  • Patent number: 10249847
    Abstract: An organic light-emitting diode provides a substrate having a top side and one or a plurality of substrate side surfaces running transversely to the top side and connected thereto via a substrate edge; and an organic layer sequence applied to the top side with an emitter layer, which generates electromagnetic radiation coupled out from the diode via a luminous surface during intended operation of the diode. In a plan view of the luminous surface, the sequence adjoins at least a partial region of substrate edge(s), and in the region the luminous surface extends at least as far as the corresponding edge. An encapsulation formed in an uninterrupted and continuous fashion is applied to the sequence. The encapsulation, at least in the region of the edge adjoining the sequence, is led onto the associated substrate side surface, at least partly covers the latter and is in direct contact with the surface.

  • Patent number: 10251241
    Abstract: Techniques and architecture are disclosed for gesture-based control techniques for lighting systems. In some cases, the lighting system may include a camera and/or other suitable componentry to interpret gestures made by a user for controlling light output. In some such cases, the gesture performed and/or the location of the gesture may determine how the light output is controlled. In some cases, the gestures may be performed by moving a mobile computing device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or dedicated light controller device. In some such cases, sensors included in or otherwise operatively coupled to the computing device (gravitational sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopic sensors, etc.) may be used to detect the movement of the device and the related gestures. The gestures may be used to navigate a user interface that allows a user to control light output by adjusting different attributes of the light output, such as light intensity and color.
