  • Publication number: 20210036265
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display. The display has pixels configured to display an image. The display is mounted in a housing. The housing may include head-mounted support structures configured to support the display for viewing through lenses. The pixels of the display may be covered by a layer of thin-film encapsulation. The thin-film encapsulation may be covered with a cover layer such as a glass cover layer that is attached to the thin-film encapsulation layer by a layer of adhesive. To suppress internal light reflections, the display may include reflection suppression structures. The reflection suppression structures may include an antireflection layer and/or polarizer and waveplate layers. The reflection suppression structures may be formed on an outwardly facing surface of the cover layer and/or between the thin-film encapsulation layer and the cover layer.

  • Patent number: 10818711
    Abstract: Narrowband light filters, and methods of manufacturing such light filters, are provided. A narrowband light filter may include at least two electrically conductive bodies, an electrically conductive thin film layer disposed between the at least two electrically conductive bodies, at least one protective oxide layer disposed on the thin film layer and electrically conductive bodies, and at least one slit disposed through the electrically conductive thin layer. In various embodiments, the electrically conductive bodies give the narrowband light filter a mirrored structure in exemplary embodiments of the invention. The narrowband filters may also include one or more slits. Multiple slits may be configured to make the narrowband filtration polarization-independent. A plurality of narrowband light filters may be configured into pixel arrays. Pixel arrays may also be used in multispectral or hyperspectral imaging apparatus and techniques.
