Abstract: A first type of stacked LC structure (1000) includes at least two liquid crystal (LC) cells (1005a, 1005b) arranged in optical series that share a common substrate (1012) between adjacent LC cells. A second type of stacked LC structure (900) includes at least two LC cells (905a, 905b) arranged in optical series that share a common electrode layer (918) between adjacent LC cells. An optical assembly for use in a head mounted display (HMD) may include one or more stacked LC structures configured to transmit light in successive optical stages to provide a varifocal optical display assembly having adjustable optical power. By sharing a common substrate or a common electrode layer between adjacent LC cells, the total thickness of a stacked LC structure may be reduced, which may lead to a corresponding reduction in size and weight and improvement in user comfort for an HMD.

Abstract: A device includes a stack of a lens assembly and a steering assembly. The stack is configured to receive a beam from a first side and output the beam from a second side. The lens assembly is configured to provide an adjustable optical power to the beam. The steering assembly is configured to provide an adjustable steering angle to the beam. The device also includes a reflector configured to receive the beam output from the second side of the stack, and reflect the beam back to the second side of the stack. The beam reflected back from the reflector is incident onto the second side of the stack, and output from the first side of the stack.

Abstract: A display system includes a source of unpolarized image light, and a stack of polarization-selective optical elements operable to switchably convert the unpolarized image light into two orthogonally polarized light beams, each of which being switchable in at least one beam characteristic. An output polarizer selects one of the two orthogonally polarized light beams for providing to a user. A depolarizer may be disposed between an electronic display emitting polarized light and the stack. The depolarizer may be in the form of an LC bilayer with randomized in-plane optic axis.

Abstract: A near eye display (NED) includes an electronic display configured to output image light. Further, the NED includes an eye tracking module and multiple optical elements that are combined to form an optical system to allow for changes in position of one or both eyes of a user of the NED. Various types of such optical elements, which may have optical states that are switchable, may be used to steer a light beam toward the user's eye. A direction of the steering may be based on eye tracking information measured by the eye tracking module.

Abstract: An optical device is provided. The optical device includes an optical grating. The optical grating includes two electrodes arranged opposite to each other and a liquid crystal (LC) composition sandwiched between the electrodes. The two electrodes provide a driving voltage to the optical grating. The LC mixture includes a host LC and one or more LC dimers dissolved as a guest in the host LC. The host LC and the one or more LC dimers have respective dielectric anisotropies of opposite signs in nematic phase. A net dielectric anisotropy of the LC mixture is substantially neutral at a predetermined temperature.
