Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for adjusting the color or photometric properties of an LED headlight according to the preamble of claims 1, 28 and 48 and a device according to the preamble of claim 54.
- LEDs light emitting diodes
- Typical film footage for movies such as "Cinema Color Negative Film” are optimized for daylight with a color temperature of 5600 K or incandescent light with a color temperature of 3200 K and achieve excellent color rendering characteristics with these light sources for illuminating a set
- these have to be adapted to the optimum color temperature of 3200 K or 5600 K and have a very good color rendering quality, usually the best color rendering level with a color rendering index of CRI> 90 ... 100 required.
- the mixture can additionally be optimized for the color reproduction properties of the film material or the sensor of a digital camera. If this optimization is not performed, then in the worst case, the correct color location is set, but this with very unfavorable color rendering properties.
- US 2004/0105261 A1 discloses a method and a device for emitting and modulating light with a given light spectrum.
- the known lighting device has a plurality of groups of light-emitting devices, each group emitting a predetermined light spectrum and a control device controls the energy supply to the individual light emitting devices so that the total resulting radiation has the predetermined light spectrum.
- a control device controls the energy supply to the individual light emitting devices so that the total resulting radiation has the predetermined light spectrum.
- a disadvantage of this method is also not optimal color reproduction in film and video recordings and the lack of ability to set a predetermined color temperature and a precise color location.
- the individual LEDs or groups of LEDs and the color temperature set in each case it is to be expected that there will be considerable color deviations from Planck's curve, which can only be corrected by presetting corrective filters.
- the light output is not optimal in a warm white setting the combination of daylight white and warm white LEDs, as this relatively high conversion losses occur due to the secondary emission of the phosphor.
- a further disadvantage of this method is that to set a warm or daylight white color temperature, a large part of the LEDs of the other color temperature can not be used or only strongly dimmed and thus the degree of utilization for the color temperatures typically required for film recordings is 3200 K or 5600 K only about 50%.
- an adjustable in the color temperature light source for daylight is known in which at least one white light of a specific color temperature emitting LED with different colored light, in particular in the primary colors red, green and blue, emitting LEDs combined.
- a specific color temperature or a certain standard light quality can be adjusted by automatically switching on or off a given color temperature or standard light quality by using suitable sensors, logic and software that can detect the current spectral profile of the light source is readjusted.
- LEDs emit the light emitted by them not monochromatisch with a sharp spectral line, but with a band spectrum with a certain width, so that the emission spectrum of an LED as Gaussian bell curve or as the sum of several Gaussian bell curves can be assumed and the emissions - Spectra of LEDs on the Gaussian distribution can be simulated.
- Some emission spectra of LEDs as a function of the relative luminance over the wavelength are shown in FIG. 4, which show that the wavelengths of differently colored light-emitting LEDs increase from blue light via green light, amber light up to red light and the shape of the emission spectrum of white light emitting LEDs deviates greatly from the emission spectra of differently colored light emitting LEDs.
- This deviation results from the white light generation technology based on a blue semiconductor light emitting element provided with a phosphor coating which partially converts the blue light into yellow light, from which a second one in addition to the first smaller peak in the wavelength range of blue light , higher peak in the yellow region of the spectrum results, giving mixed proportions of white light. It can be varied over the thickness of the phosphor coating, the color temperature, so that both yellowish, warm white and daylight white LEDs can be made in this way.
- LEDs have a strong temperature dependence as bulbs. As the junction temperature increases, the characteristics and characteristics of LEDs change significantly, with the luminance decreasing significantly as the temperature increases. This is due to the fact that at higher temperatures, the proportion of radiationless recombination increases and, with increasing temperature, a shift in the emission spectra to higher-wave regions, ie towards the red spectrum, takes place.
- Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of the relative luminance over the junction temperature of LEDs that emit blue, green and red light and consist of different material combinations. It follows that the temperature dependence of LEDs varies depending on the materials used, resulting in the result has that change the colorimetric properties of a composite of different colored LEDs additively composite light to achieve a specific light color or color temperature.
- a spectrometer can be provided and used for example in the front lens of a lighting headlamp which measures the spectrum of the light emitted by the illumination headlight, or a color sensor is used in the area of the light exit surface, which registers deviations of the actual color of the headlamp and then detects the intensity and the color locus of the LEDs involved in light generation in a pulse / measurement mode.
- shifts of the peak wavelengths as well as changes in the height of the peak wavelength can be detected and supplied as actual value variable to a control device whose desired value is the basic setting or basic mixture of the light emitted by the illumination headlight.
- desired value is the basic setting or basic mixture of the light emitted by the illumination headlight.
- Object of the present invention is to set the light color, color temperature or the color of a light emitted by an LED headlamp mixture with minimal cost and time regardless of the ambient temperature of the LED headlamp and keep constant. This task is inventively solved by methods having the features of claims 1, 28 and 48.
- the solutions according to the invention ensure that the temperature, in particular the board temperature of the LEDs, independent adjustment and maintenance of the light color, color temperature or color locus of a light mixture emitted by light source components of different colored LEDs and emitted by an LED headlight with minimal manufacturing and time expenditure.
- the inventive methods are based on different approaches and allow different Einstellgenaumaschineen with different manufacturing and time to achieve an independent of the ambient temperature of the LED headlight, desired setting of the light color, color temperature or the color location of the light mixture.
- the production cost and the control or regulation time for the maintenance of the desired light color, color temperature or the color location of the light emitted by the LED headlight mixture is overall considerably less than the production and control time required when using multiple color sensors, since in the inventive method, only one temperature sensor as an actual value transmitter for observing the light color, the color temperature or the color locus of the light emitted by the LED headlight light mixture is required and the control time is minimal depending on the particular method used.
- the headlight is initially calibrated with an optimum setting of the luminous flux components of differently colored LED color groups for a desired light color of the light mixture emitted by the LED headlamp in a basic setting of the LED headlight.
- a temperature-dependent recalibration is carried out to correct the luminous flux components of the differently colored LEDs on the light mixture by recalculating the luminous flux components with the temperature-dependent emission spectra of the differently colored LEDs and adjusting them on the headlamp.
- the emission spectra of the differently colored LEDs are approximated for the respectively measured temperature by means of the Gaussian distribution or via a temperature-dependent normalization of the emission spectra determined in the calibration, which is preferably within the scope of a calibration as well as the recalculation of the luminous flux components based on it Dependent on the temperature takes place.
- the result namely the luminous flux components of the LED colors in dependency on the temperature, is preferably stored in the table or functional form in the headlight, since in the headlight then no spectra for measuring, approximating and arithmetic are needed.
- the temperature-dependent intensity factor f L serves to adapt the intensity of the simulated spectrum to the intensity of the spectrum at a specific ambient temperature
- the spectrum of the spectrum as a function of the temperature is a linear or quadratic function for each LED color.
- the emission spectrum of the different colored LEDs and thus the light mixture emitted by the LED headlight can Are closer approximated to light, if the dependent on the wavelength of the different colored LEDs emission spectra E ( ⁇ ) according to the formula
- LED emission spectrum and a temperature-dependent intensity factor f L are simulated.
- Half width wso are linearly or quadratically dependent on the temperature for all color groups of the differently colored LEDs.
