Abstract
A display includes at least one substantially transparent structural layer, a display layer configured to present visual content, and a first dimmable layer positioned relative to a first surface of the display layer. The display may include at least one sensor configured to monitor a parameter corresponding to a characteristic of an environment in which the display is provided. The display may include a display control configured to control an input voltage to the dimmable layer to operate the dimmable layer to provide a degree of contrast based on values of the parameter provided by the at least one sensor.
Claims20
A display comprising:
- at least one substantially transparent structural layer;
- a display layer configured to present visual content;
- a first dimmable layer positioned relative to a first surface of the display layer;
- at least one sensor configured to monitor a parameter corresponding to a characteristic of an environment in which the display is provided, wherein the at least one sensor includes a plurality of sensors and wherein the plurality of sensors includes sensors configured to detect luminance and at least one of motion, fluorescent light, speed, and temperature;
- and
- a display control configured to control an input voltage to the first dimmable layer to operate the first dimmable layer to provide a degree of contrast based on values of the parameter provided by the at least one sensor.
A display system comprising:
- a first display;
- a second display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer readable media comprising instructions;
- wherein each of the first display and the second display includes:
- at least one substantially transparent structural layer,
- a display layer configured to present visual content,
- a first dimmable layer positioned relative to a first surface of the display layer, and
- at least one sensor configured to monitor a parameter corresponding to a characteristic of an environment in which a respective one of the first and second displays is provided, wherein the at least one sensor includes a plurality of sensors and wherein the plurality of sensors includes sensors configured to detect luminance and at least one of motion, fluorescent light, speed, and temperature;
- and
- wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including operating the dimmable layers to provide respective degrees of contrast based on values of the parameter provided by respective at least one sensors.
