermenge der Farbe des Strahls 24 aus dem RGB-Farbraum ist. Die Optik 18 erzeugt schließlich aus dem einfallenden Lichtstrahl 26 den Ausgangslichtstrahl 28, der ausreichend Leistung aufweist, um Beleuchtungsqualität zu haben.The present invention thus relates to a combination of a multi-color LED light source (usually RGB) and multi-color gobos. In contrast to a so-called Washlight, however, this is now about a spot, the pattern, so the gobo pattern can depict sharply. Such gobos can be fitted in a gobo wheel, the gobo wheel being rotatable in a headlight to bring different gobo elements into the
Gobos werden typischerweise auf einem hitzebeständigen Material aufgebracht. Eine Form von Gobos sind dünne Metallplättchen von unter 0,5 mm Stärke, aus denen die zu projizierenden Formen herausgetrennt sind, beispielsweise durch Ätzen oder per Laser oder Watercut. Die dadurch erreichbare Genauigkeit ist aber gering, da es gewisse Mindeststegbreiten gibt. Außerdem muss ein zu projizierendes Muster immer Stützstege für die innenliegende Fläche enthalten. Die dadurch zu erreichenden Projektionen sind immer monochrom und können nur als Ganzes mit der Farbmischeinheit des Projektors in einer Farbe eingefärbt werden.Gobos are typically applied to a refractory material. One form of gobos are thin metal plates of less than 0.5 mm thickness, from which the forms to be projected are separated out, for example by etching or by laser or watercut. The achievable accuracy is low because there are certain minimum ridge widths. In addition, a pattern to be projected must always contain support webs for the inner surface. The resulting projections are always monochrome and can only be colored as a whole with the color mixing unit of the projector in one color.
Eine alternative Möglichkeit stellen Glas-Gobos dar. Hierbei wird auf einen hitzebeständigen Träger aus dünnem Borosilikat-Glas (meist 1,1 mm bis 1,2 mm) eine lichtundurchlässige Schicht, beispielsweise aus Chrom oder Aluminium, aufgedampft. Danach wird mit einem photoempfindlichen Abdecklack beschichtet, per Laserbelichtung das Muster belichtet, entwickelt, das Muster aus der Metallschicht herausgeätzt und der Abdecklack entfernt. Das Ganze lässt sich auch produzieren, indem die Metallschicht direkt per Laserbelichtung entfernt wird.An alternative possibility is glass gobos. In this case, a light-impermeable layer, for example of chromium or aluminum, is vapor-deposited on a heat-resistant support made of thin borosilicate glass (usually 1.1 mm to 1.2 mm). Thereafter, it is coated with a photosensitive resist, exposed by laser exposure pattern, developed, etched the pattern from the metal layer and the Abdecklack removed. The whole thing can also be produced by removing the metal layer directly by laser exposure.
Mit diesem Verfahren können genauere Strukturen erzeugt werden. Das Ergebnis ist aber wieder monochrom. Man kann nunmehr jedoch statt der Metallschicht auch eine dichroitische Farbschicht aufdampfen. Wenn man also zum Beispiel mit blau beschichtet und ein Dreieck herausätzt, kann man mit Weißlicht beleuchtet ein weißes Dreieck auf blauem Grund sehen. Wird mit gelbem Licht beleuchtet, ist es ein gelbes Dreieck auf grünem Grund. Bei rotem Licht ist es ein rotes Dreieck auf violettem Grund, usw.With this method, more accurate structures can be generated. The result is again monochrome. However, instead of the metal layer, it is now possible to evaporate a dichroic ink layer. For example, if you coat with blue and etched out a triangle, you can see a white triangle on a blue background illuminated with white light. When illuminated with yellow light, it is a yellow triangle on a green background. In red light, it is a red triangle on a violet ground, etc.
Darüber hinaus existieren mehrfarbige Glas-Gobos, die für den Einsatz bei der vorliegenden Erfindung, also beim erfindungsgemäßen Scheinwerfer bevorzugt werden. Eine Variante besteht darin, mehrere Glasträger hintereinander anzuordnen, die mit jeweils einer Farbschicht und einem darin abgebildeten Farbteilbild beschichtet sind. Da die Teilbilder aber zueinander einen Abstand entlang der optischen Achse haben, wegen der Glas-Materialstärke, ist ein gleichzeitiges Fokussieren auf alle Farben nicht möglich. Es stellt sich also ein gewisser Unschärfe-Effekt ein. Dieses Problem kann man umgehen, indem man nur zwei Träger so anordnet, dass sich die beschichteten Seiten berühren. Ein Teilbild wird dabei spiegelverkehrt aufgebracht. Dies beschränkt die Anzahl der Beschichtungs-Farben wieder auf zwei Farben. Eine weitere aufwendigere Variante ist es, nacheinander mehrere Schichten auf einen gemeinsamen Glasträger aufzubringen und die Teilbilder herauszuätzen. Da jede neue Schicht erst dann aufgebracht werden kann, wenn das vorhergehende Muster schon aus seiner Schicht herausgeätzt wurde, ist dies ein zeitintensives Verfahren, das außerdem eine hohe Präzision voraussetzt. Die dabei erreichbaren Ergebnisse sind jedoch besonders vorteilhaft.In addition, there are multicolored glass gobos, which are preferred for use in the present invention, so in the headlamp invention. One variant consists of arranging a plurality of glass carriers in succession, which are each coated with a color layer and a color partial image imaged therein. Since the subpictures have a distance along the optical axis, because of the glass material thickness, a simultaneous focusing on all colors is not possible. So there is a certain blurring effect. This problem can be avoided by arranging only two carriers so that the coated sides touch each other. A partial image is applied mirror-inverted. This restricts the number of coating colors back to two colors. Another more complex variant is to successively apply several layers to a common glass substrate and etch out the partial images. Since each new layer can only be applied when the previous pattern has already been etched out of its layer, this is a time-consuming process that also requires high precision. However, the achievable results are particularly advantageous.

