The present invention relates to a device and a method for limiting the output of a laser, wherein a reflecting device arranged in the optical path of a laser beam comprises a switching layer which comprises or consists of a material exhibiting a metal-insulator transition and a reflecting layer which is positioned downstream of the switching layer in the optical path of the laser beam, wherein the reflecting device is configured such that an output of the laser beam when it is incident upon the reflecting device which exceeds a predefined threshold causes a change in the refractive index of the material in the switching layer, and the output of the laser beam reflected by the reflecting device is thus reduced as compared to the output of the laser beam when it is incident upon the reflecting device due to reduced reflection by the reflecting device.

Provided is a diffuser for de-speckling laser light. The diffuser includes a transparent diffuser substrate with de-speckling microstructures disposed on or formed into a first (i.e. front) side of the transparent diffuser substrate, and a reflective film coated onto an opposite second (i.e. back) side of the transparent diffuser substrate. An extinction layer may be coated onto the reflective film. An anti-reflection (AR) coating may be disposed on the first side of the transparent diffuser substrate. Also provided is a luminescent wheel including a disk and an optical ring that includes at least one fluorescent segment and the aforementioned diffuser. The optical ring is secured to the disk so as to rotate with the disk.

A high-haze anti-glare film is disclosed. The high-haze anti-glare film comprises a transparent substrate and an anti-glare layer on the substrate. The anti-glare layer comprises acrylate binder, amorphous silica microparticles and spherical organic polymer microparticles, wherein the spherical organic polymer microparticles are monodispersity and the average particle size thereof is smaller than that of the amorphous silica microparticles. The total haze (Ht) of the anti-glare film is more than 40%, and the total haze is the sum of the surface haze (Hs) and the inner haze (Hi) of the anti-glare film, and the inner haze (Hi) and the total haze (Ht) satisfy the relation 0.25<Hi/Ht<0.75. The present high-haze anti-glare film provides high anti-glare and anti-sparkling properties.

An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may be overlapped by an antiglare film. The antiglare film may have a rough surface to diffuse incident light, thereby reducing glare. Additionally, the antiglare film may have a smooth portion that forms a transparent window and allows light to pass through undiffused. The electronic device may include a light-based component, such as a camera, that receives undiffused light through the transparent window. By overlapping the light-based component with the transparent window, the light-based component may receive the light in an unimpeded manner, thereby making more accurate measurements of the light. The display may have one or more display layers, such as opaque masking layers or polarizers, with openings that are aligned with the transparent window. The light-based component may receive the light through these openings so that the light is not absorbed or polarized before reaching the component.
