EYEWEAR LENS CREATION USING ADDITIVE TECHNIQUES WITH DIFFUSE LIGHT
Systems and methods for lens creations are disclosed. The method includes initiating light transmission from a light source through a diffuser into a container holding resin and a substrate. The light transmission is performed according to an irradiation pattern wherein each point in the resin is illuminated by at least 10% of the diffuser. This causes a lens to be formed. To achieve this illumination, at least 15% of the diffuser receives light from the light source. Further, a diameter of the diffuser is greater than or equal to a diameter of the substrate. The system performing the methods includes a polymerization apparatus and may include a resin conditioning and reservoir apparatus, a metrology unit, a resin drainage apparatus and an optional postcuring apparatus.
Method of manufacturing optical component having micro-structures
A method of manufacturing an optical component having micro-structures is described. The method detects a crystallization temperature within a crystallization temperature interval for fully filling the molding material into a mold cavity to rapidly produce the optical element having a micro-structure with a large area.
INKJET PRINTING APPARATUS AND DISPLAY PANEL MANUFACTURING METHOD USING THE SAME
An inkjet printing apparatus includes: a stage, which reciprocates in forward and reverse directions opposite to each other and has a target substrate disposed thereon; an inspection device including a film disposed outside the stage and a measurement unit which measures an inspection pattern provided on the film; and a head assembly, which moves along one direction crossing the forward direction and has a plurality of heads which supplies a liquid composition to the target substrate. The head assembly moves in the one direction to overlap the film and sprays the composition onto the film to form an inspection pattern.
Lens casting with deformable molds
A casting method involves providing a precursor to a mold that includes a deformable surface overlying a chamber, shaping the deformable surface according to a surface profile by adjusting a fluid pressure within the chamber and driving one or more actuators that are configured to distort the deformable surface, and solidifying the precursor while the deformable surface is shaped according to the surface profile to form an optical element.
DYEING DATA MANAGEMENT METHOD AND DYEING SYSTEM
A dyeing data management method is performed between dyeing systems disposed at different locations.

SELF-ALIGNED INTEGRATED LENS ON PILLAR
Various embodiments provide methods for fabricating a couplable electro-optical device. An example method comprises fabricating a pillar on a substrate by forming a lens spacer portion about an electro-optical component fabricated on the substrate; and adhering unshaped lens material to an exposed surface of the pillar. The exposed surface of the pillar is disposed opposite the substrate. The example method further comprises maintaining the unshaped lens material at a reflow temperature for a reflow time to allow the lens material to reflow into a formed lens shape, and curing the lens material to form an integrated lens having the formed lens shape secured to the lens spacer portion and formed about the electro-optical component on the substrate.
Methods and apparatuses for casting optical polymer films
In an example method of forming an optical film for an eyepiece, a curable material is dispensed into a space between a first and a second mold surface. A position of the first mold surface relative to the second mold surface is measured using a plurality of sensors. Each sensor measures a respective relative distance along a respective measurement axis between a respective point on a planar portion of the first mold surface and a respective point on a planar portion of the second mold surface. The measurement axes are parallel to each other, and the points define corresponding triangles on the first and second mold surfaces, respectively. The position of the first mold surface is adjusted relative to the second mold surface based on the measured position, and the curable material is cured to form the optical film.
