title: LED light with enhanced color saturation and improved white light perception.
abstract: The light emitting diodes (LEDs) with high light quality were investigated to enhance the color appearance of the illuminated objects and increase the white light perception of the ambience. The spectral power distributions of the LED lights were optimized by addition of the RGB components and by shifting the color coordinate below the blackbody line to get desired color rendering index (CRI) and high gamut area index (GAI). The results of the human factor study reveal that the "perfect" white light can be achieved to both enhance color saturation and improve light visual impression. The effects of observer metamerism were studied to clarify the observed phenomenon that the white lights with the same color coordinates were perceived differently by real observers.
