Patent number: 9655191Abstract: A lighting device comprising a first light source issuing a first beam and a second light source issuing a second beam. Said first and said second light source are dimmable and together issue light with a total light flux. At a mutually equal light flux of the first and the second beam, the glare level of the second beam is lower than the glare level of the first beam. The lighting device further comprises at least one (programmed) controller which, during operation, moderates said dim levels such that in at least a range of the illumination level a ratio of the dim level of the second beam to the dim level of the first beam increases in a gradual manner with increasing total light flux.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: PHILIPS LIGHTING HOLDING B.V.Inventors: Michel Cornelis Josephus Marie Vissenberg, Bianca Maria Irma Van Der Zande, Lucas Josef Maria Schlangen, Daniël Willem Elisabeth Schobben, Inge Van De Wouw, Leonie Maria Geerdinck, Remco Adrianus Gerardus Lansbergen, Willem Franke Pasveer

Patent number: 8493379Abstract: A method and device for generating and/or displaying 3D images include temporarily increasing the depth of content of an image or a part of an image to a high level and afterward the depth of content is decreased to a low level. This temporary increase of the depth of content renders a large 3D effect to the image or the part of the image to which it has been applied. The actual average depth of content can be made relatively low thus reducing fatigue, while the perceived depth of content is relatively high.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Gerardus Petrus Karman, Daniel Willem Elisabeth Schobben, Peter-Andre Redert
