Abstract

Un exemple d'appareil comprend un panneau d'affichage et un contrôleur. Le contrôleur identifie une quantité d'une longueur d'onde de lumière émise, identifie une quantité de focalisation d'une entité vers le panneau d'affichage, et amène le panneau d'affichage à changer en réponse à une détermination du fait qu'une quantité seuil de la longueur d'onde de lumière a été atteinte pendant une période de temps sur la base de la quantité de focalisation de l'entité vers le panneau d'affichage. Un exemple de procédé de fonctionnement d'un panneau d'affichage consiste à déterminer une estimation d'une quantité d'une longueur d'onde de lumière reçue au niveau d'une entité pendant une période de temps sur la base d'une quantité de focalisation de l'entité vers un panneau d'affichage, et à effectuer un réglage de sortie d'image du panneau d'affichage en réponse à une détermination du fait que l'estimation dépasse un seuil de longueur d'onde correspondant à la période de temps.
