Study on the equivalent luminance of luminous fibers in photopic vision and scotopic vision

Abstract

Colored luminous fibers were prepared by a melt spinning process, adding colored pigments and long afterglow rare earth material into polyamide fiber. The colored luminous fibers had a variety of colors in photopic vision, and emitted colored light in mesopic vision and scotopic vision. Based on the experimental data of the emission spectra and the test luminance of the luminous fibers, the effect of the emissive colors of the luminous fibers on the equivalent luminance at different vision states was analyzed. The results showed that the effect of the emissive colors of white, red, yellow, and green luminous fibers on the equivalent luminance was not obvious in photopic and scotopic vision, but that of blue luminous fiber was obvious in photopic vision but not in scotopic vision.
