1. A light emitting device, comprising:
- a first light emitting diode (LED) emitting a first light emission of at least a first wavelength, anda second light emitting diode emitting a second light emission of at least a second wavelength, the second LED being placed in close proximity to the first LED such that after a mixing length from the first and second LEDs, a combination of the first and second lights is perceived as one color in the human vision; and
a power source which outputs a plurality of periodic discontinuous pulses for alternately driving the first and second LEDs in the time domain.

Abstract
A light emitting device includes a first light emitting diode (LED) emitting a first light emission of at least a first wavelength, and a second light emitting diode emitting a second light emission of at least a second wavelength. The second LED is placed in close proximity to the first LED such that after a mixing length from the first and second LEDs, a combination of the first and second lights is perceived as one color in the human vision. In use, the first and second LEDs are alternately driven by a power source in the time domain.

25. A light emitting device, comprising:
-
a first light emitting diode (LED) emitting blue light; a second light emitting diode emitting amber light, the second light emitting diode being placed in close proximity to the first light emitting diode such that the combination of the blue and amber light form white light; and an alternate current power source which outputs a plurality of periodic discontinuous pulses for alternately, repeatedly and sequentially driving the first LED and the second LED in the time domain, wherein the pulses includes a first and a second set of pulses each set being of a first and second number of pulses within a predetermined period of time, and wherein the color perceived can be determined and controlled by controlling a ratio of the first number to the second number and/or by controlling a ratio of the pulse width of the first set to the pulse width of the second set. - View Dependent Claims (26)
