The limitations and disadvantages of both the entropy approach and the concept of uncertainty are indicated. As a compromise solution, it is proposed to use a criterion based on the Bongard’s uncertainty and useful information. The concept of information uncertainty is proposed, which is estimated by the amount of negative useful information, that is, misinformation introduced by the measuring instrument. Some methods for calculating information uncertainty are described. \u0000The problems of using the uncertainty approach are noted. This approach does not imply the use of such a generalized characteristic of measuring instruments as an accuracy class. The article proposes an analogue of the accuracy class in the form of relative informational uncertainty, expressed as a percentage.

The aim of this work is to study the photobiological safety of light image projectors with light emitting diodes. The paper analyzes the requirements for photobiological safety of tube systems and methods for assessing the danger of blue light of projectors that use LED light sources.

When the distance is reduced to 0.5 m and 0.2 m, the risk of blue light increases to the RG2 group (medium risk). \u0000The features of the requirements for photobiological safety of blue light of image projectors used in everyday life, educational institutions and in other conditions are analyzed.
