Abstract
The Digital Lampshade Display system comprises a supporting a lamp fixture with stand structurally coupled to a base with conventional light fixture on the stand supporting a 3D conformable surface flexible display. The system controls the functions for the flexible 3D conformable surface display having external and internal surfaces for light emission, the display surface configured as a lampshade surrounding the conventional light fixture but also a flexible display screen for emitting diffuse light as a lampshade around a conventional light and electronically configurable to display downloaded static and video images.
Claims18
A Digital Lampshade Display system comprising:
- a base lighting unit for housing electronic components and circuit logic,
- a supporting a lamp fixture stand structurally coupled to the base and with conventional light fixture on the stand also supporting and coupled to a 3D conformable surface flexible display,
- the flexible 3D conformable surface display having external and internal surfaces for light emission, the display surface configured as a lampshade surrounding the conventional light fixture,
- the light emitting layers are coupled to a flexible display interface (FDI) logic for digital image screen loads and other display control functions,
- the flexible display interface is coupled a main control console, the display interface having components and logic for digital communication coupling the display to the control console,
- the main control console with executable digital control components, communication protocol and logic is coupled to a wire/wireless communication facility for handling user interface both local and remote, loading, displaying, downloading and storing image, video and audio files from digital media sources,
- the communication facility with electronic components, communication protocol and logic for loading and downloading digital images via wired or wireless standard protocol communication facility electronic components and logic to the control console for routing onto the flexible display interface and or media storage, and
- the lampshade display physically configured for emitting diffuse light and for displaying images and video received via the communication facility,
- whereby a flexible display screen for emitting diffuse light as a lampshade around a conventional light can also display downloaded static and video images.

A method of creating Digital Lampshade Display system comprising the steps of:
- providing a base lighting unit for housing electronic components and circuit logic,
- structurally coupling a lamp fixture stand to the base and with conventional light fixture on the stand for supporting and coupled to a 3D conformable surface flexible display,
- configuring the flexible 3D conformable surface display having external and internal surfaces for light emission as a lampshade surrounding the conventional light fixture,
- coupling light emitting layers of the display to a flexible display interface (FDI) logic for digital image screen loads and other display control functions,
- electrically coupling the flexible display interface to a main control console, the display interface having components and logic for digital communication coupling the display to the control console,
- electronically coupling the main control console having executable digital control components, communication protocol and logic to a wire/wireless communication facility for handling user interface both local to the fixture and remote, loading, displaying, downloading and storing image, video and audio files from digital media sources via the communication facility,
- loading and downloading digital images, audio and video content via wired or wireless standard protocol communication facility electronic components and logic to the control console for routing onto the flexible display interface and or media storage, and
- configuring the lampshade display for emitting diffuse light and for displaying images and video received via the communication facility,
- such that a flexible display screen for emitting diffuse light as a lampshade around a conventional light can also display downloaded static and video images.
