Color error corrected segmented LED array

1. A method of color error correction for a segmented LED array, the method comprising:

(a) calculating a target luminance for LED segments in a segmented LED array based on an initial luminance pattern;

(b) determining a luminance ratio based on the target luminance, the luminance ratio defined as a ratio of a primary luminance value of the primary LED segment to a secondary luminance value of the at least one adjacent LED segment;

(c) comparing the luminance ratio to a predefined threshold ratio, and

(i) if the luminance ratio is greater than or equal to the predefined ratio, then the secondary luminance value of the at least one adjacent LED segment is maintained, or

(ii) if the luminance ratio is less than the predefined ratio, then the secondary luminance value of the at least one adjacent LED segment is increased.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secondary luminance value of the at least one adjacent LED segment is increased in step (c)(i) until the luminance ratio equals the predefined threshold ratio.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predefined threshold ratio is at least 3% and less than 5%.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predefined threshold ratio is 4%.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the segmented LED array includes a phosphor layer and a sapphire layer.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the segmented LED array is a 2×1 LED array.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the segmented LED array is a 3×3 LED array.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one adjacent LED segment includes at least one directly adjacent LED segment and at least one diagonally adjacent LED segment, and the secondary luminance value of the at least one diagonally adjacent LED segment is 40-60% of the secondary luminance value of the at least one directly adjacent LED segment.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein an adaptive flash process is performed during step (a).
