Abstract: The monitoring of UV radiation has received increased attention recently due to the hazards of accelerated skin ageing and even cancer following excessive exposure. Personalized monitoring gives a more accurate reading than crude weather forecasts of the ‘UV index’. This invention answers both these needs in a personal UV monitor that is incorporated into an existing display. Minimal processing changes are made to an existing display in order to achieve this added functionality, which is therefore achieved at little additional cost.