- the temperature-dependent conversion factor f L (T) represents a normalization factor which relates the approximated spectrum to the measured relative luminance as a function of the temperature.
- the measured dependence of the maximum spectral radiant power on the temperature can be used for the factor fL (T).
- the determination of the emission spectrum for white LEDs is a special case, since a white light emitting LED is a blue LED with phosphor coating, so that the emission spectrum has two peaks, namely a peak in the blue and a peak in the yellow spectral range , having. Thus, a simple approximation via a Gaussian distribution is not possible, however, the two peaks in the emission spectrum can be approximated by a respective Gaussian distribution.
- the emission spectrum for white LEDs is approximated over several Gaussian distributions, preferably over three or four Gaussian distributions.
- a third Gaussian distribution 495 nm to the measured emission distribution and an even closer approximation of the calculated emission spectrum to a measured emission distribution can be achieved by adding a fourth Gaussian distribution, however As a compromise of maximum accuracy and minimal computational effort, an approximation of three Gaussian functions is sufficient.
- the methods according to the invention for approximating the emission spectra of the differently colored LEDs to produce the desired light mixture of the LED headlamp have the advantage of a sufficiently accurate approximation of the calculated emission spectra to actually measured emission spectra, taking into account the shift of the peak wavelength and changes in the half-widths, so that the can be readjusted very accurately from the light of different colored LEDs composing light mixture.
- Comparative measurements have shown that the color temperature after this correction is 28K for tungsten or tungsten and 125K for daylight or daylight at visibility thresholds of 5OK for Tungsten and 200K for Daylight respectively, while without color correction the displacement is 326K for Tungsten and 780K for Daylight and thus in clearly visible area lies.
- a disadvantage of this approximation of the emission spectra as a function of the ambient temperature of the LED headlight is that three temperature-dependent parameters and, for the special case of white color, nine temperature-dependent parameters and thus a total of 21 temperature-dependent parameters for calculating the individual color groups of the differently colored LEDs Calculation of the current emission spectrum for a readjustment of the system to maintain the desired light color or color temperature of the set at a starting temperature light mixture must be calculated. This is a considerable expense in comparison to the alternative method explained below for approximating the emission spectra of a current temperature via a temperature-dependent shift + normalization of the emission spectra determined in the calibration at an initial temperature.
- the emission spectra depend on the wavelength of the differently colored LEDs E ( ⁇ ) at a temperature deviating from the starting temperature, the measured temperature of the LED headlamp by a temperature-dependent shift and normalization of the output emission spectra E A according to
- f L (T) is a temperature-dependent conversion factor representing the relative luminance drop over the entire temperature range (measured luminance of the spectrum relative to the luminance of the output spectrum)
- ⁇ ⁇ (r) is a temperature-dependent shift of the peak wavelength
- the emission spectra in the basic setting of the LED headlight which are recorded in the calibration of the LED headlight, shifted by the change of the peak wavelength, then normalized by the factor / ⁇ (T) back to the output luminance of the spectra and finally interpreted with a temperature-dependent factor.
- the factor f L (T) represents the measured relative luminance drop over the entire temperature range, so that the emission spectra of the suspended output mixture multiplied by the factors f L (T) -J n (T) correspond in their luminance to the actual emission spectra be adjusted at the current temperature.
- the emission spectra along the wavelength-indicating abscissa are shifted by the value ⁇ ⁇ (r) in the representation of the relative luminance over the wavelength.
- the advantage of this method for approximating the emission spectra at different ambient temperatures of the LED headlight is that, in contrast to the approximation of the emission spectra via the Gaussian distribution, only 10 parameters to be determined instead of 21 temperature-dependent parameters have to be calculated, resulting in a significantly reduced computational effort and a lower error rate susceptibility leads.
- a disadvantage compared with the approximation of the emission spectra via the Gaussian distribution is that the peak wavelength shift is less accurate, since the change in the half-width and the edge profile of the emission spectra is not taken into account.
- the emission spectra deviating from the emission spectra of the differently colored LEDs in the default setting during the calibration of the LED headlight become at an ambient temperature of the LED deviating from the starting temperature in the basic setting -Haswerwerfers converted into a change in the luminous flux components of the respective color groups of different colored LEDs to readjust the light mixture.
- a program-controlled arithmetic unit is used, into which the determined emission spectra of the LED colors used or the emission spectra of the desired LED lights. Entering colors, setting several optimization parameters and determining the luminous flux components optimized for different target parameters for the differently colored LEDs or delivering them to an electronics activating the differently colored LEDs.
- the program-controlled computing unit is used to calculate light mixtures based on LEDs of different colors, by using the emission spectra of the different colored LEDs to determine the color properties of light mixtures of the light sources with different luminous flux components as well as to calculate optimized light mixtures for specific types of light. Up to five emission spectra can be selected, imported and the best mix for preset color properties can be calculated using an optimization function. Furthermore, various types of light used in film production, such as incandescent 3200K for artificial light or tungsten and daylight or HMI light 5600K for daylight or daylight can be selected, with further options by entering optimization and target parameters refines the presets can be used to obtain an optimal light mixture.
- the program-controlled arithmetic unit offers the possibility of the colorimetric properties for To determine a manually adjusted mixture, so that it is possible, for example, to investigate the change of mixtures with equal proportions but different emission spectra.
- the desired color temperature of the light mixture produced by the differently colored LEDs, the mixed light capability and the reference light type as well as the film material or the camera sensor for which good mixed light capability is to be achieved can be set as the optimization parameters, while the target parameters for optimizing the luminous flux components can be one or more of the parameters Color temperature, minimum distance from the Planckian curve, color rendering index and mixed light capability with film or digital camera and target values and / or tolerance values can be entered for the target parameters.
- the LED floodlight for temperature-dependent color correction can be set to the newly calculated light mixture.
- the calculation can be done online in the headlamp, or in advance as part of the calibration and the results obtained (luminous flux components of the LED colors as a function of the temperature) in tabular form or as a function stored in the spotlight internal memory.
- a luminance measurement with a V ( ⁇ ) sensor additionally takes place according to a further feature of the solution according to the invention, so that from the difference between the actual and desired luminance LED headlamp is matched by a matching increase or decrease in the different colored LEDs supplied electrical power to the luminance setpoint.
- the dominant wavelength decreases with increasing current
- the dominant wavelength increases with increasing current with a light mixture, ie an additive composition of the light emitted by an illumination headlight from the light emitted by color groups of differently colored LEDs at a proportionate control of different colored LEDs to achieve a desired light mixture on the current an offset of the dominant wavelength of several nanometers occur, so that the color- temperature of the light emitted by the lighting headlight light mixture would change significantly.
- a proportionate control of the LEDs and thus the light mixture is not a current control, but via a pulse width modulation with substantially rectangular current pulses adjustable pulse width and intervening pulse intervals, which together result in a period of the pulse width modulation.
- the proportional control or dimming takes place via a variation of the pulse width of the rectangular signal at a fixed fundamental frequency, so that at a 50 percent dimming of the rectangular pulse has half the width of the entire period.
- another feature of the inventive solution is to control the luminous flux components for the differently colored LEDs by driving the differently colored LEDs by means of pulse width modulation.
