  • Patent number: 11592701
    Abstract: A display system and method are disclosed that includes an electronic display device and a backlight comprising a light-emitting array, a reflector adjacent to the light-emitting array, a diffuser opposite the reflector, a first brightness enhancing layer adjacent the diffuser, and an optical film in the backlight unit that includes at least one light conversion material or at least one light conversion material. The light conversion material is structured and configured to reduce hazardous blue light emissions between about 400 nm to about 500 nm. The disclosed display device can include a liquid crystal panel configured to control transmission of light from the backlight to a viewer. The display device also includes one or more optical films that incorporate one or more light conversion or light absorbing materials. The optical films can be positioned between the layers of the disclosed display device and give enhanced blue-light absorption to the display device.

  • Patent number: 10901125
    Abstract: Double-notch filters for electronic devices are provided that filter light from both the blue spectrum as well as the red spectrum in narrow wavelength bands, or “notches.” A double-notch filter can, using input light from a conventional LED-backlit LCD display, output light that can be measured as substantially satisfying criteria for a D65 white point. In some examples, a double-notch filter can output light that can be measured as nearly satisfying criteria for a D65 white point, to within +/? 500 Kelvin. In some examples, a double-notch filter can output light that can be measured as nearly satisfying criteria for a D65 white point, to within +/? 1000 Kelvin.
