  • Patent number: 10966294
    Abstract: An illumination device for a motor vehicle includes one or more multi-color LED units which each have a settable color point and settable brightness, wherein each multi-color LED unit is an individual semiconductor component having multiple single-color LEDs of different colors and a microcontroller. The single-color LEDs and the microcontroller are surrounded by a housing of the semiconductor component. The microcontroller is designed to control each single-color LED of an associated multi-color LED unit depending on a current temperature value of the associated multi-color LED unit in such a way that a set color point and a set brightness are held constant during operation of the associated multi-color LED unit.

  • Publication number: 20190075632
    Abstract: An illumination device, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes one or more multi-color LED units which each have a settable color point and a settable brightness. Each multi-color LED unit is an individual semiconductor component having multiple single-color LEDs of different colors and a microcontroller, wherein the single-color LEDs and the microcontroller are surrounded by a housing of the semiconductor component. Calibration data which describe a dependency of at least one color point and at least one brightness of the associated multi-color LED unit on operating currents of the single-color LEDs are stored in the microcontroller. The microcontroller is designed to control each single-color LED depending on a set color point and a set brightness of the associated multi-color LED unit by setting the operating currents of the associated single-color LEDs using the calibration data.