- This control takes place in conjunction with the previously explained delivery of the luminous flux components for the different colored LEDs from the program-controlled computing unit by delivery of the luminous flux components corresponding pulse width modulated signal components to the different color LEDs driving electronics.
- the above-described methods for determining the emission spectra in conjunction with the program-controlled arithmetic unit and a pulse-width modulated signal-emitting control electronics enable the direct control of the individual color groups of the differently colored LEDs, without requiring additional input from the user after he has set the optimization and target parameters in the basic setting or calibration of the LED headlight.
- the temperature-dependent luminous flux components can be deposited in the headlight, which is generally more meaningful and faster.
- the method for approximating the emission spectra of the differently colored LEDs via a temperature-dependent displacement plus normalization of the emission spectra determined in the calibration in the basic setting of the LED headlight for correcting the color or photometric properties of the LED headlight depending on the ambient temperature thus preferably the method steps
- the above method steps 1 to 4 can be carried out as part of the calibration and the temperature-dependent luminous flux components can be stored in the headlight.
- the integration of the program-controlled computing unit for calculating the luminous flux components of the light mixing of the LED headlamp at different ambient temperatures is required and offers the advantage of a very accurate calculation of the luminous flux components of the individual color groups.
- the various options offered by the program of the program-controlled computing unit for an accurate calculation of the luminous flux components of the light mixture are not negligible Calculation times to take into account, which is unacceptable for some applications, such as a film set, as the LED headlights must be available without interruption.
- the spectra are not approximated depending on the temperature, but are measured within the calibration with very accurate data.
- a recalculation of the mixture proportions as a function of the temperature can be made and the temperature-dependent mixing proportions in table or functional form are stored in the headlight.
- an LED headlamp which is composed of different colored LEDs whose luminous flux components determine the light color, color temperature and / or the color location of the light emitted by the LED headlight mixture and by driving the different colored LEDs be adjusted by means of pulse width modulated signals, depending on the ambient temperature of the LED headlamp that the different colored LEDs are changed depending on the temperature according to the luminous flux components of the individual color groups for the basic setting of the light mixture to a predetermined light color driving pulse width modulated signals.
- This alternative method provides a very simple solution for color correction at different ambient temperatures and is based on the temperature dependency of the pulse width modulated signals driving the different colored LEDs, with the aim of keeping the relative luminous flux components of the colors involved in the color mixing constant over the entire ambient temperature range.
- the spectra emitted at a currently detected ambient temperature are adapted to the luminous flux components of the basic spectrally detected output spectra during the calibration of the LED headlight, so that the preset light mixture can continue to be used.
- the temperature dependence of the pulse width modulated signal components can be determined from the change in luminance. Investigations have shown that the Although different colored LEDs are very different in temperature dependent (LEDs that emit in the long wavelength range of the visible spectrum, fall in the luminance with increasing temperature much stronger than LEDs of the short wavelength range), but this temperature dependence of the luminance over a wide temperature range, the for practical application, for each color in a linear or quadratic function are determined and described.
- a factor f PWM is obtained for each color group of the differently colored LEDs. If the corresponding proportion of the pulse width modulated signal for the relevant LED color from the basic setting of the light mixture multiplied by the reciprocal of the factor f PWM , this results in the new proportion of the pulse width modulated signal for the relevant LED color at the currently measured ambient temperature.
- PWM (T) PWM A / W M (T)
- any deviations in the luminance which can occur after the determination of the luminous flux components of the differently colored LEDs at the currently measured temperature, can be compensated for by carrying out a luminance measurement with a V ( ⁇ ) sensor, the difference between the luminous intensity measured luminance value and a luminance setpoint, and the luminous intensity emitted by the LED mende increase or decrease of the different colored LEDs supplied electrical power to the luminance setpoint is adjusted.
- An essential advantage of this correction via the normalization of the pulse-width-modulated signal components for controlling the differently colored LEDs is the simplicity of determining the correction factors, since only five parameters have to be calculated via simple functions for a readjustment of the light mixture and subsequently the original components must be evaluated with these parameters. In this case, no calculation via a program-controlled arithmetic unit is required, so that a large portion of the computational and programming costs of the two previously described methods for approximating the emission spectra of the differently colored LEDs and correcting the luminous flux components of the differently colored LEDs is omitted.
- the correction for color stabilization of the LED headlight can take place continuously, so that stable color properties, such as color temperature, color reproduction, distance from the Planckian curve and mixed light capability are ensured during operation of the LED headlight.
- the differences in the color values occurring after the correction which are comparable to the Gaussian approximation color deviations mentioned above, are so small that they can be neglected.
- the output signals of an additional am LED headlights installed color sensor or spectrometer in the determination of the luminous flux components of the color groups of different colored LEDs on the light mixture are considered in the default setting, the output signals of the color sensor or spectrometer to the program-controlled arithmetic unit for determining the luminous flux components or the light flux components corresponding pulse width modulated signals the color groups of different colored LEDs are delivered to the light mixture in the default setting.
- the RGB or XYZ signals of the color sensor if this is calibrated, on the one hand the color location x, y and calculated from the dominant wavelength of the color and on the other hand, the brightness of the individual LEDs are taken simultaneously to the color values, the current temperature read out by the temperature sensor so that the new measured values can be correlated with the temperature-dependent characteristic curves stored in the memory ( ⁇ p, w50 and brightnesses). From this, the parameters required for Gauss approximation intensity and peak wavelength can be determined, the half-width is compared to the original spectrum approximately considered to be constant.
- a temperature-dependent power limitation is performed, since the total power of the LED lighting device or the total current supplied to all LEDs of the LED colors must not exceed a predetermined, preferably temperature-dependent limit; because it makes little sense, with increasing temperature and consequently decreasing brightness of the LED lighting device to supply more power in the expectation, so as to compensate for the brightness decrease of single or multiple colors.
- the temperature continues to increase, so that the luminous efficacy continues to decrease until one or more LEDs are overloaded and thus destroyed or a hardware-controlled current limitation intervenes.
- the power consumption of the LED headlight and / or the total current supplied to the LEDs is provided, wherein the power consumption of the LED headlight and / or the total current supplied to the LEDs can be limited as a function of the temperature.
- the brightnesses (Y) of the LED colors converted to the assumed board temperature (Tbl) are stored in the LED illumination device.
- a device for temperature-dependent adjustment of the color or photometric properties of an LED illumination device with different color LED color groups whose luminous flux components determine the light color, color temperature and / or the color location of the output from the LED lighting device light mixture is characterized by an input device for setting the Light color, color temperature and / or the color location of the light mixture to be emitted by the LED illumination device and the specification of application-specific target parameters and their permissible deviations from an ideal value, one in the housing of the LED illumination device and / or in the region of at least one LED of the differently colored LED Temperature measuring device which outputs a temperature signal corresponding to the measured temperature, a control device for controlling the LEDs of the differently colored LED color groups with pulse width.

- the input device for setting the light color, color temperature and / or the color location of the light mixture to be dispensed by the LED illumination device and for specifying application-specific target parameters and their permissible deviations from an ideal value preferably consists of a mixing device or DMX console.
- the control device for controlling the LED color groups with pulse-width modulated current pulses has a program-controlled input connected to the microprocessor, a light mixing input connected to the input device, and a sensor and / or calibration input connected to a sensor and / or a calibration hand-held device connected to a supply voltage source.

