Abstract: An example optical substrate, according to aspects of the present disclosure, includes a support structure, a plurality of lenses, and a plurality of flexures. Each flexure is engaged with the support structure and a respective lens for allowing independent lateral movements of the lenses during assembly of the optical substrate with another layer of an optical assembly. A first lateral movement provided by a first flexure of the plurality of flexures during the assembly is different from a second lateral movement provided by a second flexure of the plurality of flexures.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a meniscus lens includes providing an optical lens substrate having a non-planar deposition surface and depositing a resinous layer over the deposition surface to form the lens. Such a printed lens may have a radius of curvature of less than approximately 80 mm, sag of from approximately 2 mm to approximately 20 mm, a maximum thickness of less than approximately 40 mm, and a minimum thickness variation of at least approximately 2 mm.

Abstract: A backlight device includes a first surface and a second surface that is opposite to the first surface. The backlight device is configured to emit light in a first optical band through the second surface toward a display panel of a head-mounted display (HMD). The display panel is configured to convert the light from the backlight device to image light. The backlight device is transparent to light in a second optical band that is different than the first optical band. An eye tracking system illuminates an eyebox with light in the second optical band. A camera assembly positioned adjacent to the first surface of the backlight device. The camera assembly is configured to capture images of the eye in the second optical band through the backlight device, the display panel. The eye tracking system determines eye tracking information based at least in part on the captured images.

Abstract: A system comprising (1) an eyewear device dimensioned to be worn by a user and (2) a compact beam expander incorporated in the eyewear device, the compact beam expander comprising (A) a first light-spreading element configured to diffract light received from a light source, (B) a second light-spreading element configured to further diffract the light, and (C) a pixel element that is positioned proximate to the second light-spreading element and configured to direct the light toward a lens that focuses the light for an eye of the user. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: An electronic display assembly includes a display element and a corrective element coupled to the display element. The display element has a first plurality of sub-pixels of a first type and a second plurality of sub-pixels of a second type. Two adjacent sub-pixels of the first plurality of sub-pixel are separated by a sub-pixel distance. The corrective element has a plurality of features configured to diffuse light emitted by the first plurality of sub-pixels such that an apparent distance between the two adjacent sub-pixels of the first type, viewed at a viewing distance away from the electronic display assembly, is less than the sub-pixel distance.
