Abstract: An electrowetting optical element for enabling powering of a first and a second electrode layer for rearranging a polar liquid relative to a non-polar liquid on a hydrophobic surface of an insulating layer. The electrowetting optical element includes a first electrode layer stack, a second electrode layer stack, one or more cell walls extending between the first and second electrode stacks, and a formed containment space containing a polar liquid and a non-polar liquid wherein the liquids are immiscible with each other. Each of the one or more cell walls are mounted on a second interface surface of the second electrode layer stack and extend towards the first electrode layer.

Abstract: An electrowetting optical element, having a first electrode layer stack and a second electrode layer stack. Each layer stack has an electrode for applying a voltage to the electrodes for rearranging polar liquid relative to non-polar liquid. A containment space is formed between the first and second electrode layer stack. One or more cell walls extend between the electrode stacks for defining sides of the containment space forming cells. The electrowetting optical element further includes a retroreflective layer for reflecting incident light back through the element.

Abstract: Optical wave guide panel for visualization of an image, wherein the panel has an image interface surface for interfacing with an image to be visually presented and a viewing interface surface opposite the image interface surface for reviewing the image located at the image interface surface. The panel has at least one boundary, and is fabricated from a transparent solid material. The panel is provided with a pattern of grooves and to the image interface surface, extending at lease partially into the panel between image interface surface and the viewing interface surface of the panel. The pattern of grooves comprises at least one groove following a contour of the at least one boundary of the panel.
