Light-emitting diode based products
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a plurality of LEDs that produce at least two different spectra;
a material configured to receive light emitted from the plurality of LEDs, and to display a color that is a combination of the spectra of the plurality of LEDs;
a processor, the processor generating a control signal, the control signal changing over time to produce from the consumer product a color-changing effect; and
a controller that receives the control signal, the controller controlling power delivered to one or more of the plurality of LEDs in response to the control signal; and
a user interface adapted to receive a user input to control operation of the processor.

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.
