Abstract: A varifocal liquid lens includes a body filled with two different fluids separated by an interface of a variable curvature across a clear aperture of the varifocal liquid lens. At least one of the first or second fluids is birefringent, such that a refractive index difference between the first and second fluids and resulting optical power of the varifocal liquid lens is dependent on polarization of impinging light. At a first light polarization, the first and second fluids may be matched in refractive index, while at a second, orthogonal light polarization, the first and second fluids may be mismatched in refractive index, whereby the first interface between the first and second fluids may have a variable, non-zero optical power for the second polarization while having a substantially non-variable, zero optical power for the first polarization of light.

Abstract: A device is provided. The device includes a first lens configured to provide a first optical power that is variable within a first optical power adjustment range at a first step resolution. The device also includes a second lens coupled with the first lens and including a deformable member that is deformable to vary an optical power of the second lens. The second lens is configured to provide a second optical power that is variable within a second optical power adjustment range at a second step resolution, the second step resolution being smaller than the first step resolution.

Abstract: A device is provided. The device includes a reflective polarizer configured to selectively reflect or transmit a polarized light based on a polarization of the polarized light. The device also includes a display element disposed at a first side of the reflective polarizer, and configured to output a first image light representing a virtual image. The device also includes a polarization switch disposed between the display element and the reflective polarizer, and configured to switch or maintain a polarization of the first image light. The device further includes an active dimming device disposed at a second side of the reflective polarizer, and configured to provide an adjustable transmittance of an input light.

Abstract: According to examples, a lens configuration for a head-mounted display (HMD) device may include a base platform made from glass or plastic, an antenna layer deposited onto the base platform, an optical polymer film deposited onto the antenna layer, and a lens layer deposited onto the optical polymer film through a 3D printing technique. The antenna layer may include a transparent antenna embedded into or deposited onto a transparent layer. The lens layer may be 3D printed as multiple partial layers to have a shape that matches a prescription for the lens layer.

Abstract: A switchable optical retardation device includes a switchable retardation element including liquid crystals and an electrical driver circuit. While in a first state, the switchable retardation element modifies light transmitted through the switchable retardation element by causing a phase shift of a first retardation angle. While in a second state, the switchable retardation element modifies the light transmitted through the switchable retardation element by causing a phase shift of a second retardation angle distinct from the first retardation angle. The electrical driver circuit provides a first voltage for placing the switchable retardation element in the first state and a second voltage for placing the switchable retardation element in the second state. The first voltage is greater than the second voltage, the second voltage is a non-zero voltage, and the electrical driver circuit alternatingly provides the first voltage and the second voltage with a predefined frequency.