- 4 shows the spectra of differently colored LEDs in an LED illumination device as a representation of the relative luminance over the wavelength of the light emitted by an LED illumination device. Since LEDs do not emit light monochromatically with a sharp spectral line, but in a spectrum with a certain bandwidth, which can be reasonably assumed to be Gaussian bell curve, the emission spectra of LEDs can be simulated via a Gaussian distribution. 4 shows in solid line the emission spectrum of a white LED, in short dashed line the emission spectrum of a blue LED, in long dashed line the emission spectrum of a yellow or amber LED, in dotted line the emission spectrum of a red LED and in dotted line the Emission spectrum of a green LED.
- the shape of the spectrum of the white light emitting LED differs greatly from the spectra of the colored light emitting LEDs.
- the phosphor coating of the blue LED chip partially converts the blue light into yellow light, resulting in the second, higher peak in the yellow region of the spectrum. Mixed, the proportions give white light.
- the color temperature of the phosphor coating can be varied white light, so that both warm white and daylight white LEDs can be made in this way.
- Fig. 5 shows the temperature dependence of LEDs in a representation of the relative luminance on the barrier layer or junction temperature T 0 C for different material combinations.
- the temperature dependence of the LEDs is a major problem.
- the junction temperature T increases, the characteristics and characteristics of LEDs change significantly.
- the luminance decreases sharply, and the spectra shift to higher-wave regions, ie to the red light.
- These temperature dependencies vary greatly depending on the materials used, with the result that also the colorimetric properties of an additive additively emitted from white light and colored light emitting LEDs mixed light composition change.
- the luminances, peak wavelengths and half-widths of individual LED color groups are considered as a function of temperature applied to an LED of the respective color group and an analysis of the Spectrum and the luminance as well as the color temperature and the color locus of the light mixtures tungsten (Tungsten) and daylight (Daylight), also depending on the applied temperatures, are made.
- the differently colored LEDs have a different temperature dependence. Those LEDs that emit in the long-wavelength range of the visible spectrum, fall in the luminance with increasing temperature T in 0 C significantly more than the LEDs that emit in the short-wavelength range of the visible spectrum. Thus, the LED colors amber and red have a luminance drop of 128% and 1 16% at 20 0 C to 65% and 75% of the initial value at 60 0 C. The color groups blue and green are significantly less temperature-dependent with respect to the luminance. Since the white LEDs build on the technology of the blue LEDs, also results in a significantly lower temperature dependence of the luminance drop of white LEDs. As with the luminance, the temperature dependence for different LED types also differs for the peak wavelength.
- Fig. 6 shows an example of the temperature dependence of the peak wavelength for the LED groups .lambda.p Amber and Red and illustrates a shift in the gene Peakwellenlän- .lambda.p with increasing ambient or junction temperature T 0 C in the LEDs. Also with regard to the peak wavelength ⁇ P , the LEDs in the higher-wave visible range such as amber and red are more temperature-dependent than LEDs of the LED groups blue and green, which are far less temperature-dependent.
- the half-width W 50 of the emitted spectra is linearly dependent on the temperature T 0 C. In contrast to the first two mentioned parameters, the differences between the different LED color groups are not so serious here.
- the curves of the half-value width W 50 are by way of example of the LED colors Amber and Red above the temperature T in C 0 shown in Fig. 7.
- the half-width W 50 for the LEDs of the groups blue and green is similarly temperature-dependent as for the groups amber and red.
- Fig. 1 1 shows the color temperature shift dCCT in K for "artificial light” and “daylight” depending on the ambient temperature T and illustrates that due to the much greater temperature sensitivity of the LEDs in the areas red and amber with respect to the luminance to a blue shift of the light color with increasing Temperature leads.
- the headlight must be calibrated by determining a base mix for the 3200 K tungsten and 5600 K daylight settings.

- the reference light type eg Kodak 5246D, Kodak 5274T
- Reference light type for the camera eg incandescent lamp 3200 K, daylight 5600 K, HMI, etc.
- the program-controlled computing unit uses genetic algorithms to optimize the mixing proportions of the read-in color spectrums of the LED colors to the following parameters:
- Minimum distance from Planck's curve i.e., if possible no color cast in the direction of green or magenta visible to the eye
- the color difference between the determined mixture and the reference light mode must be minimal over the recording medium film or camera.
- the user can enter permitted deviations or tolerances ⁇ CCT (K), ⁇ C_Planck (color pitch to Planckian curve), ⁇ CRI, ⁇ C_Film (mixed-color chromaticity) in addition to the setpoints.
- the result of the optimization by the program-controlled processing unit are then the proportions of the LED spectra of the LED colors entered into the program for setting an optimal mixture.
- the output of the LED mixture ie the dimming factors and luminous flux components for each of the LED colors as well as the colorimetric values for the color locus, the color temperature, the color distance to the Planckian curve, the color rendering index as well as the mixed light capability with film or color Digital camera are also calculated and output.
- the output values can be used in advance to set or calibrate the headlamp or output directly to the electronics to set the dimming factors or the amount of luminous flux required for the mixture.
- the board or the junction temperature of the LED chips can according to the invention Various methods are used, which are explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS 13 to 20.
- FIG. 13 shows a first variant in which the activation of the LEDs of the individual LED colors with pulse width modulation (PWM) takes place online, that is to say by direct input of the temperature-dependent dimming factors, for the individual LED colors to the control electronics of the LEDs or the luminous flux components required for the light mixture are output for each of the LED colors.
- PWM pulse width modulation
- the program loop is closed after the LEDs have been actuated by another temperature measurement.
- FIG. 14 shows a graph of the relative luminance versus wavelength in the approximation of the emission spectra by means of Gaussian distribution for the color groups amber and blue and shows a very good approximation to the respective measured values.
- the spectrums approximated by the Gaussian normal distribution for each color group are multiplied by the color-dependent correction factors fk determined according to the above formula.
- the dimming factors for the pulse width modulation of the individual LEDs of the LED color groups of the headlight for the light mixture at the measured temperature are then calculated and the individual LEDs of each LED color group of the headlight with the calculated dimming factors controlled via the control electronics. Also in this program sequence, the program loop is closed by a subsequent re-temperature measurement.
- the illumination device can be set with the aid of this program sequence to the newly calculated light mixture and the color correction as a result of the changed housing-internal ambient temperature, board or Junctiontemperatur is done.
- a luminance measurement is carried out with a light or V ( ⁇ ) sensor, with the aid of which the difference between the actual and the desired luminance is determined and the illumination is equalized by a uniform dimming of all color groups to the target value.
- the advantage of the control program shown in FIG. 15 is that a compensation of aging effects is possible, since a temporal brightness drop can be detected with the light sensor provided in this control program. If, instead of a light or V ( ⁇ ) sensor, an RGB or color sensor or a spectrometer is used as the sensor element, color changes of the individual LED colors of the headlamp can be recorded in addition to changes in brightness.
- the flowchart shown in FIG. 16 is used to explain a control program for controlling the LEDs of different LED color groups of a headlamp with a brightness compensation of the temperature-dependent light mixture using a light sensor.
- the program loop is closed by a new temperature measurement.
