  • Energy saving OLED lighting system and method
    Patent number: 9380675
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods related to adjusting the intensity of specific wavelengths in an illumination panel based on the presence of a person near the panel. By reducing some emitted wavelengths, such as wavelengths associated with blue light, when such wavelengths are not needed or desired, the lifetime and/or efficiency of the lighting panel can be increased. The systems, devices, and methods can be used to reduce energy costs and also to delay the aging of lighting panels.

  • Intelligent dimming lighting
    Patent number: 9374872
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques are provided for operating a display and/or an illumination source based upon the direction of a user's gaze and/or a desired illumination level in a monitored area. One or more elements may be controlled with sensor input and application lighting preferences. For example, when a user receives a video call, light may be activated to illuminate their face. When the user is looking at the display, the display will be at the brightness necessary for the lighting conditions. When the user looks away from the screen, the screen may dim further and the lighting elements for the desk can brighten. Similarly, embodiments may adjust the lighting in a monitored location based upon lighting levels identified in other areas.

  • Reduced Image Sticking OLED Display
    Publication number: 20160171931
    Abstract: Methods of operation and devices are provided in which the operation of a full-color display is modified based upon historical luminance data that indicates an intensity at which at least one sub-pixel of the device is driven over a period of time. An expected degradation level of one or more pixel elements in the device is calculated based upon the luminance data, and video signals received by the device are modified based upon the expected degradation level to reduce image sticking and/or other undesirable effects in the device.
