Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Modulated light sources are described. A modulated light source may have first light sources that are configured to emit first light, which has first color components that occupy a range that is beyond one or more prescribed ranges of light wavelengths. The modulated light source may also have a light converter that is configured to be illuminated by the first light. The light converter converts the first light into second light. The second light has one or more second color components that are within the one or more prescribed ranges of light wavelengths. Strengths of the one or more second color components in the second light are monitored and regulated to produce a particular point within a specific color gamut.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A modulated light source comprising: a plurality of light-emitting diodes that emit a first light having at least one of a blue color component and an ultraviolet color component, at least one of the plurality of light-emitting diodes controlled individually; and a patterned light converter illuminated by the first light that converts the first light into second light, the second light including a red color component; and a reflective layer illuminated b…
