    Abstract: The examples relate to various implementations to enable simultaneous controllable lighting distribution and a wide angle image light output from areas of a luminaire. An example of such a luminaire includes image light emitters and an array of general illumination light emitters for general illumination. A grid structure that has a supporting grid of rows and columns with intersection points and transparent sections or gaps is used to maintain a spaced arrangement of the general illumination light emitters and the image light emitters. Each of the transparent sections is bounded by individual structural members of the grid meeting at individual intersection points. In a specific example, image light emitters are located at intersection points of the grid structure. The general illumination light emitters are optically coupled for emitting general illumination light through the transparent sections of the grid.

    Abstract: For a luminaire offering both illumination and display functionality, control strategies coordinate illumination/image output so as to mitigate interference of the illumination light output with aspects of the displayed image light output. In one example, when displaying a selected image with one or more white regions in the image, a sufficient number of selected white illumination emitters can be ON or operating in a low power state in the white regions while the rest of the luminaire output area can display the non-white elements of the image with aligned illumination emitters turned OFF. In another example, an image is displayed in a selected region of the luminaire output while illumination emitters within the area displaying the image are OFF or operating in a low power state, but illumination emitters along other parts of the luminaire output are turned ON.

    Abstract: The examples relate to implementations of an apparatus and a luminaire that use isolated display and lighting portions and optical passages for backlit general illumination through the display. The apparatus includes a general illumination light source, an optical coupling, and an optical array. A luminaire includes the apparatus and a display light board. The display light board may include display light emitters and transparent regions. The transparent regions enable general illumination light to pass through the display light board. The general illumination light source outputs general illumination light that is directed by the optical coupling toward the optical array. The optical array has optical passages and optical array supports. The optical array supports frame the display light emitters and the optical passages channel the directed general illumination light from the optical coupling around display light emitters framed near the optical array supports. Near-field shadow regions are formed under the display light emitters.
