Used is a display device having: a support; first and second image light source units mounted on the support; a first half mirror mounted on the support and having a first reflecting surface inclined with respect to an emitting direction of light of the first image light source unit; and a second half mirror mounted on the support and having a second reflecting surface inclined with respect to an emitting direction of light of the second image light source unit. The light emitted from the first image light source unit is reflected by the first reflecting surface and irradiated in a first direction, and the light emitted from the second image light source unit is reflected by the second reflecting surface and irradiated in a second direction different from the first direction. The same image or a different image can be simultaneously displayed at the first and second display regions.

After a step of etching a core layer, a lower cladding layer, and a substrate so that a recessed opening including one end of an optical waveguide is formed relative to a multilayer board and a step of forming mask layers on a top surface of the substrate including the opening, in a step, crystal is grown with respect to the mask layers in the opening, and a tilt surface to be used as the monolithic mirror is formed. An upper cladding layer is formed covering the core layer at the same time. Then, formation of an optical waveguide pattern, formation of the optical waveguide and an end surface of the optical waveguide, formation of a dielectric film for preventing reflection, and formation of a metal film on a surface of the tilt surface are executed.

An aerospace mirror having a reaction bonded (RB) silicon carbide (SiC) mirror substrate, and a SiC cladding on the RB SiC mirror substrate forming an optical surface on a front side of the aerospace mirror. A method for manufacturing an aerospace mirror comprising obtaining a green mirror preform comprising porous carbon, silicon carbide (SiC), or both, the green mirror preform defining a front side of the aerospace mirror and a back side of the aerospace mirror opposite the front side; removing material from the green mirror preform to form support ribs on the back side; infiltrating the green mirror preform with silicon to create a reaction bonded (RB) SiC mirror substrate from the green mirror preform; forming a mounting interface surface on the back side of the aerospace mirror from the RB SiC mirror substrate, and forming a reflector surface of the RB SiC mirror substrate on the front side of the aerospace mirror. Additionally, the method can comprise cladding the reflector surface of the RB SiC mirror substrate with SiC to form an optical surface of the aerospace mirror.

A catadioptric lens includes at least two optical elements arranged along an optical axis. Both optical elements are configured as a mirror having a substrate and a highly reflective coating applied to an interface of the substrate. The highly reflective coating extends from the interface of the substrate along a surface normal. At least one of the highly reflective coatings has one or a plurality of layers. The optical total layer thickness of the one layer of the plurality of layers increases radially from the inner area outward.

Disclosed are various embodiments regarding a head-mounted device. According to an embodiment, a mount device comprises: a housing comprising a front surface, a rear surface that can be mounted on a head, and a side surface surrounding the front surface and the rear surface; a coupling portion can be disposed in housing, and can be configured to be coupled so as to slope an external electronic device at a designated angle with regard to the side surface; a prism comprising a first surface capable of facing, at the designated angle, at least a part of a display included in the external electronic device that can be coupled to the coupling portion, a second surface capable of changing (through total reflection) the direction of light that is incident from the display through the first surface, and a third surface capable of emitting the light, the direction of which has changed; a mirror arranged between at least a part of the side surface and the third surface; and a splitter arranged between the mirror and the third surface to be capable of transmitting at least a part of light emitted through the third surface and changing the direction of the light, which is transmitted and then reflected by the mirror, to a direction corresponding to the rear surface.

An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may have a display cover layer. The display may have an active area with pixels and an inactive area adjacent to the active area. A reflective layer or a reflective portion of the cover layer may be formed in the inactive area and may have a reflectivity that matches a reflectivity of the active area of the display. The reflective portion may include texture or particles embedded in an ink layer. A PVD layer may be formed on the reflective layer and may have a color that matches a color of the active area. A polarizer layer may also extend across the active areas and inactive areas. In this way, an appearance of the inactive area may match an appearance of the active area when the display is off.
