A device is also provided that changes the reflection spectrum of the irradiated skin, which is determined by the specific absorption and reflection behavior, such that the changed reflection spectrum brings about a color change perceptible to the eye when a predetermined borderline spectrum is reached, whereas no color change perceptible to the eye is yet noticeable if the reflection spectrum is unchanged.

Abstract: An LED matrix control system using a plurality of FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) in between a CPU and a LED matrix. One FPGA controls a first set of LED's and a second FPGA controls a second set of LED's. The first FPGA controls all of the column lines of an LED matrix, and controls a sub set of the row lines of the LED matrix. The second FPGA also controls all of the column lines and controls another sub set of the row lines. Each FPGA receives the same information from the CPU. Each FPGA also has a config line. The config line of one FPGA is connected to a logical zero, and the config line of the other FPGA is connected to a logical one. Each FPGA only enables or energizes one row at a time. The rows are energized on and off so quickly, that the human persistence of vision causes the appearance of the energized LED's to always appear lit.
