Abstract: A head-mounted device may have left-eye and right-eye optical modules that may have a display that creates an image and a corresponding lens that provides the image to an eye box for viewing by a user. The optical modules each include a lens barrel to which the display and lens of that optical module are mounted and a head-mounted optical module gaze tracking system. The gaze tracking system may have light-emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes that emit light at a given near infrared wavelength and may operate through the lens and a removable supplemental lens. The supplemental lens may be a prescription lens and may have an antireflection portion that reduces the reflectance of the lens across visible and near infrared wavelengths. The antireflection portion may be a thin-film interference coating or a moth-eye portion. In this way, the gaze tracking system may operate through the removable supplemental lens.

Abstract: An optical device includes a dielectric substrate and a cured resin coating adhered to the substrate. The resin coating includes an organic component and an inorganic component. A surface portion of the resin coating includes greater than about 60 at. % inorganic component and less than about 40 at. % organic component, an intermediate portion includes between about 10 at. % and about 60 at. % inorganic component, and between about 40 at. % and about 90 at. % inorganic component, and a bottom portion includes less than about 10 at. % inorganic component and greater than about 90 at. % organic component. The resin coating has improved hard coat properties and excellent adhesion to a dielectric.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have optical modules that present images to a user's left and right eyes. Each optical module may have a lens support structure that supports a display and a fixed lens. Vision correction lenses may be removably coupled to the fixed lenses to help customize the head-mounted device to the vision of a particular user. A user may view images on the displays through the removable and fixed lenses from eye boxes. The optical modules may include infrared light sources that supply infrared light to the eye boxes and infrared light sensors such as infrared cameras for gaze tracking and authentication. The lenses may have optical surfaces covered with coating that enhance optical performance and may have edge surfaces that are provided with structures to help reduce stray light reflections. The lenses may be configured to pass visible and infrared light.

Abstract: Protective cover layers for electronic devices are described. In an embodiment, an electronic device includes a display panel and a protective cover layer over the display panel. The protective cover layer includes a transparent support substrate and a hardcoat layer covering an exterior facing surface of the transparent support substrate. The display panel may be a flexible display panel and the protective cover layer may flex with the flexible display panel.
