Abstract: A display device is provided that includes a display panel and a backlight panel. The backlight panel includes a plurality of self-calibrating illumination modules configured to provide backlighting for the display panel. Each self-calibrating illumination module includes at least one light source configured to emit light toward the display panel, at least one light sensor configured to detect light emitted from the at least one light source that is internally reflected within the display device, and a controller configured to control a current supplied to the at least one light source based at least on an intensity of light detected by the at least one light sensor.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of cell growth and tissue engineering, in particular, tissue engineered compositions comprising a nanotextured substrate which is structurally configured for growth of cells in an anatomically correct adult phenotype in vitro. In particular, described herein are nanotextured substrates which are structurally configured for the anisotropic organization, maturation, and growth of in vitro-differentiated muscle cells, such as cardiomyocytes, and methods for the production and use thereof in varying sizes, nanotextures and substrate rigidities. In vitro-differentiated cardiomyocytes grown on the nanotextured substrates described herein are better-differentiated and more closely mimic adult cardiac tissue than the same cells grown on a non-textured substrate of the same composition.
