Abstract: Sensors and lighting components are provided that are capable of matching an emitted color to a color observed at a remote location. The sensor measures a light characteristic at a first location, and provides data to a remote lighting component, such as via a wireless connection. The lighting component is configured to emit light based upon the light characteristic, and thus is able to match an observed lighting condition. The lighting component may match the color, intensity, temperature, pattern, texture, or other characteristic of light at a remote location.

Abstract: Techniques to fabricate and assemble a lighting system including multiple patterned OLED lighting panels to form a high-resolution macro image are provided. An image to be displayed is determined and divided into multiple portions. Patterned static OLED lighting panels that display each portion of the image are fabricated and assembled into a fixture to form a macro-image lighting system. The fixture may removably receive and hold individual panels, such that each panel may be replaced if any malfunction occurs. Each of the patterned OLED panels may be individually driven through an electrical connection within the fixture so as to be operated at substantially the same brightness and/or same chromaticity.
