Light-sensing systems and methods thereof are described. A light source illuminates target areas arrayed on a surface. Light guides receive light reflected from the target areas. The amount of light reflected from a target area corresponds at least in part to the composition of a substance associated with that target area. Detectors receive reflected light carried by the light guides.

A method and a system for displaying images are provided. In the method, a pixel is provided that includes a layer of ferroelectric material and a layer of liquid crystal material. A first electric field is momentarily applied to the pixel to electrically polarize the ferroelectric layer to a first polarization. The first polarization is then used to maintain the liquid crystal material in a first orientation corresponding to a first apparent brightness of the pixel.

A light source includes a substrate, a light emitting diode on the substrate, and a plate supporting member attached to the substrate and surrounding the light emitting diode to form a cavity. In addition, the light source includes a plate on the plate supporting member such that a distance between the plate and the substrate is approximately less than or equal to 1 mm. Furthermore, the light source includes a phosphor layer on the plate opposite the cavity.

Optical motion sensing systems and methods are described. In one aspect, light from subfields of a scene is focused onto respective capture areas of a focal plane. Successive sets of contemporaneous local images are captured from the focused light. Respective saliency measures are derived from respective ones of the local images. Respective local motion measures are determined from comparisons of corresponding ones of the local images in ones of the contemporaneous local image sets. A respective global motion measure is produced for each of the contemporaneous local image sets based on the respective ones of the local motion measures and the respective ones of the saliency measures.

A method for calibrating an illumination system is disclosed herein. The illumination system comprises at least one light emitter and at least one color sensor. The method comprises emitting a first wavelength of light from the a light emitter and measuring the color of light emitted by the light emitter using the color sensors. A second wavelength of light is emitted from the a light emitter and the color of light emitted by the light emitter is measured using the color sensors. The shift in color space based on the measurements is calculated. At least one calibration matrix based on the shift in colors space is calculated.

Still image apparatus and methods that are suitable for compact camera environments are described. In another aspect, image segments are captured during corresponding exposure intervals of a frame exposure period. Respective motion sensor signals are generated during the respective exposure intervals of the image segments. One or more corresponding movement measures are determined from the respective motion sensor signals for each of the exposure intervals. The image segments are combined into an output image based on the one or more corresponding movement measures.

A camera flash is disclosed for producing a warm light having a desired color temperature. In one embodiment, the flash has a xenon flash component producing a light with a spectrum having a color temperature at a higher Kelvin rating than the warm light, and a light emitting diode flash component producing a light with a spectrum having a color temperature at a lower Kelvin rating than the warm light. The color temperature of the light of the xenon flash component and the color temperature of the light of the light emitting diode flash component together produce the warm light having the desired color temperature.

An enhanced light output light emitting diode (LED) is constructed using a plurality of single domed LEDs with each dome acting as a lens. By packaging multiple LEDs, each with its own dome (lens), greater-light output can be achieved. In one embodiment, each individually domed LED is a single color and the mixed colors from the group of LEDs within a device yields white light output. In another embodiment, the phosphors within each dome are mixed to produce white light. Reflectors can be added to enhance light output.
摘要:
A wavelength selective switching device and method for selectively transmitting optical signals based on wavelength utilizes diffraction to spatially separate the optical signals of different wavelengths such that the optical signal of a selected wavelength can be selectively transmitted. The wavelength selective switching device selectively rotates the polarization components of the optical signals such that the polarization states of the polarization components are the same in both incoming and outgoing directions at the diffraction grating. Thus, a diffraction grating with a high grating line frequency (e.g. greater than 900 grating lines per mm for signals in the 1550 nm wavelength range) can be used for diffracting the polarization components of the optical signals in both the incoming and outgoing directions.
