    摘要: A head-mounted device may have a display that displays content for a user. Head-mounted support structures in the device support the display on the head of the user. A lens module in the head-mounted device may include a transparent lens element, a positioner that extends around the periphery of the transparent lens element, and an actuator that selectively shifts the positioner in a first direction. Shifting the positioner in the first direction causes the transparent lens element to be biased in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction at multiple points around the periphery of the transparent lens elements. The positioner may be attached to guide structures that each have a respective angled slot. Each angled slot may receive a respective tab of the transparent lens element or a respective tab of a lens shaping element that is attached to the transparent lens element.

    摘要: In an embodiment, there is provided an apparatus. The apparatus includes an optic configured for a selected illumination application. The optic includes a first lens structure and a second lens structure. The first lens structure includes a first planar external surface configured to receive incident light, and a first internal nonplanar refractive surface opposing the first planar external surface. The second lens structure includes a second planar external surface configured to emit output light, and a second internal nonplanar refractive surface opposing the second planar external surface. The second planar external surface opposes the first planar external surface. The first internal nonplanar refractive surface and the second internal nonplanar refractive surface define a cavity. The first internal nonplanar refractive surface, the second internal nonplanar refractive surface, and the cavity are positioned between the first planar external surface and the second planar external surface. The first internal nonplanar refractive surface and the second internal nonplanar refractive surface are configured to refract received light to yield emitted light having a target output parameter corresponding to the selected illumination application.
