Patent number: 10192477Abstract: A signal processing device and method for driving one or more light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) of a video screen, display panel, module or other component. The signal processing device and method can control one or more RGB LEDs and/or white LEDs to produce light with increased uniformity and brightness at a reduced cost and having reduced power consumption. The signal processing device and method can generate a matrix brightness value based on one or more input LED driving signals; generate a complementary brightness value based on the one or more input LED driving signals; generate an LED driving signal based on the matrix brightness value and complementary brightness value; and delaying the one or more input LED driving signals generate one or more delayed LED driving signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2015Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignees: Lighthouse Technologies Limited, Lighthouse Technologies (Huizhou) LimitedInventors: Kui Lai Curie Chan, Shinsaku Kikkawa

Patent number: 9526141Abstract: A system and method for the automatic color/brightness adjustment of a video display screen, panel, module or other display component comprising light emitting diodes (“LEDs”). The system and method incorporate a reference LED and a light sensor on each module and use decay information sensed from each reference LED to determine the amount of decay experienced by the display LEDs in the modules. Each module will be adjusted to have one uniform color/brightness level based on the decay information sensed from each reference LED.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2012Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Lighthouse Technologies LimitedInventors: Shinsaku Kikkawa, Kui Lai Curie Chan

Publication number: 20160131328Abstract: An SMD LED that is designed for indoor use is equipped for outdoor use by encapsulation in a vacuum-forming and/or cover molding covering, which is placed over the indoor SMD LED and is formed thereon by evacuation. The thus-equipped indoor SMD LED is thereby usable in the same manner as a more expensive and ruggedly designed outdoor SMD LED.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2015Publication date: May 12, 2016Applicants: Lighthouse Technologies Limited, Lighthouse Technologies (Huizhou) LimitedInventor: KUI LAI CURIE CHAN

Patent number: 9240135Abstract: A system and method for color matching/chromaticity adjustment for a video screen, display panel, module or other component that comprises different batches of light emitting diodes (“LEDs”). The system and method do not alter the panel/module's RGB gain when adjusting saturation, luminance and hue. This way, the panels and modules can achieve a desired/targeted white balance. As such, different batches of LEDs can be set to the same RGB ratios to achieve proper color matching. Thus, the system and method can mix different batches of LEDs in the same video screen or wall, yet achieve uniformity across the screen/wall.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: Lighthouse Technologies, Ltd.Inventor: Kui Lai Curie Chan
