C.I.E. Photopic Luminous Efficiency Function: -------------------------------------------- The 1931 Y function is a linear combination of red, green, and blue cone responses, with negligible weight to blue and heavier weight to green and red. The X function is a linear combination of all three, with more red than blue, and the green's coefficient being negative. The Z function is close to just the blue cone response. Chromaticity coordinates (lower case x, y, and z) for a given wavelength are X, Y, and Z divided by the sum of all three. For non-monochromatic light, add up the X, Y, and Z for each wavelength, then divide these three totals by the sum of all three. In 1988 CIE updated the Photopic Luminous Efficiency Function because the 1931 function did not sufficiently weight the higher blue response of young people. ******** 1988 C.I.E.