- a compensation of aging effects can be provided by a temporal brightness drop is detected by means of a light or V ( ⁇ ) sensor.
- FIG. 17 shows a flowchart for calibrating an LED headlight, which has a multidimensional table for precalculating the mixing ratios of the light source. mixtures of several LED colors at different temperatures, whereby this calculation takes place in advance outside the headlight.
- Luminance Yo f (T) determined or measured for each LED color. From this, a spectral approximation via the Gaussian normal distribution takes place for the entire temperature range of the headlight insert.

- the program-controlled processing unit shown in FIG. Incandescent and, if applicable, calculated for additional color temperature support points.
- This calculation is followed by a storage of the temperature-dependent mixing ratios, that is to say the dimming factors for the individual LEDs of the LED color groups of the headlight for the NO color temperature settings.
- NO color temperature settings can then be based on a control program for controlling the color temperature of a headlight in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG.
- Fig. 18 presupposes the determination and storage of calibration data in the microprocessor of the control electronics for the LEDs of the individual LED color groups of the headlamp for NO color temperature bases in the form of a function or in the form of a stored in the memory of the microprocessor function or table, from which the mixing ratio ie the dimming factors as a function of the ambient temperature Tu and the color temperature CCT result.
- the control program After starting the control program, a measurement of the housing-internal ambient temperature or the board or junction temperature of the LEDs, the LED Color groups or individual LEDs of each LED color group. From the actual value of the temperature measurement, the temperature-dependent dimming factors are determined from the characteristic curves stored in the memory of the control electronics and the LEDs of the individual LED color groups are controlled with the temperature-dependent new dimming factors. Also in this control program, the program loop is completed with a new temperature measurement.
- FIGS. 19 and 20 show flow diagrams for two further control methods for determining dimming factors for the temperature-dependent light mixtures of the LED color groups of a lighting device without and with the use of luminance measurement with a light or V ( ⁇ ) sensor.
- the respective dimming factors become the respective dimming factors according to the equation from the temperature-dependent factors Y determined
- T 0 of the initial or base temperature and T u of the currently measured temperature are controlled with the thus calculated dimming factors PWM (T U ) as a function of the current temperature and the program loop is closed by a new temperature measurement.
- PWM dimming factors
- the determination of temperature-dependent light mixtures of the individual LEDs of the LED color groups of the headlamp on the basis of constant luminous flux components can additionally be linked to a luminance measurement by means of a light or V ( ⁇ ) sensor.
- FIG. 20 shows a flow chart of a control program for determining dimming factors for the individual LEDs of a plurality of LED color groups of a headlight with a temperature measurement and additional luminance measurement by means of a light or V ( ⁇ ) sensor.
- the calibration data of the brightness Y and the mixing ratio bases in the form of dimming factors stored as a function or table in the memory of the microprocessor of the control electronics is a function of the ambient temperature Tu and the color temperature CCT for the LEDs of the individual LED color groups the lighting device loaded.
- calibration data warm and cold data, set-light yields, and the like, which are described in more detail below.
- 21 to 23 and 25 to 29 are flowcharts and characteristics for the relative brightness of an LED color or LED color group as a function of the board temperature T b for a further method for color stabilization of an LED lighting device shown in which the Color control by means of temperature characteristics takes place.
- the brightness of the LEDs of the individual LED colors depends on the junction temperature of the LEDs or on the measured board temperature Tb, which is measured instead of the hard-to-measure junction temperature on a printed circuit board on which light of different wavelengths or Color emitting LEDs are arranged to a mixed light emitting light source, which is controlled by a module electronics, which is arranged together with the circuit board on a module carrier and forms a light module, which can be summarized together with a variety of other lighting modules to an LED panel.
- the measured characteristics of the relative brightness Y (Tb) as a function of the board temperature T b in 0 C show a current or power-dependent curve. In all cases, the curve is steepest for higher LED power. This effect is observed both in a direct as well as a pulse width modulated PWM control of the LEDs, as is apparent from the graph shown in Fig. 22, in which the relative brightness in percent on the board temperature T b 0 C at various dimming factors and thus different current levels can be found.
- the temperature of the board temperature detecting sensor is in practice in the vicinity of the LED chips on the LED board of the light source of a light module as close as possible to the light-emitting LED chips.
- a thermal resistance is present between the temperature measuring point and the barrier layer of the LED chips, so that the measured temperature value is always lower than the junction temperature.
- the temperature difference depends on the heat output to be dissipated from the respective LED chip and thus on the recorded LED power. Since the brightness of the light of different wavelength emitting LEDs thus depends on the junction temperature, but the characteristics are recorded only as a function of the board temperature, show the measured characteristic curves of the brightness as a function of the board temperature a current or power-dependent curve.
- a temperature correction value ⁇ T is inserted, which takes into account the changes in the temperature difference between the temperature sensor and the blocking layer of the LEDs due to changed thermal outputs.
- This form can bring particular advantage over a polynomial of second degree (formula 1) advantages, even if the electronics has an (unwanted) temperature-dependent behavior and the LED current additionally depends on the temperature.
- the correction value .DELTA.T depends on the thermal resistance between the temperature sensor and the barrier layer of the LEDs as well as on the currently dissipated heat output or electrical power of the LEDs.
- the current-dependent correction value ⁇ T can be calculated from the LED currents as follows:
- the temperature correction value .DELTA.T must be taken into account as well as the parameters a, b, and c individually for each LED color.
- the current-dependent heat output of the LEDs is determined by the microprocessor from the values U LED * I LED . Since LEDs convert part of the total power into light, the heat output of the LEDs is always lower than the product U * I. This can be taken into account by an additional factor fw
- the color-dependent correction value ⁇ T is thus calculated as:
- the measured characteristic curves of the brightness Y (Tb) as a function of the board temperature Tb according to FIG. 22 show a current or power-dependent curve. In all cases, the curve is steepest for higher LED power. This effect is seen in both DC and PWM driving of the LEDs and for both AIInGaP and, to a lesser extent, InGaN materials. This effect is due to the fact that the temperature sensor for practical reasons near the LEDs on the LED board, as close to the light-emitting chips, is located. Nevertheless, there is a thermal resistance between the temperature measuring point and the barrier layer of the chips. The measured temperature value is therefore always lower than the junction temperature. The temperature difference depends per chip on the heat dissipated per chip heat output and thus on the recorded LED power, as the equivalent circuit of the thermal resistance between the LED board and barrier layer of the chips shown in FIG.
- the characteristic curves are only recorded as a function of the board temperature, the measured characteristic curves brightness as a function of the board temperature show a current or power-dependent curve.
- a temperature correction value .DELTA.T is inserted, which takes into account the changes in the temperature difference between the temperature sensor and barrier layer due to changes in heat outputs.
- the correction value .DELTA.T depends on the thermal resistance between the sensor and the barrier layer as well as on the momentarily dissipated heat output or electrical power of the LED module. It can either be calculated from these quantities, if known, or it can be determined from measurement series with different electrical powers.
- the temperature correction value .DELTA.T must be taken into account as well as the parameters A, B, C and D individually for each LED color.
