Abstract:
A method is provided for forming multiple-LED (light-emitting-diode) light emitters from a plurality of LEDs, wherein the number of LEDs in each emitter is an integer M. The method includes providing a plurality of LEDs, each of the LEDs characterized by a first parameter and a second parameter, which are related to color coordinates CIEx and CIEy in a chromaticity diagram. The method also includes determining first and second parameter X0 and Y0 for a target color. The method further includes, for all possible combinations of M LEDs out of the plurality of LEDs, determining a first group parameter and a second group parameter based on the first and second parameters for all of the M LEDs, and selecting a group of M LEDs whose first group parameter and second group parameter are closest to X0 and Y0 as a candidate for forming a light emitter of M LEDs.
