Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a set up for emitting in its brightness and / or its color adjustable light arrangement, which has at least two electrically controllable LED light sources, which differ from each other in a dominant wavelength of the light generated by them, wherein the light emitted from the array is produced by additive mixing of the light generated by each of the LED light sources.
  • the invention relates to a system for generating light which is adjustable in its brightness and / or color locus, comprising at least one arrangement for emitting light adjustable in its brightness and at least one electronic control unit arranged to drive the arrangement, the arrangement being at least two electrical having controllable LED light sources, which differ from one another in a dominant wavelength of the light they generate, wherein the LED light sources are controllably designed and arranged relative to one another such that the light emitted by the arrangement by additive mixing of the light emitted by the individual LED Light sources generated each light is generated.
  • a dominant wavelength is one way of describing a polychromatic light mixture by a monochromatic light that produces a similar color perception as the polychromatic light mixture.
  • a line connecting the white point contained in the CIE standard color chart and a point for the color of a polychromatic light mixture generated by a light source may be extrapolated such that the line is the edge of the CIE Standard color chart cuts in two intersections.
  • the point of intersection which is closer to the point for the color of the polychromatic light mixture represents the dominant wavelength of the color of this light mixture as the wavelength of a monochromatic light or a specific pure spectral color.
  • the dominant wavelength is dependent on the entire course of the optical spectrum, which has the light to be characterized with regard to the color locus.
  • a spectrum is also characterized by characteristic Parameters, such as the peak wavelength and the half-width, described.
  • the color locus is uniquely determined by these parameters only if further information about the spectrum is known, such as symmetry properties. If an LED has, for example, a Gaussian shape, the spectrum and thus the dominant wavelength are uniquely determined by specifying the peak wavelength and the half-width. However, this does not apply to any other, in particular asymmetrical spectra. For this reason, in the present specification, the color locus is described by the dominant wavelength and not by other spectral parameters.
  • Arrangements for emitting brightness adjustable light having at least two LED light sources are known. Such arrangements are usually supplied with a pulsed electrical current for controlling the brightness of the light emitted by them, the pulse width of which is modulated according to the desired brightness. It is thus continuously switched back and forth between a current zero and a constant current, the resulting average current strength determines the optical radiometric radiation power and the photometric radiation power and thus the brightness of each emitted by the assemblies light.
  • This pulsed driving of respective devices causes the light emitted by the devices to be pulsed.
  • adjustable can include both a control in the strict sense, ie with a closed feedback loop, and a control in the strict sense, ie without a closed feedback loop. It is both a regulation of the brightness or the color location and a controller possible.
  • the dominant wavelength or color locus in the CIE standard color chart of a light generated by an LED light source strongly depends on the current magnitude of the current supplied to the LED light source. Not only can the peak wavelength change, but also the shape and / or width of the spectrum.
  • the current of the current supplying the LED light sources is constant during one pulse width, whereby the light generated by the LED light sources of the device or the light emitted from the device substantially during one pulse width has a constant dominant wavelength or a constant color location.
  • a slight change in the dominant wavelength or the color locus of the light is effected in the above-described control of an arrangement, however, that at a lower average current intensity of the power supply to the LED light sources of the arrangement, ie with a reduction of the pulse width against a pulse pause electrical power dissipation is lower.
  • This is in the operation of an arrangement with a lower heating of the arrangement or the LED light sources of the arrangement and thus with an influence on the spectral behavior of the LED light sources, in particular with a shift of the dominant wavelength and optionally with a change in the shape of a LED light source generated light spectrum, accompanied. It is known to correct this temperature effect by means of a corresponding characteristic curve or a corresponding characteristic field, which or which is used for setting the LED light source or LED light sources with pulsed current.
  • a disadvantage of the conventional arrangements is that the pulsed light emitted by these arrangements is unsuitable if it leads to undesirable effects when used. This is the case, in particular, when using such illumination for film recordings, since in this case the frequency of the pulsed light can lead to beats at the refresh rate. This effect could be achieved by synchronizing the pulse rate of light emitted by the array with the frame rate, i. H. the refresh rate at which the images of a movie recording are generated, are eliminated. However, this would lead to an undesirably high technical complexity.
