Optimization and integration of LED array for uniform illumination distribution

A design method for light-emitting diode （LED） array is proposed to achieve a good uniform illumination distribution on target plane. By using random walk algorithm, the basic LED array modules are optimized ftrstly. The optimized basic arrays can generate uniform illumination distribution on their target plane. The optimized basic LED array mod- ules can be integrated into a large LED array module with more than tens of LEDs. In the large array, we can select a sub-array with K LEDs （K〉7）, which can produce the good uniform illumination distribution. By this way, we design two LED arrays which consist of 21 and 25 LEDs, respectively. The 21-LED array and 25-LED array can generate uniform illumination distributions with the uniformities of 95% and 90%, respectively.

Code Division-Based Sensing of Illumination Contributions in Solid-State Lighting Systems

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged as a prime candidate for the light source of the future. To enable easy user interaction with a future lighting system consisting of many LEDs, this paper proposes a method to accurately measure and estimate the local light contributions of a large set of LEDs. This is enabled through tagging the light of each LED with an unique identifier. To this end, we propose a new family of modulation and multiple access schemes in this paper, named code-time division multiple access-pulse position modulation (CTDMA-PPM) and CTDMA-pulse width modulation (CTDMA-PWM). These schemes satisfy illumination constraints, are compatible with the commonly used PWM dimming of LEDs, and meet the multi-signal separation requirements for simultaneous measurement of illumination strengths. Based on these modulation methods, the paper develops algorithms to estimate illumination. Finally, performance analyses show that even for a very large number of LEDs, the sensing performance of the proposed system satisfies the requirements up to an adequate range.

Let there be light [gallium nitride LED]

The incandescent light bulb rolled back the night around the start of the 20th century. The gallium nitride LED will light the way in the 21st. The development of the gallium nitride (GaN) LED, made it possible to get white light from a semiconductor. GaN LEDs are already quietly transforming specialized illumination, including architectural and stage lighting, indoor and outdoor accent lighting, traffic and railway signaling, commercial and retail signs and displays, and outdoor illumination on bridges, walkways, gardens, and fountains. Lumen for lumen, white LEDs cost roughly 100 times as much as an incandescent bulb. Not to worry, say researchers. Not only will they get the cost down, they are going to dazzle us with devices that will be 10 times as efficient as an incandescent and will last 100 times as long. By mixing light from LEDs of different colors, the devices will provide 1000 shades of white-or any hue under the sun-at the twist of a dial.     

Uniform Illumination Rendering Using an Array of LEDs: A Signal Processing Perspective

An array of a large number of LEDs will be widely used in future indoor illumination systems. In this paper, we investigate the problem of rendering uniform illumination by a regular LED array on the ceiling of a room. We first present two general results on the scaling property of the basic illumination pattern, i.e., the light pattern of a single LED, and the setting of LED illumination levels, respectively. Thereafter, we propose to use the relative mean squared error as the cost function to measure the uniformity of the realized illumination pattern, and provide an analysis for this cost function. Based on the analysis, the design of a basic illumination pattern is discussed. The performances of a few basic illumination patterns are compared, and an approach for optimizing the basic illumination pattern through a weighted combination of these basic patterns is also proposed. A weighted combination of Gaussian and raised-cosine functions is found to yield the best results. Finally, three basic regular grid shapes for an LED array are compared. The results show that 13% and 39% of LEDs can be saved for the same degree of uniformity, using the hexagonal instead of the rectangular and triangular grid, respectively.
