In this paper, we propose an indoor RSSI (received signal strength indication)-based localization method that uses virtually overlapped visible light with an indoor LED lighting system. In our system, a photodiode (PD) measures the RSSI from LED lamps that blink in one row or column units. Subsequently, the RSSI is used to obtain the horizontal distances between the LED lamps and the receiver with the predetermined characteristics curve, R-D curve, that represents the relation between the RSSI and the horizontal distances. When the controlled LED lamps blink in one row or column units, the R-D curve at the border of the LED lamps is different because of the weak lighting, which results in the position sensing error of the receiver. The deviation of the optical power of each LED also causes the error. To solve these problems, we propose a method that overlaps the visible light through the numerical operation at the receiver side without any modification of the light source side. Our proposed method has been simulated in a room measuring $1.2{\times}1.2{\times}1.8m^3$ considering the effect of the error on the optical power of the LED. The simulation result shows that the proposed method eliminates the error condition with the R-D curve and achieves an average positioning error of 13.4 mm under the error rate 3% of the optical power.

In this paper, the method to calculate chromaticity coordinate from spectral power distribution of LED is presented. Also, inverse tri-stimulus algorithm to find mixed luminance of red, green, blue LED from targeted luminance and chromaticity coordinate is proposed. Besides, digital light color control system of LED lamp applied this algorithm has been developed. In experiments, each chromaticity coordinate of red, green, blue LED calculated from this algorithm has relative percentage error of few % to measured values. Digital code is drawn from inverse tri-stimulus algorithm, and measured values of luminance and chromaticity coordinate of LED lamp digitally controlled by this code also have relative percentage error within a few % to targeted luminance and chromaticity coordinate.

반도체 기술의 발전으로 기존에 전자회로 부품으로 사용되던 LED(Light Emitting Diode)는 차세대 조명용 광원으로 대두되고 있다. LED는 소비전력이 작아 에너지를 절약할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 수명이 길어 유지보수 비용이 획기적으로 줄어든다. 현재 신호등과 같은 지시용 조명기기를 대체할 광원으로 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. LED는 자체적인 발열은 적지만 주변온도에 민감하게 광도가 변화한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 높은 온도는 LED의 수명에도 영향을 미쳐 열화를 빨리 가져오게 된다. 따라서 정전류제어를 통해 LED의 전류를 일정하게 하고 온도변화에 영향을 받지 않고 광도를 일정하게 유지하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 정전류 구동회로에 열화로 인한 LED의 수명의 연장하기 위해 온도변화에 따라 LED의 구동전류와 일정한 광출력을 유지하기 위한 제어회로를 제안하였다. 제안한 제어회로는 시뮬레이션을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

LED beacons operated on an isolated marine area are mostly employing the solar power supply system, and this system is well known for increasing the cost of management and maintenance. Recently, a number of researches and demonstrations on self-contained LED beacon is actively conducted to solve this issue. In this work, we propose an self-contained LED beacon with Bluetooth Low Energy function for an effective management of LED beacon. Firstly, control program structure is designed by expanding the status protocol of self-contained LED beacon, and then it is implemented into the form which administrator can easily understand. The control system visualizes the status and control data of self-contained LED beacon, and this enables the rapid decision-making of administrator. Also, minimizing electricity consumption of the beacon, it can transfer and update the status or light information of self-contained LED beacons with smart phone.

The performance of developed LED lantern is better than that of the existing marine lantern using an incandescent electric lamp and that of foreign products(Vega LED lantern made in New Zealand, Tideland system made in America). The electric consumption of our products is 30% compared with that of existing marine lantern using an incandescent electric lamp, and the luminous Intensity of them is 200% to 400% compared with that of existing marine lantern and foreign LED lantern. In addition, our LED lantern system is easy to repairing something wrong and changing the LED module and other controllers on the sea when they are in accident.

Local dimming driving has advantages in reducing power consumption and improving contrast ratio(CR). In an LED backlight unit(BLU), many small LED blocks are implemented in 2-dimmensional space, and luminance of the blocks is controlled by a local dimming algorithm. However, such a BLU can induce various recognizable artifacts. A new novel algorithm is proposed for exact block luminance calculation to correct local dimming artifacts. Also we discuss modified low-gray-level dimming to achieve much aggressive power saving in a local dimming BLU system.
