Abstract
A light activated optically controlled display unit, by means of a photo-electric sensor, stops the operation when the background is dark or below a preset lightness and is activated when the background is bright or above the present lightness to execute video output of text/graph display, audio output, output of flaring model at a given cycle, or stop of output operation at preset time for power saving.
Claims5
A light activated optically controlled display unit, essentially comprised of:
- a source 100:
- related to a primary, or a secondary battery or any other device that converts optical energy into electric energy, or other DC source or AC converted to DC source or a (dis) chargeable storage device, such as a secondary battery or a capacitor is incorporated to the device that converts optical energy into electric energy, and a switch 101 may be provided when required;
- a drive control circuit 102:
- related to a solid-state electronic device or a mechanical-electronic device to receive signals transmitted from the source 100 and an optical sensor 103 for operating a display unit 104, which stops its operation when the background is dark or below a preset lightness and is activated when the background is bright or above the present lightness to execute video output of text/graph display, intermittent audio output or output of flaring model at a given cycle, or stop of output operation at preset time and further to control time display on the display unit;
- a photoelectric sensor 103:
- related to a photo-electric transistor, a photo-beam gate, a photo-variable resistance (CDS), or any other device that converts optical energy into electric energy to change signals transmitted to operate the drive control circuit 102 ending on the lightness;
- and
- a display unit 104:
- related to a flat or curved display unit, or a projector display unit including combination of CRT, multi-point LEDs, OLEDS, PLEDs, PDPs, LCDs, TNLCDS, STNLCDs, TFTLCDs, or single-point LED or OLED, PLED, bulb, or other video display unit that converts electric energy into optical energy, or an audio display unit that converts electric energy into acoustic energy, or a combination of said video display unit and said audio display unit.
