Publication number: 20230410696Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of display modules, assemblies of display modules, and systems of display modules. Display modules have a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a predetermined pattern and providing a highly uniform visual effect. Alignment and complementary alignment features enable the alignment of adjacent display modules and the creation of large displays from a plurality of aligned display modules. Features to grip and retain a support frame are provided. Modules and systems have features that permit installation and removal from the front side of the display. A system of modular support frames works cooperatively with the display modules, adapting to different mounting environments, and thereby providing large modular displays with desirable properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Robert James Cross, Rick Craig Cope, Jorge Perez-Bravo, Gary Feather, Drew Meincke

Patent number: 10761250Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of photo-luminescent display systems and photo-luminescent visual elements creating eye-catching displays of visual advertising or marketing messages that are very effective at generating interest, engagement, and loyalty in the viewing public. Photo-luminescent pigment containing visual elements are illuminated by one or more remotely located emitters at a first wavelength that is outside the human visual spectrum. In response, the visual elements then radiate at one or more wavelengths within the human visual spectrum. Additional features control unwanted reflections and unwanted transmission of radiation at the first wavelength. Additional features control the uniformity of radiation of one or more wavelengths within the human visual spectrum.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Nanolumens Acquistion, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Cross, Richard C. Cope, Jorge Perez-Bravo, Gary Feather, Theodore Heske, III

Patent number: 9782605Abstract: A system for influencing a state of a user including a light source for emitting light influencing the state of the user and a light controller selectively controlling the emission of the light. The emission may include at least one of, the spectrum of said light; the duration of said light; the distribution of said light; the intensity of said light; and the timing of said light. The analysis engine provides a signal to the light controller indicating a desired emission of the light.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc.Inventors: Gary A.
