Title
Color Science
Speaker
Mark Butterworth, Optical Scientist, Philips Lumileds
Abstract
Color is a human response to the physical world and not usually taught in physics class. My goal is to make this fun and informative. I will start with the human visual system. How the eye and retina see the world and how the brain interprets this data. Learn how color science evolved from the 1800's to the present day and discover where CIE XYZ, xyz, Yxy, uv, 'u'v', Lab and CCT came from.
Biography
Mark Butterworth is currently Optical Scientist at Philips Lumileds working on phosphors and packaging used in high power LEDs.
