Abstract
An ambient light control system is provided to enable a display screen to display content in a light controlled environment by emitting light of a known quantity and/or color. In particular, light at the peripheral environment of the display is controlled in a manner that impacts the perceived quality of the content being displayed. In some implementations, sourced light is emitted by illuminators angled toward a rear surface behind the display screen for the light to be reflected back toward environmental areas at the outside edges of the display screen. Reflective parameters that characterize the rear surface may be used to define the brightness level and color of the sourced light to achieve a target ambient light at the edges of the display screen. Other environmental light may also be controlled, such as side lighting and remote controlled room lighting.
