  • Patent number: 11524783
    Abstract: A lighting assembly for an aircraft includes a visible light source generating visible light and an ultraviolet light source generating ultraviolet light. The visible light source is disposed adjacent to the ultraviolet light source. The visible light source illuminates a first illumination area with the visible light when the lighting assembly operates in a first operation mode. The ultraviolet light source illuminates a second illumination area with the ultraviolet light when the lighting assembly operates in a second mode of operation. The first illumination area substantially overlaps the second illumination area.

  • Publication number: 20190377219
    Abstract: A steerable viewing system and an associated method of operation are disclosed. The system comprises a steerable filter for placing in front of a display area of a display device and a controller for causing the steerable filter to define one or more viewing passages extending through the steerable filter and permitting viewing of the display area from a first position through the steerable filter and one or more viewing barriers preventing viewing of the display area from a second position different from the first position through the steerable filter. The viewing passages are defined by LCD elements of the steerable filter in the transmissive state. The viewing barriers are defined by LCD elements of the steerable filter in the light-blocking state.
