Abstract
The examples relate to various implementations of a software configurable luminaire and a transparent display device for use in such a luminaire. The luminaire is able to generate light sufficient to provide general illumination of a space in which the luminaire is installed and provide an image display. The general illumination is provided by additional light sources and/or improved display components of the transparent display device.
Claims17
A luminaire, comprising:
- a lighting device that emits general illumination light;
- and
- a transparent display device optically coupled to the lighting device and configured to output a display image and allow the general illumination light to pass through the display device, the transparent display device comprising:
- an array of display pixels configured on a same substrate, wherein the array has horizontal and vertical dimensions on the substrate and each respective display pixel of the array includes:
- (a) a plurality of separately controllable, organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) configured one upon another to form an OLED stack on the substrate;
- and
- (b) a transparent area on the substrate adjacent to the OLED stack of the respective display pixel,
- wherein the transparent area of the respective display pixel is configured horizontally and vertically on the substrate in-between the OLED stack of the respective display pixel and the OLED stack of at least another adjacent display pixel in the array, and is formed from a transparent material.
