Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with a brightness that is adjusted based on ambient light data from one or more ambient light sensors. An ambient light sensor may include at least one silicon-based photosensor. The silicon-based photosensor may generate a corresponding raw sensor reading. Processing circuitry associated with the ambient light sensor may analyze the raw sensor reading to determine the type of light source that is present by comparing measurements from at least two different photosensors, by determining the color temperature of the light source, and/or by determining the modulation frequency of the light source. A compensation factor may then be selected by referring to a lookup table. The processing circuitry may compute a compensated sensor reading based on the raw sensor reading and the selected compensation factor. The brightness of the display may be adjusted based on the compensated sensor reading computed in this way.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a display device that measures display characteristics (such as luminance or chromaticity) associated with a display panel. The display device of the present invention has a light sensor (5) provided at a position allowing outgoing light from a screen (1a) of a liquid crystal panel (1), which serves as the display panel, and extraneous light reflected on the screen (1a) to enter the light sensor (5). Since the light sensor (5) is provided at the position, it is possible to measure the characteristics of the display panel and also the characteristics of the extraneous ambient light reflected on the screen. Thus, it is possible to accurately adjust the display characteristics based on the measurement results.

Abstract: A tunable acoustic gradient index of refraction (TAG) lens and system are provided that permit, in one aspect, dynamic selection of the lens output, including dynamic focusing and imaging. The system may include a TAG lens and at least one of a source and a detector of electromagnetic radiation. A controller may be provided in electrical communication with the lens and at least one of the source and detector and may be configured to provide a driving signal to control the index of refraction and to provide a synchronizing signal to time at least one of the source and the detector relative to the driving signal. Thus, the controller is able to specify that the source irradiates the lens (or detector detects the lens output) when a desired refractive index distribution is present within the lens, e.g. when a desired lens output is present.
