Mixed color leds for auto vanity mirrors and other applications where color differentiation is critical

摘要

A light emitting array comprised of a plurality of light emitting diodes of different colors. One LED is a blue or near ultraviolet LED coated with a phosphor that can be excited to emit a yellowish light. A second diode emits red light. Individual control of the drive current for the LEDs permits controlling the color balance of the light emitted by the array to closely approximate natural sunlight or to emphasize another spectral compliment. In an alternative version, the LED array comprises a red diode, a blue diode, and a green diode. Also disclosed is an automobile sun visor mounted vanity mirror illuminated by the new LED array.
