Abstract: A luminaire includes a display oriented for image output in a first direction and one or more lighting device components oriented for emission of illumination light, for use in a different second direction. The light source may output the illumination light in a second direction or illumination light from the source may be directed into the second direction (e.g. be a lens, reflector, etc.). The second direction of light output is different from the first direction. In one example, the configurable luminaire is a suspended light fixture with a display facing downward and a separate light emitter for indirect illumination emitted/directed upward. The elements that generate the illumination light may be separate from the display components or may support an additional functions, such as backlight generation, for operation of the display.

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 various implementations of a software configurable lighting device. Such a device, in the examples, includes a light source and an optical modulator and may include a programmable controller. The device is configurable by software, e.g. configuration information and/or programming for processing of that information to emulate a lighting distribution of a selected one of a variety of different lighting devices.

Abstract: The examples relate to various implementations of a software configurable lighting device, installed as a panel, that offers the capability to appear like and emulate a variety of different lighting devices. Emulation includes the appearance of the lighting device as installed in the wall or ceiling, possibly, both when lighting and when not lighting, as well as light output distribution, e.g. direction and/or beam shape.

Abstract: The examples relate to various implementations of a single software configurable lighting device, installed as a panel, that offers the capability to appear like and emulate a variety of different lighting devices. Emulation includes the appearance of the lighting device as installed in the wall or ceiling, possibly both when lighting and when not lighting, as well as light output distribution, e.g. direction and/or beam shape. Specific examples in this case combine a display device with a spatial light modulator or use angled light sources in each pixel, possibly with a settable beam shaper associated with one or more of the emission pixels.