So wurde herausgefunden, dass sich der Farbeindruck solcher mehrfarbiger Gobo-Projektionen völlig invertiert, wenn sie mittels Mehrfarb-LED-Lichtquellen anstatt mittels Entladungslampen mit CMY-Farbwechslern durchleuchtet werden. Der Grund hierfür besteht darin, dass ein Scheinwerfer mit Entladungslampe dann seine größtmögliche Intensität hat, wenn er einen weißen Lichtstrahl projiziert, wenn also keine Farbfilter im Strahlengang angeordnet sind. Färbt man diesen Lichtstrahl mittels einer Farbmischstufe, beispielsweise mit CMY-Colormixing mit dichroitischen Farbfiltern ein, so verhält sich die Lichtstärke umgekehrt proportional zur Farbintensität. Da der Farbfilter (oder mehrere bei CMY-Systemen) nur einen schmalbandigen Bereich des eingestrahlten Weißlichts durchlässt und den Rest zurück in das Leuchtenäußere reflektiert, wird umso weniger Licht durchgelassen, je mehr von dem jeweiligen Filter in den Strahlengang gefahren wird. Bei den erfindungsgemäßen Mehrfarb-LED-Lichtquellen ist es jedoch so, dass durch Zumischen einer Grundfarbe der Strom in der jeweiligen LED steigt, oder, im Falle einer PWM-Ansteuerung das Plus-Pausen-Verhältnis. Farbintensität und Lichtstärke steigen im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik also gleichzeitig. Diese Veränderung im Farb- und Helligkeitsverhalten ist ungewohnt und wird deshalb vom Betrachter als besonders interessant und andersartig wahrgenommen. Außerdem erhält der Lichtstrahl dieses Systems meist nur drei oder vier verschiedene Peak-Wellenlängen, an welche sich die Farben des Gobos vorzugsweise perfekt anpassen lassen. Der Farbeindruck ist also wesentlich farbreiner und intensiver, da es, im Gegensatz zur Verwendung einer Quecksilber-Dampflampe bzw. einer Weißlicht-Quelle keine ungenutzten Zwischenwellenlängen gibt.Thus, it has been found that the color impression of such multicolor gobo projections is completely inverted when illuminated by multicolor LED light sources rather than by CMY color changer discharge lamps. The reason for this is that a headlamp with discharge lamp then has its greatest possible intensity when it projects a white beam of light, so if no color filters are arranged in the beam path. If this light beam is colored by means of a color mixing stage, for example with CMY color mixing with dichroic color filters, the luminous intensity behaves inversely proportional to the color intensity. Since the color filter (or more in CMY systems) transmits only a narrow band of irradiated white light and reflects the rest back into the exterior of the luminaire, the less light is transmitted, the more is driven by the respective filter in the beam path. However, in the multicolor LED light sources of the present invention, by adding a base color, the current in the respective LED increases or, in the case of PWM driving, the plus-pause ratio. Color intensity and light intensity increase in contrast to the prior art thus simultaneously. This change in color and brightness behavior is unfamiliar and is therefore perceived by the viewer as particularly interesting and different. In addition, the light beam of this system usually receives only three or four different peak wavelengths, to which the colors of the gobo can preferably be perfectly adapted. The color impression is therefore much cleaner and more intense color, since there are no unused intermediate wavelengths in contrast to the use of a mercury vapor lamp or a white light source.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Kombination aus additivem Farbmischer und subtraktivem Farbmischer lassen sich besondere Effekte erzielen, wie sie in
Würde man diese Gobo in einem Gerät mit Entladungslampe einsetzen, würden die beiden anderen Punkte immer noch ein wenig zu sehen sein, da die dichroitischen Filter der Farbmischstufe nicht schmalbandig genug sind, um alle Zwischenwellenlängen der Entladungslampe völlig auszublenden. Außerdem wäre die nutzbare Helligkeit dann am geringsten, wenn die größte Farbreinheit einer einzelnen Farbe eingestrahlt wäre, da dann der Filter das meiste Licht sperrt.If one were to use this gobo in a device with a discharge lamp, the two other points would still be a bit visible, since the dichroic filters of the color mixing stage are not narrow-band enough to completely blank out all intermediate wavelengths of the discharge lamp. In addition, the usable brightness would be lowest if the largest color purity of a single color would be irradiated, since then the filter blocks most of the light.
