LUMINESCENCE SHOCK AVOIDANCE IN DISPLAY DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464137 titled 'LUMINESCENCE SHOCK AVOIDANCE IN DISPLAY DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a luminescence shock avoidance algorithm that limits the brightness level of a display device when it is activated in a dark environment. This is done to prevent temporary vision impairment that can occur when a display device is activated in such conditions. The algorithm takes into account the state of the display (on or in standby mode), and can also consider the ambient lighting value from an ambient light sensor and a user-selectable manual brightness adjustment setting. It determines whether luminescence shock avoidance should be triggered and, if so, how much the brightness level of the display should be limited.

  • The algorithm selectively limits the brightness level of a display device in a dark environment.
  • It prevents temporary vision impairment caused by the activation of a display device in a dark environment.
  • The algorithm considers the state of the display, ambient lighting value, and user-adjustable brightness settings.
  • It determines whether luminescence shock avoidance should be triggered and to what extent the brightness level should be limited.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile devices: Preventing temporary vision impairment when using smartphones or tablets in dark environments.
  • Automotive displays: Limiting the brightness level of infotainment or navigation displays when driving at night.
  • Gaming consoles: Adjusting the brightness level of game displays to avoid vision impairment during nighttime gaming sessions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Temporary vision impairment: Preventing the discomfort and potential harm caused by sudden bright displays in dark environments.
  • User experience: Enhancing the usability of display devices by ensuring they are comfortable to use in various lighting conditions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user comfort: Users can use display devices without experiencing temporary vision impairment in dark environments.
  • Enhanced safety: Avoiding distractions or discomfort caused by sudden bright displays while driving or engaging in activities in dark environments.
  • Customizability: Users can adjust the brightness settings according to their preferences and lighting conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A luminescence shock avoidance algorithm selectively limits the brightness level of a display device when the display device is activated in a dark environment to prevent the temporary vision impairment that can occur when a display device is activated in a dark environment. The algorithm receives the state of the display (e.g. on or in standby mode), and can optionally receive an ambient lighting value from an ambient light sensor and a user-selectable manual brightness adjustment setting to determine whether luminescence shock avoidance should even be triggered, and if it is triggered, how much should the brightness level of the display be limited.
