In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a substrate including material having a low birefringence. One or more electrodes of a touch sensor are disposed on the substrate.

Disclosed herein are techniques for molding a slanted structure. In some embodiments, a mold for nanoimprint lithography includes a support layer, a polymeric layer on the support layer and including a slanted structure, and an oxide layer on surfaces of the slanted structure. In some embodiments, the oxide layer is conformally deposited on the surfaces of the slanted structure by atomic layer deposition. In some embodiments, the mold further includes an anti-sticking layer on the oxide layer.

The present invention relates to an optical lens comprising at least one straight part and at least one curved part on the outer surface thereof, in which an apodization area for reducing a flare phenomenon is disposed at an edge adjacent to the straight part. The optical lens has the advantage of reducing flare and ghosting phenomena due to a diffraction effect of the apodization area in the edge region.

In some implementations, an optical interference filter includes a substrate; and a set of layers that are disposed on the substrate, wherein the set of layers includes: a first subset of layers; and a second subset of layers; wherein: each of the first subset of layers comprises an aluminum nitride (AlN) material, a stress of each of the first subset of layers is between −1000 and 800 megapascals, the first subset of layers has a first refractive index with a first value, each of the second subset of layers comprises at least one other material, the second subset of layers has a second refractive index with a second value that is different than the first value, and the optical interference filter has an effective refractive index greater than or equal to 95% of a highest value of the first value and the second value.
