The non-visual effects of blue light in displays mean that excessive use of smartphones can disturb the human circadian rhythm. Thus, the impact of virtual reality (VR) headsets, which are worn closer to the human eye, may be even more serious. In this paper, based on non-visual parameters, such as the circadian action factor (CAF) and circadian illuminance, the circadian performance of smartphone-based VR displays is quantitatively evaluated by an evaluation system we designed. Moreover, we investigate the improvements in the circadian performance of VR headsets resulting from three practical methods for reducing the blue light content. Finally, a theoretical method of shifting the green-light wavelength of the screen close to 555 nm to optimize the CAF of VR headsets is proposed. Overall, the results of this paper are of significant value in quantifying the effects of VR displays on circadian rhythms and improving the safety of VR headsets with regard to human health.

We have experimentally analyzed multi-azimuth degradation mechanisms that govern failures of commercially-available high-power (1 Watt) phosphor-coated white (hppc-W) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) covered with peanut-shaped lenses under three current-stress aging (CSA) conditions. Comprehensive analyses focus on photometric, chromatic, electrical, thermal and packaging characteristics. At the packaging level, (a) the decrease of the phosphor-conversion efficiency; (b) the yellow-browning of the optical lens; and (c) the darkening of the silver-coated reflective layer deposited with extraneous chemical elements (e. g., C, O, Si, Mg, and Cu, respectively) contribute collectively to the integral degradation of the optical power. By contrast, Ohmic contacts, thermal properties, and angles of maximum intensity remain unchanged after 3840 h aging in three cases. Particularly at the chip level, the formation of point defects increases the number of non-radiative recombination centers, and thus decreases the optical power during aging stages. Nevertheless, in view of the change of the ideality factor, the Mg dopant activation and the annealing effect facilitate the increase of the optical power in two specific aging stages (192 h similar to 384 h and 768 h similar to 1536 h). This work offers a systematic guidance for the development of reliable LED-based light sources in general-lighting areas.

A majority of luminance measurement systems are currently focused on measuring the total luminance of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It has largely limit its application on micro-LEDs, which require capturing the microscopic surface luminance. In order to study the microscopic characteristics of micro-LED displays, in this paper we propose a practical method that can accurately measure the luminance of a whole micro-LED array and even the surface luminance distribution of any single micro-led chip on the array. The essentials of this method are a high-precision complementary metal oxide semiconductor camera and a self-made data processing algorithm. Results show that the maximum error of the luminance measurement is less than 8%, which can prove the accuracy of the method. The metrical wavelength range and the accuracy of system can be dynamically set according to the camera and microscope. Endowed with ultrahigh dynamic ranges, this system proves its competency for evaluating the spatially resolved distribution of luminance for high brightness micro-LEDs.
