Three or more base optical materials are selectively combined into a trans-gradient index (GRIN) optical element (e.g., a lens). A wavelength-dependent index of refraction for light propagating perpendicular to the three or more optical materials equals: a volume fraction of a first optical material multiplied by a refractive index of the first optical material, plus a volume fraction of a second optical material multiplied by a refractive index of the second optical material, plus one minus the volume fraction of the first optical material and the volume of the second optical material all multiplied by the refractive index of a third optical material. The wavelength-dependent index of refraction distribution and a refractive index dispersion through the GRIN optical element may be independently specified from one another. A local refractive index at any point in the optical element is a fixed function of a refractive index of each individual optical material.

The transmittance variable film of the present application can solve the drive unevenness phenomenon by adjusting the pre-tilt of the opposite alignment film of the alignment film to which the ball spacer is fixed to minimize the reverse tilt occurring upon on-off driving. The transmittance variable film of the present application can be used as sunroofs.

A collimator filter (10) comprises an entry surface (11) to receive incident light (Li, Li) at different angles of incidence (i, i) and an exit surface (12) to allow output light (Lo) to exit from the collimator filter (10). A filter structure between the entry surface (11) and the exit surface (12) transmits only parts of the incident light (Li) having angles of incidence (i) below a threshold angle (max). The filter structure comprises a patterned array of carbon nanotubes (1), wherein the nanotubes (1) are aligned extending in a principal transmission direction (Z) between the entry surface (11) and the exit surface (12). The nanotubes (1) are arranged to form a two dimensional pattern (P) transverse to the principal transmission direction (Z). Open areas of the pattern (P) without nanotubes (1) form micro-apertures (A) between the nanotubes (1) for transmitting the output light (Lo) through the filter structure.
