Abstract
An illumination apparatus includes: a light emitter which emits first illumination light that is illumination light for illuminating a display, wherein the first illumination light has a correlated color temperature in a range from 4000 K to 5800 K, and u′v′ chromaticity coordinates in an XYZ colorimetric system in a range which satisfies 0.7125u′+0.3284<v′<0.7125u′+0.3339.
Claims19
An illumination apparatus, comprising:
- a light emitter which emits first illumination light that is illumination light for illuminating a display screen,
- wherein, in a u′v′ chromaticity diagram which is a CIE 1976 uniform chromaticity scale diagram, the first illumination light has a correlated color temperature in a range from 4000 K to 5800 K, and u′v′ chromaticity coordinates in a range which satisfies 0.7125u′+0.3284<v′<0.7125u′+0.3339, and
- wherein the first illumination light is emitted onto the display screen.
An illumination control system, comprising:
- an illumination apparatus comprising:
- a light emitter which emits first illumination light that is illumination light for illuminating a display screen, wherein, in a u′v′ chromaticity diagram which is a CIE 1976 uniform chromaticity scale diagram, the first illumination light has a correlated color temperature in a range from 4000 K to 5800 K, and u′v′ chromaticity coordinates in a range which satisfies 0.7125u′+0.3284<v′<0.7125u′+0.3339, and wherein the first illumination light is emitted onto the display screen;
- a controller which controls the light emitter, wherein:
- the controller controls the light emitter to cause the first illumination light to have a constant correlated color temperature in a range from 4000 K to 5000 K during a first time period from a predetermined time in morning to around 3:00 p.m.,
- the controller controls the light emitter to cause the first illumination light to have a correlated color temperature which increases in a range from 5000 K to 5800 K as time elapses during a second time period from around 3:00 p.m. to sunset, and
- the controller controls the light emitter to cause the first illumination light to have a constant color in a range from 4000 K to 5000 K during a third time period from sunset to a predetermined time in night;
- a light color detector which detects a light color, wherein the controller controls the light emitter, based on the light color detected by the light color detector, to cause the first illumination light to have a color according to color tuning control schedule information predetermined;
- and
- a storage which stores the color tuning control schedule information;
- and
- an operation input controller which operates the illumination apparatus, wherein the color tuning control schedule information is created according to a user operation on the operation input controller, and stored into the storage.
