Abstract: Examples relate to a method and implementations of general illumination light emitters, an image display device and an image diffuser in a luminaire. The image display device is configured to output an image having a reduced, or first, pixel image fill factor and, as a result, might appear pixelated. To mitigate the pixelation, the image diffuser has a predetermined image diffusion angle and is a predetermined distance from the image display device. The image diffuser outputs an image having a second image pixel fill factor that is greater than the first image pixel fill factor. The appearance of the outputted image appears to be formed from fuzzy pixels. Characteristics related to the image, device, diffuser, and their arrangement may be optimized to provide the fuzzy pixels. A luminaire may output an image formed of the fuzzy pixels and general illumination lighting to an area.

Abstract: The examples relate to various representations of data utilized for control of a software configurable lighting device. The software configurable lighting device includes an image display device and a general illumination device. Each data representation includes a pre-defined data structure such that lighting control information and image data may be interlaced within the respective representation.

Abstract: The examples relate to various implementations of a software configurable lighting device, having an enhance display device that is able to generate light sufficient to provide general illumination of a space in which the lighting device is installed and provide an image display. The general illumination is provided by additional light sources and/or improved display components of the enhanced display device.

Abstract: The examples relate to a method and apparatus to measuring ambient light information that is used in the manipulation or augmentation of an image presented on a display. The apparatus measures ambient light characteristic information from at least one direction in an environment in which the apparatus is located. The measured ambient light characteristic enable substantially real time generation and application of an image effect to an image presented on a display device.

Abstract: The examples relate to various implementations of a software configurable lighting device having a multi-processor system including a central processing unit and a parallel processing unit. The software configurable lighting device utilizes the multi-processor system to efficiently transform and/or modify control data. The software configurable lighting device also includes a transparent image display device and a general illumination device. Transformed and/or modified control data is utilized to drive the transparent image display device and the general illumination device in combination.
