Chroma

•Hue (φ)– that quality of color which we describe by the words red, yellow, green, blue, etc.

•Value (z)– that quality of color which we describe by the words light, dark, etc., relating the color to a gray of similar lightness.

•Chroma (r)– that quality which describes the extent to which a color differs from a gray of the same level.

White Illuminant – the Solar Spectra

• Note: There are many ways to create white light • Sunlight is not an efficient way to create white light. Why?

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

55

Color Temperature

• Planckian spectrum or black-body radiation spectrum • As temperature increases, objects sequentially glow in the red, orange,

yellow, and whiteRef: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

56

Color Gamut

• Color gamut • Gamut of Red-Green-Blue light source has triangular shape • Area of gamut matters for displays, color printers, etc.

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

57

Example of color mixing

• RGB color mixing • Color gamut • Gamut size increases with the number of light sources

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

58

Color Rendering• A light source has color rendering capability • This is the capability to render the true colors of an object •• Example: False color rendering • What is the color of a yellow banana when illuminated with a red LED? • What is the color of a green banana when illuminated with a yellow

LED?

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

Example of Color Rendering

59

• Clear differences in the color rendition can be seen in this August Renoir painting (left-hand side: high CRI; right-hand side: low CRI)

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

60

Color Rendering Index• The color rendering capability of a test light source is measured in

terms of the color rendering index • Color rendering index of a high-quality reference light source is CRI =

100 • An incandescent light source with the same color temperature serves

as the reference light source • Eight color sample objects serve as test objects •• Example:

Color sample under reference source

illumination

Color sample under test source illumination

slight difference in color!

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

61

Calculation of Color Rendering Index

• CIE color definition: Color = Brightness, hue, and saturation • Color rendering index: CRI = 100 – Σi = 1…8 ∆Ei* • ∆Ei* represents color change • CRI is a very good metric – but not a perfect one!

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

62

Reflectivity of Color Sample Objects

• Sample objects (Fruit, wood, etc.)

• 8 standard objects ( General CRI)

• 6 additional objects (Special CRIs)

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

Discussions of Color rendering index (CRI)

63

• The reference objects are illuminated with reference light source. As a result, object will have a certain color.

• The reference objects are then illuminated with test light source. As a result, object will have a certain, but different, color.

• The CRI is a measure of the sum of the differences in color.

• If color difference is zero, then CRI = 100

• If color difference is > zero, then CRI < 100

• Some applications require high and very high CRI. Examples?

• Some applications do not require a high CRI. Examples?

• For some applications, CRI is irrelevant. Examples?

• Caution: CRI depends on the selection of the reference light source. Recommended for reference light source: Planckian radiator.

Photometry

66

Photometry vs Radiometry

67

History of Photometric Units

• Photograph shows plumber’s candle • A plumber’s candle emits a luminous

intensity of 1 candela (cd). The cd is historical origin of all photometric units.

• First definition (now obsolete): The luminous intensity of a standardized candle is 1 cd.

• Second definition (now obsolete): 1 cm2 of platinum (Pt) at 1042 K (temperature of solidification) has a luminous intensity of 20.17 cd.

• Third definition (current): A monochromatic light source emitting an optical power of (1/683) Watt at 555 nm into the solid angle of 1 steradian (sr) has a luminous intensity of 1 cd.

• Candlepower and candle are obsolete units. Candlepower and candlemeasure luminous intensity and are approximately equal to one cd.

Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

68

Luminous Flux, Illuminance, and Luminance

• luminous flux: A light source with a luminous intensity of 1 cd emits a luminous flux of 1 lm into a solid angle of one steradian

• An isotropic light source with a luminous intensity of 1 cd emits a total luminous flux of 4π lm = 12.56 lm

• Illuminance: If a 1 m2 surface receives a luminous flux of 1 lm, then the illuminance of the surface is 1 lux

• Example: Moonlight 1 lux; reading light 102 – 103 lux; surgery light 104

lux; direct sunlight 105 lux•• Luminance is the luminous intensity emitted per unit area of a light

source. Luminance is a figure of merit for displays. Typical displays have a luminance of 100 – 500 cd/m2.
