In one aspect, a method includes providing a lens substrate having an array of lenses. The lens substrate includes an overflow region next to each lens of the array. Each overflow region includes an overflow lens material. The method also includes separating the lens substrate into a plurality of smaller lens substrates. Each of the smaller lens substrates has one of the single lens and the plurality of stacked lenses. Separating the lens substrate into the smaller lens substrates may include removing or substantially removing the overflow regions. In one aspect, the method may be performed as a method of making a miniature camera module. Other methods are also described, as are miniature camera modules.

An eyewear device including an eye tracker to track a user's eye. The eyewear includes a see-through display for creating an image. The eyewear includes a light source generating a collimated light beam, and the display includes a powered optical element that receives and reflects the light beam. The powered optical element spreads the light beam to uniformly illuminate a user's eye. The powered optical element may include a holographic element.
摘要:
Eyewear having an optical waveguide communicating infrared light from a remote infrared emitter in the eyewear to an optical output coupler that uniformly illuminates an eye for tracking eye movement of a user. An optical input coupler couples a light beam emitted by the remote infrared emitter into the waveguide. The remote infrared emitter simplifies industrial design and is a single light source. The remote infrared emitter is not in a peripheral vision of a user's eye and improves a cosmetic impact.
摘要:
An electronic eyewear device with a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator to apply torque to the eyewear temples. The torque presses the eyewear temples against the side of a user's head for a snug and comfortable fit. The SMA actuator allows one size of eyewear frames to fit a larger range of users, thereby reducing the number of sizes required to be manufactured for the electronic eyewear device.
摘要:
A see-through display including a polarized reflective pinhole mirror display. The pinhole mirror display includes a plurality of tiny switchable polarized mirrors. The respective polarized mirrors individually reflect impinging light from an illuminator, and guide the respective portion of light into a pupil of an eye. A reflective optically powered surface reflects light from the illuminator. Each mirror has a first polarization and reflects a portion of light and produces a picture element (pixel) that forms a virtual image seen by the eye of the user. A user may view the reflected virtual image having the first polarization from the illuminator, as well as the image from the real world via a rear substrate that has a second polarization. Although the mirrors are very small, human eyes can still detect the mirrors if they are not polarized. The mirrors and other components are polarized so that the eye can see the real world filtered with the second polarization, but not the mirrors having a different first polarization.
摘要:
A system, method and software product to optimize optical and/or digital system designs. An optical model of the optical system design is generated. A digital model of the digital system design is generated. Simulated output of the optical and digital models is analyzed to produce a score. The score is processed to determine whether the simulated output achieves one or more goals. One or more properties of at least one of the optical model and the digital model is modified if the goals are not achieved. The analyzing, processing and modifying is repeated until the goals are achieved, and an optimized optical system design and optimized digital system design are generated from the optical and digital models.
摘要:
This invention provides a vision system that increases the field of view of an electronic binocular system without degrading image quality or requiring extremely large format sensors or displays. The vision system comprises an imaging device coupled with a viewing device. The imaging device comprises a compression lens and an image sensor. The viewing device comprises an image display and a decompression lens. The compression lens matches the optical distortion to the human visual acuity curve for field positions greater than an angle .theta.. Below angle .theta. there is substantially no distortion. The optimum angle .theta. depends on the application. For an average individual viewing a landscape the angle .theta. is about 10.degree.. For different viewing objects, the optimum angle .theta. varies from about 5.degree. to about 15.degree.. The image sensor can be infrared sensitive for infrared viewing. For low-light level viewing an image intensifier can be positioned between the compression lens and the image sensor. The imaging device can be connected to the viewing device in a unitary structure or the imaging device can be remote from the viewing device. The compression lens and the decompression lens are compound lenses, each comprising a plurality of component lenses. One or more surface of one or more component lens can be aspheric.
