Outline of Final Research Achievements

We performed the 28 different experiments with the combination of seven LEDs (450, 470, 525, 590, 605, 630 and 660 nm) and examined their effects on the color discrimination for six protans and eight deutans, as well as 11 subjects with normal color vision in the Ishihara test and SPP-1 test.
In the Ishihara test, when the secondary LED at 525 nm (green light) was added, the error rates of protans and deutans increased remarkably regardless of the primary LED. Moreover, the error rates of protans were quite larger than those of deutans with the exception of the primary LED at 525, 470 or 450 nm. In the SPP-1 test, when the wavelength of primary LED was 660, 630, 605 or 590 nm and the wavelength of secondary LED was larger than 590 nm, the error rates of of protans and deutans were between 20 and 40%, as well as subjects with normal color vision.
