Abstract
In accordance with one implementation, a method for multiple source light output smoothing includes measuring a light distribution generated by multiple light sources arranged within an electronic device and determining at least one brightness adjustment based on the measured light distribution that is sufficient to locally reduce light output within a discrete region of a surface of the electronic device to satisfy predefined luminosity criteria. The method further includes applying an optical filter between the multiple light sources and the surface, the optical filter configured to reduce light output within the discrete region according to the determined at least one brightness adjustment.