- the current-dependent heat output of the LEDs is determined by the microprocessor from the values U LED * I LED . Since LEDs convert part of the total power into light, the heat output of the LEDs is always lower than the product U * I. This can be taken into account by an additional factor fw:
- the color-dependent correction value ⁇ T is thus calculated as:
- the measured behavior can be reconstructed very well, as the graph shown in FIG. 23 shows using the example of a yellow LED.
- the brightness-temperature characteristics are normalized to a "working temperature" Tn, which represents, for example, the typical operating temperature in the warm state.
- the thermal resistance Rw and the correction factor fw needed to determine the heat output of the LEDs. Often these values are unknown. Since the heat output of the LEDs is directly proportional to the electrical power of the LEDs and thus directly proportional to the dimming level of the LEDs, formula 4 can be rewritten as follows:
- the relative brightness of the LED colors with formulas 5 and 6 can be calculated during headlight operation from the current values of the board temperature Tb and the individual LED dimming levels PWM:
- Y (Tb) A + B * (Tb + ⁇ T-Tn) + C * (Tb + ⁇ T-Tn) 2 + D * (Tb + ⁇ T-Tn) 3
- the parameter E1 can be determined from the value E determined for formula 6 by dividing E by the forward voltage U Fref of the LED module used for its determination.
- the flowchart shown in FIG. 25 is used to determine the temperature characteristics of an LED module, the determination of the temperature characteristics being carried out on a random basis.
- the determined characteristic curves are then transferred to all LED modules and stored in their memory. Before saving, a conversion explained below (interpolation / extrapolation) of the characteristic parameters to the individual dominant wavelengths can be taken into account.
- the parameters a and b represent a linear approximation function of the shape
- the parameters a and b or a, b, c and a, b, c, d are stored in the LED modules, in a central control device of the LED lighting device or in an external controller.
- the flowchart shown in FIG. 26 shows the sample determination of calibration correction methods for the LED modules which are required in the operation of the LED illumination device for rapid individual brightness calibration of the LED modules.
- the calibration correction factors describe the steady state brightness factor versus the brightness measurement value shortly after the LED lighting device is turned on, and are sampled for each LED color.
- the brightness Y is measured as a function of the board temperature T bca ⁇ for each LED color immediately after switching on and stored as value Y (T bca ⁇ , to).
- kYcal Y (TbI, t1) / Y (Tbcal, t ⁇ )
- Fig. 27 is a flow chart for the brightness calibration of an LED module which serves to store the brightnesses of the LED colors in each individual LED module.
- the module electronics of the LED module can read these from the memory and compensate.
- the colors of all LED modules of an LED lighting device (such as a headlamp) light up brightly when an external controller of the LED lighting device sets desired brightness signals for the different LED colors.
- the brightness Y and the board temperature T b for each LED color is measured immediately after switching on the LED illumination device or the LED module and as value Y (T bca ⁇ , t 0 ) filed.
- the factor kY ca ⁇ corresponding to the Kalibrierkorrekturizien according to the flowchart of FIG. 26 determined.
- the home temperatures of the LED colors converted to the board temperature T b1 are stored in the respective LED module.
- the flow chart illustrated in FIG. 28 represents the method for color calibration of the LED illumination device or of a headlight.
- the measurement of the spectrum and, derived therefrom, the brightness Y as well as the standard color value components x, y are carried out for each LED color of the headlight.
- the calibration data x, y and Y (T b i) are stored for each LED color in the headlight.
- the calculation of the optimum luminous flux components of the LED colors from the measured spectra for N color temperature support points by means of the program-controlled computing unit described above.
- the luminous flux components of the LED colors for N color temperature support points are stored in the memory of the headlamp and / or the luminous flux components of the LED colors in tabular form depending on the target color location, i. H. the standard color value components x, y are stored.
- 29 shows a flow chart of the color control of a LED lighting device designed as a headlight.
- a temperature-dependent power limitation is performed, since the total power of the LED lighting device or the total current supplied to all LEDs of the LED colors must not exceed a predetermined, preferably temperature-dependent limit value; because it makes little sense, with increasing temperature and consequently decreasing brightness of the LED lighting device to supply more power in the expectation, so as to compensate for the brightness decrease of single or multiple colors.
- the temperature continues to increase, so that the luminous efficacy continues to decrease until one or more LEDs are overloaded and thus destroyed or a hardware-controlled current limitation intervenes.
- the PWM factors PWM A of the LED colors for the desired color location and the brightness are determined, if appropriate, by means of interpolation.
- the board temperature T b is measured, and in a third step, the temperature-dependent PWM correction factors for each color are measured from the characteristics stored in the memory
- a fourth step it is checked whether the total power P supplied to the LED lighting device is new or the individual LED current l new exceeds a predetermined maximum value P max or l max . If this is the case, a cut-off factor kCutoff for current or power limitation is determined, which is valid for all LED colors and accordingly
- the basic brightness of the color channels measured during calibration is used for internal brightness correction of the LED modules. This calibrates the brightness tolerances of the LED chips as well as tolerances in the electronics. From these values, the color-dependent brightness correction factors kY are then determined and stored as part of the calibration of the LED illumination system. The brightness values determined for each color during the calibration are converted to the working temperature T n via the temperature characteristic curves determined in advance as representative in the laboratory.
- the internal basic brightness levels Y are read from all connected LED modules and the brightness correction factors kY for all LED modules are calculated and stored based on the LED module with the lowest brightness. They are used for internal brightness correction of the LED modules.
- the PWM commands received from an external controller are internally multiplied in the LED modules with the brightness correction factor kY, so that all connected LED modules represent the desired color with the same brightness.
- the brightness correction factors kY are calculated during the calibration of the LED illumination device for each channel as follows:
- Y mm is the minimum of the basic brightness Y of all connected LED modules.
- the polynomial coefficient a is 1. Since the temperature characteristics depend on the peak current, in the case of a Peak current switching to the respective parameter set are used. On the working temperature T n all brightness-related calibration data are normalized.
- the maximum junction temperature of the LED chips indicates the value stored in the LED illumination for a switch-off temperature or a maximum board temperature which must be below the limit value for the maximum junction temperature of the LED chips.
- the total power of the LED module must be uniformly reduced until the board temperature T b is less than or equal to T max .
- the power reduction takes place via the color-independent power factor k P.
- the following procedure is used to calculate the module-internal dimming factors or PWM signals.
- Y (Tb, PWM) 1 + B * (Tb - Tn + dT) + C * (Tb - Tn + dT) 2 + D * (Tb - Tn + dT) 3
- Y (Tn) 1 + B * dT + C * dT 2 + D * dT 3
- the power reduction takes place via the color-independent power factor k P.
- the time constant t P (% / s) describes the speed for the power reduction and m its slope.
- the headlight can be switched off when the limit or Shutofftem- temperature is exceeded instead of dimmed, if no brightness change is allowed during operation. In this case is
- PWMtheo PWMs 0 Ii * kT * kY
- All connected LED modules receive the command SetGroupBrightness from a central power control unit, which tells them the relative brightness of the temperature-induced darkest LED module in the headlight. All other LED modules adjust their brightness to this brightness to avoid temperature-induced brightness gradients.
- each LED module sends its displayable relative brightness Y r ei, M odu l to the central power control unit (temperature-related) the brightness of the darkest LED module is determined and these as Y r ⁇ ⁇ , G r oup to all LED Module 20 sends so that they can equalize (reduce) their brightness:
- Each LED module adjusts its brightness to the group brightness.
