The present invention relates inter alia to novel organic metal complexes comprising, e.g., platinum and specific side groups, their preparation and their use in electronic devices.

A solid state lighting system performing color changes based on time of day. The light source may be an OLED panel, a quantum dot, pin point source. The light may be programed based on circadian rhythms, and may have separate controllers for each light source. T light may be a threaded lamp, or be installed into a fluorescent lamp fixture.

A light emitting device which inactivates microorganisms is disclosed. The light emitting device may include a flexible light emitting layer emitting a light; and a transparent or translucent layer over the flexible light emitting layer. The light may travel through and exit an exterior surface of the transparent or translucent layer, creating an exiting light. The exiting light exiting the transparent or translucent layer may have at least a portion thereof having a wavelength in a range of 380 to 420 nanometers, and may disinfect the exterior surface of the transparent or translucent layer. The light emitting device may be used alone to create a self-disinfecting high touch surface, e.g., on a door, or may be shaped to mate with other structure to create a disinfecting high touch surface.

A light emitting element display device can be used for light therapy. The device includes: a display panel including a plurality of light emitting elements; a retarder plate configured to convert light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements into circularly polarized light; and a selective polarizer configured to selectively convert light supplied from the retarder plate into linearly polarized light or allow penetration of the light.

A solid state lighting system includes a number of light sources with multiple light colors that can be used to replace fluorescent lamps.

An optical stimulation lead includes a lead body including a distal end, a distal portion, and a proximal portion; and an optical assembly attached to the distal end of the lead body. The optical assembly includes a light emitter; a feedthrough assembly including at least one ceramic block, at least one feedthrough pin extending through the at least one ceramic block and electrically coupled to the light emitter, and a metal housing attached to the at least one ceramic block; a metal tube attached to the feedthrough assembly and disposed around the light emitter; and an emitter cover disposed over the light emitter and coupled to the metal tube.

One embodiment is directed to a method for altering the function of the sensory unit that innervates a targeted tissue region in a mammal comprising the steps of identifying the targeted tissue region; cutaneously administering into the targeted tissue region an adeno-associated virus wherein the viral genome encodes at least one exogenous protein; expressing the exogenous protein in the targeted sensory unit; and altering the function of the targeted sensory unit to treat or restore the sensory response because of the exogenous protein expression while not impacting the function of nearby sensory units.

An irradiation device capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation at variable beam angles, comprises a housing assembly including a longitudinal shell, the longitudinal shell having a first end and a second end, a first end cap assembly provided at the first end of the longitudinal shell, and a second end cap assembly provided at the second end of the longitudinal shell, a radiation source provided within the longitudinal shell, a movable lens having two ends, a first end of the movable lens provided within the first end cap assembly and a second end of the movable lens provided within the second end cap assembly, and one or more translational mechanisms provided within one or more of the first end cap assembly and the second end cap assembly, wherein the one or more translational mechanisms are adapted to cause linear motion of the movable lens with respect to the radiation source.

An optical stimulation lead including a lead body including a distal portion and a proximal portion; an optical fiber disposed within the lead body to emit light from a distal portion of the optical fiber; and at least one flex zone disposed along the distal portion of the lead body. Each flex zone includes an elastomeric structure that is made of a flexible material different from the lead body. Optical stimulation leads can alternatively or additionally include filters or stabilizers. In addition, optical stimulation leads can utilize light sources, such as laser diodes, LEDs, or OLEDs, instead of optical fibers.

A disposable and flexible electronic device for photobiomodulation of biological tissues, particularly applied as a bandage in several formats, in either domestic or clinical applications, biostimulating or biomodulating biological tissues, for healing wounds and treating inflammation, edema and pain.
