Disclosed are examples of optical/electrical devices including a variable TIR lens assembly having a transducer, an optical lens and an electrowetting cell coupled to an exterior wall of the lens. The electrowetting cell contains two immiscible liquids having different optical and electrical properties. One liquid has a high index of refraction, and the other liquid has a low index of refraction. At least one liquid is electrically conductive. A signal causes the high index of refraction and the low index of refraction liquids to assume various positions within the electrowetting cell along the exterior wall. The properties of the optical lens, e.g. its total internal reflectivity, change depending upon the position of the respective liquids along the exterior wall. The light detection characteristics of the assembly change to receive an input light beam over a range of inputs or over a range of fields of view.

A substrate 1 includes a color center excited by excitation light, and at least a pair of reflection members 21a, 21b are arranged with gaps from the substrate 1. The substrate 1 causes the excitation light entering the substrate 1 to exit through its surfaces without reflection, and the reflection members 21a, 21b cause the exited excitation light to reflect at the reflection surface 21-1 or 21-2 and enter the substrate 1, and cause the excitation light to repeatedly enter and exit the substrate 1 and thereby pass through the substrate 1 only a predetermined number of times. Here, the irradiating device 4 emits the excitation light such that the excitation light is incident to the reflection surface 21-1 or 21-2 with an angle perpendicular to one axis among two axes of the reflection surface 21-1 or 21-2 and with a predetermined slant angle from the other axis.

An augmented reality display device is used to provide an augmented reality image to one eye of a user. The augmented reality display device includes a curved eyepiece, multiple first micromirrors and two first displays. These first micromirrors are disposed on the curved eyepiece. The two first displays are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the curved eyepiece. Each first display is for emitting a first image beam. These first micromirrors are for imaging two first image beams emitted by the two first displays onto a retina of the eye to form the augmented reality image. Among them, the horizontal field of view formed by these first micromirrors to the eyes falls within the range of 80 degrees to 110 degrees.

A projection lens module includes a lens assembly, a reflector arranged beside the lens assembly, a housing assembly covering the reflector, and a buffer. The reflector includes a reflecting surface and a back surface opposite to each other; the reflecting surface faces the lens assembly to reflect a light beam passing through the lens assembly. The housing assembly includes a flow channel frame, an inner surface. The flow channel frame is arranged on the inner surface and protrudes toward the back surface. The buffer is sandwiched between the flow channel frame and the back surface. A flow channel is formed between the flow channel frame and the back surface and communicates with the air inlet and the air outlet.
