  • Patent number: 7825574
    Abstract: The illumination system makes simultaneous use of the color-mixing principle from blue, green and red (RGB mixing) and the principle of converting of a primary radiation emitted by an LED into light with a longer wavelength by a phosphor which absorbs this radiation, with at least two LEDs being used, of which a first LED emits primarily in the range from 340 to 470 nm (dominant wavelength) and a second LED emits in the red region at 600 to 700 nm (dominant wavelength), wherein the green component is produced by the primary radiation of the first LED being at least partially converted by a green-emitting phosphor, the green-emitting phosphor used being a phosphor from the class of the oxynitridosilicates, having a cation M and the empirical formula M(1?c)Si2O2N2:Dc, M comprising Sr as a constituent and D being doped with divalent europium, where M=Sr or M=Sr(1?x?y)BayCax with x+y<0.5 is used, the oxynitridosilicate completely or predominantly comprising the high-temperature-stable modification HT.

  • Patent number: 7530710
    Abstract: A color-tunable illumination system for imaging illumination having a tuning means and at least two light sources of different colors. The illumination system comprises a reflector having a reflector contour, the light sources being accommodated in the vicinity of the reflector contour, and a compact diffusing medium accommodated at the focal point of the reflector. The light from the light sources is directed substantially onto the diffusing medium and then, from there, is diffused onto the reflector contour, electronic driving of the light sources making it possible to regulate the intensity of the light sources separately from one another, with the result that the light leaving the reflector can be color-tuned.
