A light control film includes a two-dimensional array of projections arranged across the light control film. A square of a magnitude of a Fourier transform frequency spectrum of the projections includes an annular continuous peak and a corresponding annular continuous full width (FW) at 15% maximum. The peak and the FW vary by no more than about respective factors of 10 and 3 along the annular continuous peak.

An electronic device may have a display with an array of pixels configured to display images for a user. The electronic device may have an ambient light sensor for gathering ambient light information. Control circuitry in the electronic device may adjust the brightness level of an image being displayed by the display based on ambient light measurements from the ambient light sensor. The ambient light sensor may be formed from an ambient light sensor module that is aligned with an opening in an opaque masking layer in the display. One or more antireflection layers may be interposed between an inwardly facing surface of the display and an opposing external surface of the ambient light sensor module. The ambient light sensor module may have a light attenuator and other optical structures.

According to an aspect, a detection device includes: a plurality of light-receiving elements configured to receive light; and a light guide portion one surface of which faces the light-receiving elements. The light guide portion includes a plurality of light guide paths provided throughout from the one surface to the other surface of the light guide portion, and a light-absorbing portion having higher absorbance of the light than that of the light guide paths. When viewed from a direction in which the light-receiving elements and the light guide portion are stacked, more than one of the light guide paths overlap one of the light-receiving elements.

A method which may be used for forming an optical effect coating for a light transmission element configured to form a part of a cover of a device is disclosed. The method comprises: printing a first coating layer having a plurality of adjacent first elongated micro openings extending in a first direction in an aperture area, and printing a second coating layer having a plurality of adjacent second elongated micro openings extending in a second direction, the second direction differing from the first direction, in the aperture area. Thereby, an optical effect coating is formed, comprising micro holes formed at intersections of the first and the second elongated micro openings, the micro holes producing locally increased effective light transmittance through the optical effect coating in the aperture area.

A method for manufacturing a high transmission light control film and the high transmission light control film are discussed. The high transmission light control film manufactured according to an embodiment can have a high aperture ratio since a louver layer is formed of a thin deposition film having a thickness of nanoscale, thereby having an improved front-view luminance.

A spatial image display touch device includes an imaging element, a display, an optical film and a sensor unit. The imaging element and the display are retained in a housing and inclined to each other. The display generates an image light passing through the imaging element to form a spatial image. The optical film, composed of a plurality of micro-grids arranged in a matrix, is attached on the display. The sensor unit is mounted in the housing to detect an object appearing at the position wherein the spatial image is displayed. By arranging the optical film in front of the display, only the spatial image is visible and the problem of ghost images is avoided.

A magnetic privacy screen comprises a privacy screen which has a front and back side. The privacy screen functions to reduce the visible angle of an electronic display. One or more magnetic components are in communication with the privacy screen. A plurality of magnets disposed within the electronic display releasably engage with the magnetic component of the privacy screen, retaining the privacy screen on the electronic display.

A device for generating a virtual image comprising a display element for generating an image, an optical waveguide for widening an exit pupil, and an anti-glare element arranged downstream of the optical waveguide in a beam path wherein the anti-glare element is a shutter is disclosed. A method and a head-up display comprising a device for generating a virtual image are also disclosed.

A device for generating a virtual image comprising a display element for generating an image, an optical waveguide for expanding an exit pupil, and an antiglare element, which is arranged after the optical waveguide in a beam path and is configured as a shutter comprising slats, wherein the slats are arranged variably in their setting angle during operation is disclosed.

An optical sensor includes a light receiving part including a plurality of pixels and receiving light from a measuring object, the pixels being disposed in a matrix along a first direction and a second direction, and a louver film in which a first layer and a second layer are laminated, the first layer including a transmissive portion that transmits light of a predetermined wavelength band and a light shielding portion that spiels light, the transmissive portion and the light shielding portion being alternately disposed along the first direction, the second layer including the transmissive portion and the light shielding portion that are alternately disposed along the second direction. The transmissive portion included in one of the first layer and the second layer includes a first wavelength selecting unit that transmits light of a first wavelength band and a second wavelength selecting unit that transmits light of a second wavelength band.