- the factor k Gra up for the group adjustment is calculated as follows; the default value for kcroup is 1
- PWM (internal) PWM soN * kT * kY * Y re ,, M ⁇ du i * k Graup
- the relative luminous flux ratio calculated for any color or color mode is therefore related to a maximum LED power P max (W), which is stored in the memory of the headlamp.
- the temperature compensation implemented in the LED modules according to the methods described above only compensates for the brightnesses and ensures that the relative luminous flux components of the color mixture remain constant over the temperature.
- the in Figs. 30 and spectra represented 31 illustrate the differences between the cold and warm spectra for the setting 3200K (Fig. 30) and 5600K (Fig. 31) were measured at NTC temperatures of 7O 0 C and 25 0 C and the previously implemented with the Method of constant luminous flux components occur.
- the temperature-related color shift does not run exactly along the Planckian curve, especially at low color temperatures occur deviations of up to 5 threshold units from the Planckian curve. For this reason, not only the CCT deviation but also the color locus deviation (dx, dy) is compensated according to the invention.
- FIG. 32 shows the CCT deviation cold-warm as a function of the color temperature
- FIG. 33 the chromaticity deviation dx, dy (cold-warm) as a function of the target color location x for target color spaces x, y along the Planckian curve in the color temperature range between 2200 K and 24000 K
- Fig. 34 the optimum luminous flux components warm and cold as a function of the color temperature CCT.
- the compensation algorithm for the color temperature correction can be determined experimentally or mathematically.
- the optimum luminous flux components for various CCT points in warm operating condition (T N ⁇ c warm ), and the brightness-temperature characteristics are determined for a headlamp and the headlamp in the cold state (T NTC ka i t ) to different target Farbtemepraturen set.
- T N ⁇ c warm the optimum luminous flux components for various CCT points in warm operating condition
- T NTC ka i t the brightness-temperature characteristics
- the thus obtained approximation function represents the applicable color temperature correction .DELTA.CCT ka ⁇ t depending on the target color temperature for a cold headlight.
- the NTC temperature in operation between T NT c is warm and T NTC ka i t lie.
- the color temperature correction ⁇ CCT ka ⁇ t (CCT Zie i), which is determined as a function of the target color temperature, is linearly interpolated in accordance with the current T NTC value:
- , TNTC) ⁇ CCTcold (CCTz ⁇ el) / (TNTC warm - TNTC cold) * (TNTC - TNTC cold)
- the software then provides the headlamp with the color temperature corrected by the value ⁇ CCT (CCT z , e ⁇ , T NTC ).
- the method of color temperature correction leads to correct similar color temperatures of the emitted light at different NTC temperatures. However, it is not able to compensate for any additionally occurring color deviations from the Planckian curve, since the color shift to be compensated by the temperature-induced shift of the dominant wavelengths is rarely coincidentally exactly along the Planckian curve.
- the optimum luminous flux components can also be determined for the cold operating state and the correction function can be determined on the basis of the spectra or the measured data of the headlamp in the warm operating state.
- this compensation method is easy to perform, but works for the correction of the color location, for example, for maximum brightness. However, it does not provide optimum luminous flux components and poses the risk of CRI deterioration. In addition, it is only for a color temperature setting, but not for any color, eg for effect colors, applicable.
- This compensation method requires two correction functions for the standard color value components x and y.
- the correction functions for the color locus correction can be carried out analogously to the Equal algorithm for the color temperature can be determined either experimentally or mathematically.
- determined as a function of the target color location t (CCT Z ⁇ e ⁇ ) are linearly interpolated according to the current T NTC value:
- ⁇ X, ⁇ y (CCTziel, TNTC) ⁇ X, ⁇ y ⁇ ⁇ a
- the software then gives the headlamp the values corrected by the values ⁇ x (CCT Z ⁇ e ⁇ , T NTC ) and ⁇ x (CCT Z ⁇ e ⁇ , T NTC )
- the optimum luminous flux components for the cold operating state can be determined as an alternative and the correction functions can be determined on the basis of the spectra or the measured data of the headlamp in the warm operating state.
- the method of color locus correction described leads to correct color locations along the Planckian curve of the emitted light at different NTC temperatures. Desired color temperatures can thus be set exactly along the Planckian curve.
- This compensation method gives the best color rendering index (CRI), represents the most accurate (x, y) method for color rendering optimized and brightness optimized blends, the most accurate (x, y) blend method, and is applicable to any color.
- CRI color rendering index
- the time spent during headlamp calibration increases only marginally. Without the use of this compensation method, the headlight would be in warm and thus calibrated in a typical operating condition, wherein the time required for the calibration consists essentially of the insertion of the headlamp into the measuring device, connection of the headlamp to the supply and control units and the start of the calibration software and the heating time to the calibration temperature T NTC warm .
- the actual acquisition of the spectra takes place within seconds.
- the "cold spectra" are only recorded before the beginning of the heating phase and processed accordingly by the software, which can take place within a few seconds and requires no additional activities from the user.
- This method can be used for the following modes:
- the spectra of the primary colors are recorded in the cold (T NTCka i t ) and warm (T NTC warm ) state, and the optimum luminous flux components of the LED colors used for some CCT support points are calculated and stored in the headlight or control unit:
- Yrel (CCT, TNTC) Yrel_cold (CCT) + (TNTC - TNTC cold) * (Yrel_warm (CCT) - Yrel_cold (CCT)) / (TNTC warm - TNTC cold)
- the mixtures of the two CCT interpolation points are calculated as described above for the current NTC temperature and then interpolated between the two CCT interpolation points in such a way that the desired target color temperature is achieved , b. Adjustment of any color locations or effect colors with the best possible luminous efficacy or brightness, ie brightness-optimized.
- any brightness-optimized color loci which can be both "white” color bars with an arbitrary color temperature and any effect colors that lie within the displayable LED gamut, according to the laws of additive color mixing only the standard color values X, Y, Z
- the standard color values X, Y, Z can be calculated from the chromaticity coordinates x, y and the brightness-proportional value Y using the well-known formulas of the colorimetry, so that it suffices to set the values x, y and Y in To know dependence on the NTC temperature.
- the standard color value components are calculated from the “cold spectra” and the “warm spectra” of the LED primary colors and stored together with the brightness value Y in the memory of the headlight or control unit:
- the required color values of the primary colors can be calculated by linear interpolation depending on the current NTC temperature:
- X (TNTC) Xkalt + (TNTC - TNTC cold) * (Xwarm - Xcold)
- y (TNTc) Ykalt + (TNTC - TNTC cold) * (ywarm - Ykalt)
- the LED power of the same color LEDs can vary due to the flux voltage tolerances because the temperature difference between the value measured at the NTC and the blocking layer of the LEDs depends on the forward voltage, a correction is carried out. in which the power-dependent temperature correction is calculated individually for each LED module as a function of the individual LED forward voltages UF.
- the individual forward voltage UF also depends to a small extent on the temperature. It can either be considered approximately constant and e.g. is measured and stored once during calibration, or it is measured by the microcontroller in a more accurate way during headlight operation or the value determined during calibration is corrected as a function of the current NTC temperature.
