Abstract
A light activated optically controlled display unit, by means of a photo-electric sensor, stops its operation when the background is dark or below a preset lightness; and is activated to exercise video output of text/graphic display, audio output, output of flaring model at a given cycle or stop of output operation at preset time and furthermore to provide automatically timed stop of light signals output function as required when the environment is bright or having a lightness higher than the preset value, or when having a consistent light source in the environment as the background that indicates changed brighter lightness with a change rate.
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 photoelectric 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 to exercise video output of text/graphic display, audio output, output of flaring model at a given cycle or stop of output operation at preset time and furthermore to provide automatically timed stop of output function as required when the environment is bright or having a lightness higher than the preset value, or when having a consistent light source in the environment as the background that indicates changed brighter lightness with a change rate exceeding the preset value, or that indicates changed flaring with the length of such changed flaring exceeding a 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 depending on the lightness and a panoramic or fixed detection range may be provided for the photoelectric sensor 103 as required;
- 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.
