An optical mount includes a mount material in a closed geometry with an outer surface sized for matching internal dimensions of an outer housing, and an inner surface including spaced apart inward extending contacting features providing contact points that collectively define an inner opening sized for securing an optical device including a crystal within. At least one feature gap or a recessed portion is between the inward extending contacting features. Edge holders are adapted for receiving corners of the optical device can be the protrusion pair or inner notches. The outer surface includes at least one outer notch between the inward extending contacting features. The edge holders and outer notch(es) are for each acting as hinge points opening or pinching depending on a direction of force on the optical mount for responding with flexure when there is a dimensional change in the crystal, mount material, or the housing.

An optical element driving mechanism is provided. The optical element driving mechanism includes a movable portion, a fixed portion, and a driving assembly. The movable portion is used to connect the optical element. The movable portion may move relative to the fixed portion. The driving assembly is used to drive the movable portion to move relative to the fixed portion.

A head-mounted display in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology includes a display housing and one or more displays within the display housing. The display system further includes a first lens and a second lens, each being operably associated with the one or more displays. A lateral distance between the first and second lenses is adjustable to accommodate users having different interpupillary distances. The display system still further includes a flexible membrane having a region extending between the first and second lenses. The region of the membrane extending between the first and second lenses is configured to resiliently expand as the lateral distance between the first and second lenses increases and to resiliently contract as the lateral distance between the first and second lenses decreases.

A head-mounted device may have a main housing containing displays that display images to eye boxes for a user when the head-mounted device is worn by the user. The head-mounted device may include a light-shielding structure coupled to the main housing and configured to rest on the nasal region of the user. The light-shielding structure may include rigid members, flexible members, and/or fabric members. The light-shielding structure may conform to the facial features of the user around the nasal region to block environmental light from entering the eye boxes when the head-mounted device is worn by the user.

A virtual reality cell phone includes: a main body including a display; an ocular plate configured to maintain a variable distance from the rear surface of the main body; and a screen and distance adjustment member interposed between the main body and the ocular plate, and configured to move the ocular plate between a retracted state in which the ocular plate comes into close contact with the main body and an extended state in which the ocular plate maintains a predetermined distance from the main body. The screen and distance adjustment member includes a plurality of screen boxes configured to slide backward and be fixed while being laid over each other.

A spatio-temporally light modulated imaging system (100) for confocal imaging an object (1) comprises a light modulating micro-mirror device (110) with an array of mirror elements, an imaging optic (120) being arranged for focusing illumination light from the micro-mirror device (110) onto the object (1) and directing detection light created in the object (1) in response to the illumination light towards the micro-mirror device (110), and a camera device (130) with at least one detector camera (131, 132) being arranged for collecting the detection light travelling via the mirror elements and a first optical relaying device (140) on a first optical axis (143), and for collecting the detection light travelling via the mirror elements and a second optical relaying device (150) on a second optical axis (153), wherein a camera body (135, 136) of the at least one detector camera (131, 132) is arranged with a vertical camera axis (137, 138), and at least one deflecting mirror (161, 162) is arranged for deflecting the detection light from the first and second optical axes (143, 153) to the vertical camera axis (137, 138). Furthermore, a method for confocal imaging an object (1) is disclosed.
