| Title: |
Illumination Device With Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), Method of Illumination and Method For Image Recording With Such An LED Illumination Device |
| Abstract: |
Illumination device with light emitting diodes (LED) and an LED support
element on which a number of light pixels are arranged which emit light
are disclosed. The light pixels each comprise a number of LEDs with
emission wavelengths suitable for additive color mixing of the light from
the light pixels. A controller is provided on the LED support element, for
setting a color temperature and intensity parameter of the additively
color mixed light of each individual light pixel. The controller assigns
electrical LED currents to the color temperature and intensity parameters
and controls the LEDs in the light pixels using the assigned LED currents.
Control devices measure the color temperature and intensity of the emitted
light of at least one light pixel, compare the measured and the pre-set
color temperature and intensity parameters of the light pixel and in the
case of a difference in the measured and pre-set color temperature and
intensity parameters regulates the controller such that the emitted light
from the light pixel has the pre-set color temperature and intensity
parameters.
