Wide-angle beam steering using two or more variable lenses to form a small-angle beam steering element, along with a numerical aperture converter and a wide-angle lens. The small-angle beam steering element might comprise either one- or two-dimensional beam steering with tunable liquid lenses.

Disclosed is a drying-wetting separated filling method and a filling apparatus for an electrowetting display device. The filling method comprises filling a non-polar solution into pixel grids on a lower substrate of an electrowetting display device in air, and filling a polar solution to immediately cover the non-polar solution filled after filling the non-polar solution into the pixel grids. Compared with filling the non-polar solution into the polar solution, directly filling the non-polar solution in air has better filling uniformity, easier operation and control. With the method, the fillings of the polar solution and the non-polar solution are easy, having a higher filling efficiency, and no air bubble residue.

An active matrix substrate includes: a first substrate; and first electrodes, a dielectric layer covering the first electrodes, and a first water-repelling layer in this sequence on the first substrate, wherein the dielectric layer has a multilayer structure including two or more layers and includes a silicon nitride film and a metal-oxide film between the silicon nitride film and the first water-repelling layer, and the silicon nitride film has an oxygen-containing surface layer region on a surface thereof that is in contact with the metal-oxide film.

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal comprising a liquid lens including: a side wall part; a first and a second glass layer which cover one surface and the other surface of the side wall part, respectively, to form a receiving part; a plurality of electrode modules, each of which is positioned on the side wall part and includes a first and a second electrode; an insulation layer covering the first electrode; a nonpolar liquid filled in the receiving part; and a polar liquid which is separated from the polar liquid in layers, is filled in the receiving part, and is in contact with the second electrode, wherein a boundary surface between the nonpolar liquid and the polar liquid changes into a shape protruding toward the polar liquid as a voltage applied to the electrode modules increases, and a control part differently controls at least a part of the voltage applied to the plurality of electrode modules to adjust a position of a protrusion of the boundary surface.

A two-dimensionally extensive optical element having a light entry side and a light exit side. The optical element includes alternating transparent first regions and second regions having materials with different first refractive indices and second refractive indices. The first refractive index is higher than the second refractive index. First layers and second layers which are opaque or are switchable to be opaque are arranged at the light entry surfaces and light exit surfaces of the second regions. When the layers are opaque, the propagation directions of light passing through the optical element are limited compared to layers which are switched to be transparent.

The lenticular layer includes (i) a first side, (ii) a second side opposite the first side, and (iii) particles in a fluid medium between the first and second sides of the lenticular layer. The second side of the lenticular layer includes lens elements forming a lenticular array. The particles of the lenticular layer are configured to move within the fluid medium such that (i) the lens elements are filled with the particles in a first mode or (ii) the lens elements are filled with the fluid medium in a second mode. The display device is configured to operate as a directional display in one of the first and second modes and as a single display in another of the first and second modes.

A voltage driver can be operated to power an electrowetting lens of an eye-implantable or eye-mountable device. The voltage driver includes a first charge pump that outputs a first voltage having a first polarity and a second charge pump that outputs a second voltage having a second polarity, where the second polarity is an opposite polarity of the first polarity. The voltage driver can be operated to charge the electrowetting lens by coupling the first charge pump to the electrowetting lens and, after charging the electrowetting lens, discharge the electrowetting lens by coupling the second charge pump to the electrowetting lens. In operation, charging and discharging the electrowetting lens adjusts an optical power of the electrowetting lens and can thus adjust an optical power available for vision when the electrowetting lens is implanted in or mounted on an eye.

An intraocular micro-display (IOMD) implant includes an enclosure shaped for implantation into an eye, a micro-display, a base lens, and an adjustable lens. The micro-display is disposed in the enclosure and oriented to emit an image towards a retina of the eye. The base lens has a fixed optical power, is attached to the enclosure, and is positioned relative to the micro-display to reside in an optical path extending between the micro-display and the retina. The base lens is configured to apply the fixed optical power to the image. The adjustable lens is disposed in the optical path between the micro-display and the retina. The adjustable lens has an adjustable optical power that is adjustable in-situ to adjust a focal distance of the image projected by the IOMD implant after the IOMD implant has been implanted into the eye.
