Color mixing light source and color control data system
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a color mixing light source having a first laser configured to lase at one or a plurality of light emission wavelengths of 459 nanometers or less and a second laser configured to lase at one or a plurality of light emission wavelengths of 470 nanometers or more; and
a controller having a color control data input, and a color control data output configured to cause the color mixing light source to generate a perceptual mixture of light having a perceptual color, the perceptual mixture including light emissions from the first and second light sources.

Abstract
Apparatus including a color mixing light source having a first laser configured to lase at one or a plurality of light emission wavelengths of 459 nanometers or less and a second laser configured to lase at one or a plurality of light emission wavelengths of 470 nanometers or more; and a controller having a color control data input and a color control data output configured to cause the color mixing light source to generate a perceptual mixture of light having a perceptual color, the perceptual mixture including light emissions from the first and second light sources. System configured to map first color control data to second color control data. Method of forming a perceptual mixture of light having a perceptual color. Method of converting color control data.

10. A method, comprising:
-
outputting light from a first light source emitting light at one or a plurality of first light emission wavelengths of 459 nanometers or less, and outputting light from a second light source emitting light at one or a plurality of second light emission wavelengths of 470 nanometers or more; and forming a perceptual mixture of light having a perceptual color, the perceptual mixture including light emissions from the first and second light sources. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A system, including:
-
first color control data conforming to a first perceptual color space; second color control data conforming to a second perceptual color space; and a digital data processor configured to map the first color control data to the second color control data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A method, including:
-
receiving color control data conforming to a first perceptual color space, and identifying the first perceptual color space; accessing color control data defining a second perceptual color space; mapping the first perceptual color space into the second perceptual color space; and converting the received color control data conforming to the first perceptual color space into color control data conforming to the second perceptual color space. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
