| Title: |
Incremental Color Blending Illumination System Using LEDs |
| Abstract: |
A plurality of color LEDs are commonly coupled to a source of operating
supply. A plurality of switching transistors and current limiting
resistors in series therewith are coupled to the color LEDs to control the
current there through in response to switching transistor conduction. A
microcontroller having an input signal and a plurality of outputs
configured in response thereto is operatively coupled to the plurality of
switching transistors to control the conduction and thereby illumination
output of the color LEDs to achieve incremental color blending.
