A display device includes a waveguide assembly comprising a waveguide configured to outcouple light out of a major surface of the waveguide to form an image in the eyes of a user. An adaptive lens assembly has a major surface facing the output surface and a waveplate lens and a switchable waveplate assembly. The switchable waveplate assembly includes quarter-wave plates on opposing sides of a switchable liquid crystal layer, and electrodes on the quarter-wave plates in the volume between the quarter-wave plates. The electrodes can selectively establish an electric field and may serve as an alignment structure for molecules of the liquid crystal layer. Portions of the adaptive lens assembly may be manufactured by roll-to-roll processing in which a substrate roll is unwound, and alignment layers and liquid crystal layers are formed on the substrate as it moves towards a second roller, to be wound on that second roller.

A method for manufacturing a cross-line structure includes the steps of etching to obtain a first conductive layer, depositing a second conductive material and a photoresist material on the first conductive layer, and removing the part of the photoresist material on a position where a second conductive layer is not required by means of a photomask. The method further includes the steps of etching the second conductive material, obtaining the second conductive layer, and performing compensation on a photomask graphic so that the width of an overlap portion of the second conductive layer with the first conductive layer is greater than or equal to the width of the portion of the second conductive layer that does not overlap the first conductive layer.
