Precise Color Control of Red-Green-Blue Light-Emitting Diode Systems

摘要

The complex nature and differences of the luminous and thermal characteristics of red, green, and blue (RGB) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) make precise color control of RGB LED systems a great technological challenge. This paper presents a nonlinear model that includes coupling effects among LED devices for predicting color in RGB LED systems. A control method is included to demonstrate that this model can be used for precise color control. The proposed model and control method have been successfully evaluated in practical tests. The measurements agree well with model predictions. They form a new design tool for precise color control of RGB LED systems.
