To more appropriately adjust the brightness inside a vehicle. Provided is a system including: a first vehicle configured to output, to a server, information regarding illuminance of light incident on a vehicle by associating with information regarding a traveling environment; a second vehicle configured to output information regarding a traveling environment to the server; and the server including a controller configured to generate, based on the information regarding the illuminance of the light incident on the first vehicle, information regarding a sudden-change point that is a point at which a change amount of the illuminance of the light incident on the first vehicle exceeds a prescribed value, and configured to output, based on the information regarding the traveling environment of the second vehicle acquired from the second vehicle, information regarding the sudden-change point to the second vehicle.

The downlight apparatus includes a surface rim, a rotation bracket, a bowl housing and a light source. The surface rim has an rim edge and a lateral wall. The rotation bracket includes a bracket body and two arms. Each arm has an arm bottom and a arm top. The rotation bracket is attached to the lateral wall. The bowl housing has a bowl edge. The bowl edge defines a light opening. The arm tops of the two arms are attached to the bowl edge. The bowl housing is rotatable with a tilt angle with respect to the arm tops. The light source is mounted inside the bowl housing for emitting a light from the light opening.

A hybrid reflective-emissive display including an electrophoretic medium. The electrophoretic medium includes two types of oppositely-charged, and differently-colored, particles in a fluid. The electrophoretic medium is disposed between a front light-transmissive electrode and a rear electrode including a plurality of apertures, such as a hexagonal grid. The electrophoretic layer is optionally illuminated by a light source disposed on the opposite side of the rear electrode from the electrophoretic medium. A viewer can see either the first or second type of particle at the viewing surface, or one of the particles can be illuminated by the light source, thus emitting light the color of one of the particles.

A non-pyrotechnic aerial display apparatus may include a head portion and a wing portion. The head portion may include a front portion, a rear portion, and a plurality of channels extending from the front portion toward the rear portion. The wing portion may extend rearward from the head portion. The wing portion may include a top surface, a bottom surface, a leading edge, a trailing edge, a rear edge extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge, and an airfoil extending along the leading edge. The wing portion may include a counterweight. The apparatus may include one or more forward-facing lights. The apparatus may include one or more rearward-facing lights. Other examples may be described and claimed.

A display device (30) comprises a reflective display (38) arranged to render a first image viewable through a viewing surface and a projection means (31-37) arranged to render a second image viewable in reflection on the viewing surface, the reflective display (38) and the projection means (31-37) being mounted on a common frame.

A lighting device comprises a light-emitting module with light-emitting elements, wherein the light-emitting elements are arranged adjacent to each other and are configured to emit light towards a light-emitting side. The light-emitting module is configured such that the light-emitting elements can be addressed partially independently of each other, such that some may be brought into a switched-on state while others are brought into a switched-off state. A top layer is disposed on the light-emitting module at the light-emitting side. Further comprising a switching material capable of a reversible change in transmittance for the light emitted by changing to a higher transmittance in regions where the top layer situated on light-emitting elements in the switched-on state or to a lower transmittance in regions of the top layer situated in the switched-off state. The invention further refers to methods for producing and operating a lighting device and using a lighting device.

A luminaire includes a lightguide panel that is configured to receive light from a light source through an edge thereof and emit light through major surfaces thereof. Further, the luminaire includes an electrochromic film that is disposed on one of the major surfaces of the lightguide panel to adjust an amount of light exiting through the one major surface by controlling an opacity of the electrochromic film. The opacity of the electrochromic film is controlled by controlling an electrical power supplied thereto. In another example, the electrochromic film is disposed on a major surface of a lens that is disposed below and spaced apart from a light source that emits light in a first direction. The opacity of the electrochromic film is controlled by controlling the electrical power supplied thereto to adjust an amount of light that is reflected by the lens to a second direction.

A system for association-based scattering processing includes a spatial light modulator configured to modulate one or more of phase and amplitude of light irradiated from a light source to a target object. Additionally, the system includes processing circuitry configured to evaluate a field distribution for one localized illumination, induce a set of field distributions for a plurality of localized illuminations based on the field distribution for the one localized illumination, and apply the set of field distributions to the spatial light modulator, scanning a plurality of localized illuminations on the target object.

An optical system including a lighting component and a switchable diffuser in optical communication with the lighting component. The optical system may further include a low absorbing optical component. At least one outer surface of the switchable diffuser and/or the low absorbing optical component includes light redirecting structures. When the switchable diffuser is in a first state and the optical system produces a light output, the light redirecting structures are configured to increase the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the light output of the optical system in at least one direction by at least 5 degrees relative to that of an otherwise equivalent optical system that does not include the light redirecting structures.
