| Title: |
Methods and Apparatus for Generating and Modulating White Light Illumination Conditions |
| Abstract: |
Methods and apparatus for generating and modulating white light
illumination conditions. Examples of applications in which such methods
and apparatus may be implemented include retail environments (e.g., food,
clothing, jewelry, paint, furniture, fabrics, etc.) or service
environments (e.g., cosmetics, hair and beauty salons and spas,
photography, etc.) where visible aspects of the products/services being
offered are significant in attracting sales of the products/services.
Other applications include theatre and cinema, medical and dental
implementations, as well as vehicle-based (automotive) implementations.
In another example, a personal grooming apparatus includes one or more
light sources disposed in proximity to a mirror and configured to
generate variable color light, including essentially white light, whose
color temperature may be controlled by a user.
