  2. Background light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_light

    A background light is used to illuminate the background area of a set. The background light will also provide separation between the subject and the background. [1] Many lighting setups follow a three-point lighting or four-point lighting setup. Four-point lighting is the same as three-point lighting with the addition of a background light. [2]

  3. Backlighting (lighting design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlighting_(lighting_design)

    A back light, which lights foreground elements from the rear, is not to be confused with a background light, which lights background elements (such as scenery). In the context of lighting design , the back light is sometimes called hair or shoulder light , because when lighting an actor or an actress , backlighting makes the edges the subject's ...

  4. Extragalactic background light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extragalactic_background_light

    The diffuse extragalactic background light (EBL) is all the accumulated radiation in the universe due to star formation processes, plus a contribution from active galactic nuclei (AGNs). [1] This radiation covers almost all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum , except the microwave, which is dominated by the primordial cosmic microwave ...

  5. Three-point lighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_lighting

    The addition of a fourth light, the background light, makes for a four-point lighting setup. The background light is placed behind the subject(s), on a high grid, or low to the ground. Unlike the other three lights, which illuminate foreground elements like actors and props, it illuminates background elements, such as walls or outdoor scenery.

  6. Cosmic infrared background - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_infrared_background

    Recognizing the cosmological importance of the darkness of the night sky (Olbers' paradox) and the first speculations on an extragalactic background light dates back to the first half of the 19th century. Despite its importance, the first attempts were made only in the 1950-60s to derive the value of the visual background due to galaxies, at ...

  7. LED-backlit LCD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED-backlit_LCD

    To generate white light best suited as an LCD backlight, parts of the light of a blue-emitting LED are transformed by quantum dots into small-bandwidth green and red light such that the combined white light allows a nearly ideal color gamut to be generated by the RGB color filters of the LCD panel. The quantum dots may be in a separate layer as ...

  9. Surface brightness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_brightness

    The background light is then subtracted from the measurement to obtain the total brightness. [2] The resulting magnitude value is the same as a point-like source that is emitting the same amount of energy. [3] The total magnitude of a comet is the combined magnitude of the coma and nucleus.
