A Color Compensation Method for Three Primary-color LED Light Sources

Abstract

The three primary-color LED light source modules produce a color within the gamut space by the Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) duty cycle. In a host control multiple LED module system, due to the specificity of the three primary-color LED light sources, different light source modules cannot generate the same target color coordinates according to the same set of duty ratio data, thereby causing a color inconsistency in each light source. This paper proposes an algorithm for personalizing the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) values by using the three primary-color coordinates obtained by feedbacks. Through extensive experiments, the algorithm can effectively reduce the color difference produced by different LED lamp beads. The algorithm has a small amount of calculation and can be easily implemented in practical devices.
