Description
The Hakai Labs / Danesi Designs Colour Vision Deficiency (CVD LED) is a high quality custom designed bi-polar Red/Green LED that’s been manufactured for the inclusivity of colour vision deficient (aka ‘colour blindness’) individuals without any sacrifice to those without a colour vision deficiency.
A small colour shift was made to the wavelength of the green side of the LED to push it closer to blue in the visible spectrum. This slight shift is enough to enable colour vision deficient individuals to fully distinguish between the red and the custom green/teal colours emitted by this LED.
Current Manufacturers Using CVD LEDs:
- Crey Emporium
- Hakai Labs
- HiveMindSynthesis
- Modular For The Masses
- SetonixSynth
Engineering Notes:
Due to the nature of how LED chips function, the teal/green chip in this LED will be brighter than the red due to its forward voltage and MCD output. Although they are not too far off, if using this in a new design, you can experiment with different resistor values to get the exact brightness you want for each chip within the LED. Below is an image of a quick example on how you would individually control the brightness of these LEDs.
You can also get away with removing D2 as the lower value resistor will complete the circuit when voltage passes through D1.
Please make sure to take a look at the datasheet below for more detailed information.
