In 2004, 50 years after Halolight was released, Philips patented Ambilight:
"A display apparatus comprising a display unit further comprises at least one controllable illumination unit for providing a background light having a controllable color." Source: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/f9/1c/33/3432c808be0669/EP1379082A1.pdf A Philips TV set with Ambilight: as the display shows an image with predominantly blue colors in the left top and yellow in the right bottom, the TV set has lights on its back that extend these colors beyond the screen, outwards.

From America, Aug 1951: HaloLight Television ad from Sylvania

(+Television Sets with HALOLIGHT and GOLDEN JUBILEE Television Sets)

«An Announcement of Greatest Importance by Sylvania Television»
A new advancement in television technology that creates a more comfortable viewing experience. Soft, cool light frames the screen, reducing contrast and enhancing clarity, providing a more enjoyable television experience. An Announcement of Greatest Importance by Sylvania Television SCIENTISTS have known for years that greater comfort in viewing television could be obtained by "Surround Lighting," a laboratory term used in the science of optics. Now Sylvania has applied this principle to a television screen and has named it HALOLIGHT. Only Sylvania has HALOLIGHT. What is HALOLIGHT? It is a border of soft, cool light that frames your television picture. What does HALOLIGHT do? It reduces the contrast between your brilliant TV screen and its darker surroundings. Why does HALOLIGHT make televiewing pleasanter? Because this frame of light offers a transition for the inner eye between a brilliant light and the contrast of darker room illumination. Does HALOLIGHT affect the picture? Yes, it actually makes the picture look clearer-makes it seem larger. IS HALOLIGHT just an added feature? No, it is an important improvement-built into the Sylvania TV set-the most important advance in years in television viewing. Why is Sylvania FIRST with HALOLIGHT? Because Sylvania research scientists have the benefit of 50 years of background in lighting and electronics. You will find HALOLIGHT exclusively on the leading models of the SYLVANIA GOLDEN JUBILEE Television Sets in a few weeks, at your nearest Sylvania dealer's store. Meanwhile, send for 12-page illustrated booklet, "Greater TV Viewing Comfort for You-and Yours," describing HALOLIGHT in detail-sent free on request. *Sylvania Trademark
