    Abstract: A head up display (HUD) has multiple light sources of varying intensities for projecting a high quality image under various lighting conditions. The light sources provide illumination through an electronic display (e.g. an AMLCD) in the HUD. A high brightness light source illuminates the electronic display during bright or day light conditions. A low brightness light source illuminates the electronic display during night or low light conditions. Both light sources illuminate the electronic display during intermediate lighting conditions. A light panel conducts and diffuses light from the light sources to illuminate the rear of the electronic display. An optional light mixer reduces uneven lighting of the high brightness light source. In operation, the intensities of the light sources are controlled as a function of ambient lighting conditions to optimize the projected image quality.

    Abstract: The system comprises a display device with a pattern of pixels (3) controlled by a control circuit (8) and a backlight system for illuminating the display device, which backlight system comprises a light-emitting panel and a light source (16, 16null, 16null, . . . ) associated with the light-emitting panel. The light source comprises a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of at least two different colors. The control circuit (8) also controls the luminous flux of the LEDs. Preferably, the intensity of the light emitted by the LEDs (16, 16null, 16null) varies with the light level of the image to be displayed by the display device. Preferably, the intensity of the light emitted by the backlight system can be controlled on a frame-to-frame basis and, preferably, also for each color. Preferably, the LEDs comprise a plurality of red, green, blue (and amber) LEDs, each, preferably, having a luminous flux of at least 5 lumen. The color point of an image to be displayed on the display screen of the display device is set by the backlight system, enabling an optimum contrast to be obtained for the image to be displayed by the display device.

    Abstract: A combination includes a liquid crystal module having a liquid crystal panel forming a front surface, an opposing back surface, and a backlight structured and arranged to transmit light between the front and back surfaces. A light sensor located behind the back surface detects light transmitted from the backlight through the back surface. The light sensor detects a quantity of light when the backlight is lit at a maximum luminance, and outputs a signal indicative of the quantity of light. A luminance setting means sets a desired luminance by a user as a function of a desired percentage of the maximum lumination of the backlight. A control means controls the luminance of the backlight using the signal as a reference so that the luminance set by the luminance setting means is achieved.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a light intensity modulator, in integrated optics and an integrated optical circuit comprising such a modulator.The modulator comprises a two-arm interferometer in which there is created by electro-optical effect, a phase shift controlled by a modulating voltage between the light waves propagated in the two arms. It is characterized by a feedback loop comprising a light separator placed on the output guide of the interferometer, and a photodiode collecting the fraction of output intensity from the separator and supplying an electric voltage which is superimposed in the interferometer on the modulating voltage. Thus linearization of the output intensity-modulating voltage response curve is obtained.

    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure concern controllers and control methods for applying a drive voltage to bus bars of optically switchable devices such as electrochromic devices. Such devices are often provided on windows such as architectural glass. In certain embodiments, the applied drive voltage is controlled in a manner that efficiently drives an optical transition over the entire surface of the electrochromic device. The drive voltage is controlled to account for differences in effective voltage experienced in regions between the bus bars and regions proximate the bus bars. Regions near the bus bars experience the highest effective voltage. In some cases, feedback may be used to monitor an optical transition. In these or other cases, a group of optically switchable devices may transition together over a particular duration to achieve approximately uniform tint states over time during the transition.
