... Thirdly, since TAOS’ ALS closely approximates the response of the human eye, it can also help improve visual performance. While eyestrain is not believed to permanently damage one’s eyes or cause a loss of vision, it can be very uncomfortable and lead to a loss of productivity. Using TAOS’ ALS, excessive display brightness can be eliminated and productivity can be increased by maintaining an optimal brightness level under various lighting conditions ...

... Ambient Light Threshold describes the percentage change in ambient light condition to detect. For example, small changes in ambient light can be filtered out while only “significant” changes are detected. profiles at which the nit level of the LCD panel is set for each Figure 3.

... This feature filters large changes in light such as a shadow moving across the light sensor and prevents display “bouncing.” TAOS suggests exposing Backlight Transition Speed, Ambient Light Threshold, and Duration of Change Outside Threshold on a user interface in order to provide some level of end-user customization. Alternatively, the designer can hard-code these values to best fit their application. The Advanced dialog also includes an ‘ ...

... This problem is overcome in the TSL256x through the use of two photodiodes. One of the photodiodes (channel 0) is sensitive to both visible and infrared light, while the second photodiode (channel 1) is sensitive primarily to infrared light.