- the data sheets of the LED manufacturers contain the corresponding data dUF / dT.
- Y (T_NTC) 1 + B t emp * (T N ⁇ c -Tn + dTpwwi o) + C t emp * (T N ⁇ c -Tn + dTpwwi o) 2 + D t emp * (T N ⁇ c -Tn + dTpwwi o) 3
- T_NTO 1 + B 1 * (T NTC -Tn) + C 1 * (T NTC -Tn) 2 + D 1 * (T NTC -Tn) 3
- T _ NTC 1 + B 1 * (T NTC -Tn + dT) + C 1 * (T NTC -Tn + dT) 2 + D 1 * (T NTC -Tn + dT) 3
- a correction or adaptation of the stored temperature coefficients as a function of the dominant wavelength, in particular for AlInGaP chips (amber, red), is carried out, the characteristic curves being individual for each LED module Wavelengths are adjusted.
- the polynomial parameters A ... E are determined for each color as a function of the dominant wavelength.
- the spectra of the LED colors and the associated NTC temperature are detected. This can be done in the context of module calibration and selection and is usually no additional effort.
- the spectrum becomes the dominant wavelengths per color calculated.
- the polynomial parameters A... E determined beforehand on individual modules are corrected in accordance with the deviation of the individual dominant wavelengths of the module to be calibrated from the dominant wavelength of the module from which the characteristic curves were determined.
- the conversion of the polynomial parameters to a particular dominant wavelength LED can be done by linear interpolation of the polynomial of two known curves of two LEDs of different dominant wavelengths to the new dominant wavelength.
- the most accurate results are obtained when the dominant wavelengths of the original curves and the dominant wavelength to be converted are as close as possible to each other. It is not allowed to interpolate between given curves of different LED technologies like AIInGaP and InGaN.
- the curve including the polynomial parameter A ... D for a polynomial 3rd degree for a yellow LED with dominant wavelength I_dom_gelb1 then additionally the curve including the polynomial parameter A ... D is required for a similar LED with a different dominant Wavelength I_dom_gelb2 (with slightly greater uncertainty also orange or red).
- the polynomial parameters A ... D for a yellow LED with dominant wavelength I_dom_gelb3 are then obtained by linear interpolation of the polynomial parameters for the curves with I_dom_gelb1 or I_dom_gelb2 in dependence on the wavelength difference.
- the brightness-temperature characteristics dependent on the pulse width modulation were used for the color and brightness stabilization, and the luminous flux components of a color mixture calculated for the warm operating state were kept constant for different NTC temperatures.
- a "power normalization” has been introduced to keep the maximum LED power for each color mixture constant when the warm operating state is reached, thus preventing premature overshooting or exceeding of a shutdown temperature using power normalization (eg 5 W LED power per module) an individual "internal" power dimming factor is calculated and applied for each set color mixture.
- Each color mixture can thus be adjusted with optimum brightness or optimum internal dimming factor without the Shutofftemperatur is reached or exceeded in normal environmental conditions.
- the power normalization is done specifically for the warm operating state, because here, because of the negative brightness temperature characteristic of the LEDs, a higher LED current or a higher LED power must be applied to keep the brightness of the headlamp over the temperature constant. At temperatures below the switch-off temperature, the headlamp automatically operates at lower power. In order to keep the brightness constant without ever having to set a power higher than Pmax, this maximum power may only be achieved at the switch-off temperature.
- each set color location could be set with the highest possible as well as the constant brightness operating temperature.
- the measured brightness changes per color locus varied less than 1% between cold and warm.
- the disadvantage is that changed due to the spectral shift of the LED primary colors used on the operating temperature of the set color location.
- the extent of color change was hanging from the color location and the respective color mixture and was in the order of 300 K between cold and warm, with the color temperature decreased at higher temperatures, since the effect of the temperature-dependent Spektralshift especially the AIInGaP LEDs is pronounced in the yellow to red color range.
- the change in the dominant wavelength in dependence is about 0.1 nm / K for yellow, orange and red AlInGaP LEDs.
- the remedy was provided by the above-described compensation of the temperature-dependent spectral shift essentially by duplication of the calibration data for the warm to the cold state and temperature-dependent linear interpolation. This algorithm was able to dramatically improve color consistency over the operating temperature.
- the compensation of the spectral shift sometimes caused massive luminous flux changes of a set color to well over 10% between the cold and warm operating states.
- the extent and direction of the change in brightness depend on the selected color location or the color mixture and thus could not be readily determined or compensated.
- the associated luminous efficiencies for the warm operating state ⁇ N ⁇ c_ warm (CCT, T NT c_ warm are also calculated and stored in the memory
- Luminous efficacy Setan Each headlamp ensures that the set color (CCT or x, y) is correct due to the module-internal temperature compensation and the calibration data Y, x, y (per color) stored in the headlamp. In a set consisting of several headlamps then all headlights have the same color - but possibly different brightnesses.
- both the color location and the luminous efficacy of the LED primary colors used can vary from headlight to headlight, since the optimum luminous flux components for cold and warm operation are available for setting color rendering-optimized color temperatures for each headlight for different CCT support points - was determined and deposited. These optimum luminous flux components and associated luminous efficiencies may vary from headlamp to headlamp due to LED tolerances. Different headlights therefore require individual LED mixtures in order to be able to set the desired color location safely.
- a brightness adjustment function is required, for example by the controller, in which the brighter spotlights for each color are set to the lowest brightness within the set. ie to reduce.
- the light output in the warm state is additionally calculated and stored for the color mixtures of all CCT support points.
- the lowest light output of all the headlamps belonging to the set is determined for each CCT base and stored as set light output of the CCT base in all headlamps. From this, the set-light yield correction factor is determined during operation as a function of the CCT and the current NTC temperature
- k ⁇ Set (CCT, T NTC ) ⁇ set (CCT, T NTC warm) / ⁇ (CCT, T NTC ) determined and multiplied the determined PWM shares, ie all headlights are set per CCT base to the brightness of the lowest light output within the set.
- This method opens up two options:
- any CCTs with maximum possible brightness The brightness of a set CCT is constant both within all headlights of a set and over the temperature. When changing the CCT, however, the brightness may change according to the associated set-light output.
- T N ⁇ c warm NTC temperature for warm operating condition T NTCka i t NTC temperature for cold operating condition ⁇ Set f (CCT) Set light output for warm operating condition
- PWMi Y re i, / Y100, PWM signals for setting the luminous flux components
- Total brightness ⁇ PWMi * Y100, total brightness of the current mixture before
- Total power ⁇ PWMi * P100, total power of the current mixture before correction
- the set match may be e.g. within the calibration. All the bill heads of a production series could also be considered as a set. In addition, all sets of a production series would represent the desired CCTs with the same brightness.
- the set can also be adopted by the controller. It reads in the corresponding headlight calibration data, determines the minimum set light efficiencies and saves these as set calibration data in the calibration data.
- the set procedure is as follows:
- the controller reads from all connected headlights:
- k ⁇ Set (CCT, T NTC ) ⁇ Set min / ⁇ (CCT, T NTC ).
- the determined PWM signals are multiplied by the set light output correction factor k ⁇ Set (CCT, T NTC ).