  • due to different pulse widths of the different LED light sources in digital image processing disturbing false-color image segments or black stripes in the image reproduction may occur.
  • pulsating light with frequencies ⁇ 1 kHz in the case of long-term exposure is perceived as disturbing and in terms of well-being by the human eye as a concern.
  • the object of the invention is to enable emitting in its brightness and / or its color adjustable light with an arrangement of the type mentioned, in which the above-mentioned disadvantages do not occur.
  • the method of the type mentioned is characterized according to claim 1, characterized in that the LED light sources are individually supplied with direct current such that a predetermined dominant wavelength of the light emitted by the arrangement is independent of the respective brightness of this light is constant and / or that the LED light sources are individually supplied with direct current such that a predetermined brightness of the light emitted from the array is constant regardless of the respective dominant wavelength of this light.
  • the predetermined dominant wavelength can be fixed or adjustable.
  • the LED light sources of the arrangement are supplied with a direct current, that is to say with an unpulsed current, so that the light emitted by the arrangement is not pulsed, as is conventional, but continuous.
  • a control or regulation of the brightness and / or the color location of the light emitted by the arrangement is effected by a control or regulation of the current intensity of the individual LED light sources individually supplying direct current.
  • the LED light sources are supplied with direct current in such a way that a predetermined dominant wavelength of the light emitted by the arrangement is constant, irrespective of the respective brightness of this light or, in the entire range in which the brightness of the light, ie the photometric radiation power (ie the luminous flux measured in lumens), can only be adjusted by a predetermined maximum amount.

  • the LED light sources are individually supplied with direct current in such a way that a predetermined brightness of the light emitted by the arrangement is constant irrespective of the respective dominant wavelength of this light or, in the entire range in which the brightness of the light, ie the photometric Radiation power (ie measured in lumens luminous flux), can be adjusted only by a predetermined maximum amount varies.

  • the parameters ⁇ d and Q depend on the independent parameters I 1 to I n and result from the independent parameters. Also, the parameter T is not completely independent of the independent parameters I 1 to I n .
  • the independent parameters I 1 to I n influence the junction temperature of the respective LED light source 1 to n. However, the respective junction temperature additionally depends on the respective ambient temperature and the respective heat transfer resistance, which is decisive for the release of heat from the respective barrier layer to the environment is.
  • starting values for currents I0 1 to I0n can be determined as a function of predefined values for the color locus or ⁇ d and the desired brightness Q (eg 80% of the maximum brightness). These starting values can be taken, for example, for a normal temperature T from the large map. Instead, a separate characteristic field can be used for this, which links the values for I0 1 to I0 n , ⁇ d and Q for a specific temperature T (eg room temperature).
  • the temperature influence can then be taken into account, where-bei a temperature sensor 7 supplies a temperature value which already deviates initially from an initial temperature. From the map, or a separate map, then new values for the DC currents I 1 to I n can be taken for the new temperature value and the LED light sources 1 to n are controlled accordingly.
  • the second step can also be divided into two sub-steps, wherein in a first sub-step only the temperature influence on the direct currents I 1 to I n is corrected in order to maintain ⁇ d .
  • a characteristic map used for this purpose can only take into account the temperature dependence, without taking into account the influence of the changed direct currents I 1 to I n on the color locus of the light emitted by the arrangement 2. Such a characteristic diagram can suffice for controlling / regulating pulsed controlled LED light sources 1 to n, since there is no dependence of the color locus of the light emitted by the arrangement 2 on the direct currents I 1 to I n of temperature effects.
  • the modified DC currents I 1 to I n can then be corrected by means of a further characteristic map in which the dependence of the color locus of the light emitted by the device 2 on the DC currents I 1 to I n is determined Color location of the emitted light from the arrangement 2 is achieved or maintained.
  • the modified direct currents I 1 to I n will then again have an influence on the temperature T, etc. In the manner described, a desired state of equilibrium can be achieved starting from three such iterative steps. Alternatively, the regulation can also be carried out (quasi) continuously.
