| Title: |
Light-Emitting Diode Based Products |
| Abstract: |
High-brightness LEDs, combined with a processor for control, can produce a
variety of pleasing effects for display and illumination. A system
disclosed herein uses high-brightness, processor-controlled LEDs in
combination with diffuse materials to produce color-changing effects. The
systems described herein may be usefully employed to bring autonomous
color-changing ability and effects to a variety of consumer products and
other household items. The system may also include sensors so that the
illumination of the LEDs might change in response to environmental
conditions or a user input. Additionally, the system may include an
interface to a network, so that the illumination of the LEDs may be
controlled via the network.