Die Kombination von Farb-Gobos und Mehrfarb-LED-Lichtquelle gibt den Lichtdesignern jedoch nun die Möglichkeit, durch Wahl des Gobo-Musters und durch die entsprechende Ansteuerung der Lichtquelle beim Betrachter den Eindruck verschiedener Muster hervorzurufen, ohne dass tatsächlich das Gobo gewechselt werden muss. Das hat zum einen den Vorteil, dass der Wechsel des Musters praktisch allein durch Umschalten, also in Lichtgeschwindigkeit, möglich ist (abgesehen von der Taktfrequenz des Datenbusses). Darüber hinaus multiplizieren sich so die Möglichkeiten, die man durch Farbauswahl hat, mit der Anzahl der tatsächlich vorhandenen Gobos in einem Gobo-Rad. Durch die Verquickung einer additiven Farbmischung, die in der eigentlichen LED-Lichtquelle stattfindet und einer subtraktiven Farbmischung durch die dichroitischen Schichten der Farb-Gobos werden somit besonders interessante Effekte erreicht, und wird eine besonders effiziente Art und Weise des Betreibens eines Scheinwerfers erreicht, da auch keine Problematik im Hinblick auf das Abtransportieren der überflüssigen Wärme mehr nötig ist, weil die Wärme nicht mehr erzeugt wird.However, the combination of color gobos and multi-color LED light source now gives lighting designers the ability to create the impression of different patterns by choosing the gobo pattern and controlling the light source without actually having to change the gobo. This has the advantage that the change of the pattern is practically possible only by switching, ie in the speed of light (apart from the clock frequency of the data bus). In addition, the possibilities offered by color selection are multiplied by the number of actual gobos in a gobo wheel. By combining an additive color mixture, which takes place in the actual LED light source and a subtractive color mixture through the dichroic layers of the color gobos thus particularly interesting effects are achieved, and a particularly efficient way of operating a headlamp is achieved, as well No problem with regard to the removal of superfluous heat is more necessary because the heat is no longer generated.
Im Gegensatz zu Weißlicht-LED-Spots oder Entladungslampen-Spots, bei denen es keine Möglichkeit gibt, die Lichtfarbe der Lichtquelle zu streuen, sondern nur die Möglichkeit der subtraktiven Farbmischung außerhalb der Lichtquelle, wird dies erfindungsgemäß gerade erreicht, dass nämlich durch den additiven Farbmischer bereits bei der Lichterzeugung eine Farbe aus dem RGB-Farbraum 24 (
Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung wird als subtraktiver Farbmischer ein Gobo eingesetzt, das mit zwei unterschiedlichen Schichten beschichtet ist, wobei die Schichten zwei unterschiedliche Transmissionsfarben haben und für andere Farben außerhalb der Transmissionsfarben nicht transparent sind. Bei einer Implementierung werden die Transmissionsfarben des Gobos auf die Grundfarben eingestellt, die in der LED-Lampe vorhanden sind, wie es z.B. links oben in
Vorzugsweise wird eine Lichtumschaltung bzw. eine Veränderung der Ansteuerung der RGB-Farbquelle vorgenommen, und zwar abgestimmt auf die Farben der LED-Lichtquelle, so dass zu einem Zeitpunkt die eine Transmissionsfarbe der einen Gobo-Beschichtung emittiert wird und zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt die andere Transmissionsfarbe der andren Gobo-Beschichtung emittiert wird. Wenn die Transmissionsfarbe einer Gobo-Beschichtung nicht mit der Einzelfarbe eines LED-Einzelelements übereinstimmt, wird es bevorzugt, zu einem ersten Zeitpunkt die erste Farbe der Mischfarbe zu aktivieren und die anderen Farben nicht, und wird es bevorzugt, zu einem zweiten Zeitpunkt die andere Farbe der Mischfarbe zu aktivieren und die jeweils anderen Farben nicht, und wird es ferner bevorzugt, zu einem dritten Zeitpunkt beide Farben zu aktivieren, um die tatsächliche Mischfarbe zu erzeugen. All dies geschieht ohne Gobo-Wechsel.Preferably, a light change or a change in the control of the RGB color source is made, specifically matched to the colors of the LED light source, so that at one time the one transmission color of a Gobo coating is emitted and at a later time the other transmission color the other Gobo coating is emitted. If the transmission color of a gobo-coating does not match the single color of a single LED element, it is preferred to activate the first color of the mixed color at a first time and not the other colors, and it is preferred to use the other color at a second time to activate the mixed color and not the other colors respectively, and it is further preferred to activate both colors at a third time to produce the actual mixed color. All this happens without gobo change.
