A frontlighting illumination system for selectively illuminating a nonemissive electronic display includes display elements in communication with at least one light source. The electronic display includes a nonemissive electro-optic medium; and a light transmissive element. Light transmitted through the light transmissive element illuminates the display medium. The propagation of light that is directed through the light transmissive element towards the microencapsulated electrophoretic display medium is substantially undeflected at the interface between the surface of the light transmissive element and the microencapsulated electrophoretic display medium. A reflector is included for directing light from the light source through the light transmissive element.

A surgical headlight assembly having a headset structure constructed of lightweight components. The headset structure has adjustable head strap members comprising a generally circular lateral band and a top band. A removable liner is attached to the inside surface of the adjustable headset structure. A lighting assembly which is adjustable with respect to the headset and which uses an adjustable LED is also provided connected to the lateral band. A battery pack is utilized to power the LED.

Spatio-temporal light field cameras that can be used to capture the light field within its spatio temporally extended angular extent. Such cameras can be used to record 3D images, 2D images that can be computationally focused, or wide angle panoramic 2D images with relatively high spatial and directional resolutions. The light field cameras can be also be used as 2D / 3D switchable cameras with extended angular extent. The spatio-temporal aspects of the novel light field cameras allow them to capture and digitally record the intensity and color from multiple directional views within a wide angle. The inherent volumetric compactness of the light field cameras make it possible to embed in small mobile devices to capture either 3D images or computationally focusable 2D images. The inherent versatility of these light field cameras makes them suitable for multiple perspective light field capture for 3D movies and video recording applications.

A back for an office chair comprises a peripheral frame shaped generally to outline the back of an occupant in the chair; a lumbar base structure attached to the frame; and a lumbar back support for an occupant of the chair connected to the lumbar base structure and extending toward the lumbar area of an occupant through an adjustable connection. The adjustable connection helps to provide comfort to the occupant and comprises one or more of a detent to allow adjustment of the height of the back support in relation to the frame, a movable joint to allow rotary motion of the lumbar back support in relation to movement of the back of the occupant, and an extensible connection to allow adjustment of the distance between the lumbar base structure and the lumbar back support. The chair back may also comprise at least one movable and flexible LED light supported by the back for reading comfort and may contain electrical circuitry to supply power to the LED light. The light may be removable with an electrical plug-in connection.

An LED chip (2) is composed of a p-GaN layer (10), an n-GaN layer (14), and an MQW emission layer (12) that is sandwiched between the GaN layers (10 and 14). Each layer is made of a GaN semiconductor. Light exits the LED chip (2) through the n-GaN layer (14). A p-electrode (16) of the LED chip (2) has a surface profile (24B) defined by a plurality of columnar projections (24A) formed in a uniformly distributed relation on the surface facing toward the p-GaN layer (10). The p-electrode (16) is in contact with the p-GaN layer (10) at the top surface of each projection (24A).

A flexible lighting device, comprising an elongated flexible tube including a translucent tubular shell with opposed tube ends, a flexible helical circuit board positioned in said tube extending between said opposed tube ends, said flexible helical circuit board having an exterior surface spaced from said tubular shell. Electrical circuitry is mounted to the circuit board and is connected to an external input source and an output source of electrical power. A plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is mounted to the exterior surface of the helical circuit board and is electrically connected to the electrical circuitry. The LEDs are positioned adjacent to the tubular wall. The invention includes a method of making the flexible lighting device including providing a parallelogram-shaped flat circuit board having long edges and short edges with acute angles and obtuse angles and further including a stiffening member embedded with said flat circuit board. Electrical circuitry mounted to the flat circuit board and LEDs mounted to the flat circuit board and to the electrical circuitry thereon, are all rolled and extended into a flexible cylindrical circuit board having spaced spirals and gaps that hold the LEDs, and then inserted into the flexible tubular housing. Power input and power output connectors are added to the electrical circuitry of the flexible helical circuit board, and connector end caps are secured to the opposed ends of the tubular housing.

A display device is provided which is capable of controlling luminance of a pixel by a bias voltage of a light emitting device making up the pixel to change a current that flows through the light emitting device.EL (ElectroLuminescent) devices, TFTs, data lines, scanning lines, and variable bias lines are disposed in a matrix form. A bias voltage control circuit, in response to judging information fed from a judging circuit, outputs control information to a variable voltage generating circuit. The variable voltage generating circuit, in response to the control information, controls currents that are passed through the variable bias line to the EL device so that the EL device emits light at a value of the luminance corresponding to the fed current.
