A dynamic shading system is disclosed. The system comprises a screen and a control system. The screen comprises a plurality of light valves. Each light valve has an adjustable translucency so that the screen can present an image on one side of the screen. The control system is configured to determine what image is to be presented on the one side of the screen in dependence of light intensity incident on another side of the screen. the control system is further configured to control each light valve of the screen to have a translucency so that the plurality of the light valves forms the determined image on the one side of the screen.

Self-contained devices, systems and methods for housing holiday lights in the form of icicles, and the like, in self-contained boxes that can easily be mounted and removed around house windows and eaves. The lights can be retractable and extendable downward from the boxes, and the lights can be remotely controlled by smart phones and the like. The boxes can have displays for holiday messages as well as speakers for playing music and messages. Another embodiment can include a drop down version where the lights drop down from a housing. Another version can include a fold out version where a support frame having upwardly protruding lights is rotated so that the lights extend below the housing.

A display system includes a plurality of light emitting units configured to float in a fluid medium such that each light emitting unit is movable, each light emitting unit including a light emitting element configured to selectively emit light, a communication element operable to receive instruction data to control operation of the light emitting element; and a power element configured to provide power to at least the light emitting element, and an image capture element configured to receive light emitted by at least one light emitting unit and to generate image data based on the light received and a controller configured to generate the instruction data based at least on a comparison of the image data to a desired image and transmit the instruction data to the communication element to control the light emitting element such that the display system provides the desired image.

A method of displaying a video display system, assembling a video display system, and a video display system are disclosed. The video display system can include a flexible support, a display device detachably engaged to the flexible support, and a coupling device engaged to the flexible support and the display device at a first location on the display device.

A multi-view architectural lighting (MVAL) system includes one or more multi-view lighting units (“MV lights”) in which the apparent brightness and color of each MV light is individually and simultaneously controllable for different viewing angles. The MV lights can be pointed in arbitrary directions and installed in arbitrary locations in 3D space with respect to one another, consistent with the structure of a building, etc. This enables a lighting designer to create differentiated lighting experiences for different viewers based on their viewing angle with respect to the MV lights. A calibration system maps viewing locations to emitted light directions for each MV light. Using this information, the appearance of each MV light from a given viewing location relative to that MV light is set by adjusting the light (e.g., typically color and intensity, etc.) emitted in the corresponding direction/directions.

A multipurpose advertisement board comprising: a window; a vertical film comprising multiple film strips connected in series; a first image expression device comprising an operating unit rotatably connected to a vertical winding roller in upper and lower portions of the frame that vertically move the vertical film to display the multiple film strips in order; a horizontal film comprising multiple film strips connected in series; a second image expression device installed on the window frame, wherein the second image expression device comprises an operation unit rotatably connected to a horizontal winding roller installed in left and right portions of the window frame to rotate or release the horizontal film, thereby horizontally moving the horizontal film so that the multiple film strips of the horizontal film overlap with the film strips of the vertical film to make a combined image.

A display device includes a transparent laminated body 6 formed of transparent substrates 1 that are arranged in layers; an image display body 2 that faces the transparent laminated body 6; and a resin layer 3 that is disposed between the transparent laminated body 6 and the image display body 2 and is made of a photo-curable resin. The transparent substrates 1 are bonded with a thermal adhesive film 5. The thermal adhesive film 5 has optical transmittance of 50% or more at wavelength of 395 nm and optical transmittance of 10% or less at wavelength of 365 nm.

A system for marking points on a surface at a distance has a marker apparatus with a plurality of point light sources mounted individually in apparatus movable by electrical drives to position light spots on a surface at a distance in a pattern, and an electronic power and control system coupled to the marker apparatus, providing signals for manipulating individual ones of the electrical drives of the point light sources to position the light spots in the pattern.

A system and method for implementing a one-stop advertising campaign through a non-digital advertising medium provides a single platform for an advertiser to implement an advertisement on a non-digital advertising medium. The advertiser, through a one-click functionality on the platform, selects the advertising medium, the advertising-related workers to implement the advertisement, the advertising costs, and the timeline for advertising on the advertising medium. One or more advertising-related workers upload skill sets and fees for the advertiser to review before selecting. The system generates recommendations of appropriate workers to implement the advertisement campaign based on needs of the advertiser. The system also integrates sensors and/or positioning systems into the advertising media to detect the numbers, physical features, relative position, and movement pattern of consumers in proximity to the advertising medium. This allows a processor and algorithms to generate consumer data useful to the advertiser for marketing and setting advertising costs.

The invention relates to methods and devices for creating a system for exhibiting visual information to observers located in a moving vehicle, which system presupposes that a viewer is moving relative to any stationary systems displaying information. The movement of the viewer relative to these systems brings about mechanical scanning of an image, and a picture becomes complete for the viewer. The proposed system does not comprise any mechanical moving elements, and is highly reliable and resistant to any external influences (moisture, etc.). Modules do not comprise any moving parts and do not require regular maintenance. Synchronization is contactless, and the information delivered can be changed efficiently and remotely. Light-emitting diodes or semiconductor lasers or other means of generating light can be used as light-emitting elements.
