  • Publication number: 20230341904
    Abstract: This application provides a flexible screen cover. The flexible screen cover includes a protective layer, a main layer, and a buffer layer. A modulus ratio of the main layer to the buffer layer is 8 to 180000. The buffer layer can be disposed at any proper position in the flexible screen. A modulus ratio of an adjacent layer to a buffer layer is 2 to 500000. The collapsible electronic device includes a housing and a flexible screen, and the flexible screen is installed in the housing. This application can improve impact resistance performance of the flexible screen.

  • Publication number: 20220299692
    Abstract: An optical system (200) includes an emissive display (220) and a reflective polarizer (100) disposed on the display (220). The display (220) includes a blue pixel (222b) emitting light having a peak at a wavelength ?b. For substantially normally incident light: for the wavelength ?b, the reflective polarizer (100) reflects at least 30% of the incident light having a first polarization state (b) and transmits at least 75% of the incident light having an orthogonal second polarization state(a); and for at least one wavelength ?1 greater than ?b, ?1-?b?50 nm, the reflective polarizer (100) transmits at least 75% of the incident light for each of the first and second polarization states. For the wavelength ?b, the reflective polarizer (100) has a maximum optical transmittance Tmax for light incident at a first incident angle, and an optical transmittance Tmax/2 for light incident at a second incident angle greater than the first incident angle by less than about 50 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20220146725
    Abstract: A system may include one or both of a light emitter and a light receiver, and an optical filter. The optical filter includes a wavelength selective scattering layer. The wavelength selective scattering layer may have a near-infrared scattering ratio of less than about 0.9. The filter may have a visible reflective haze ratio of greater than about 0.5. A method may include disposing the wavelength selective scattering layer adjacent one or both of the light emitter and the light receiver. The optical filter may include a wavelength selective reflective layer. The optical filter may include a wavelength selective absorbing layer. An article may include the optical filter. The wavelength selective scattering layer may have an average near-infrared scattering of less than 60%, an average visible scattering of greater than 10%, and a difference between the % total visible reflectance and the % diffuse visible reflectance of less than 20.

  • Publication number: 20220052301
    Abstract: A display (1000) including a display panel (130) and a polarizer (110) disposed to receive a light (150) output of the display panel (130) is described. The polarizer (150) may be a reflective polarizer (110) or a circular polarizer (100) incorporating a reflective polarizer (110). The display panel (130) includes a plurality of pixels and each pixel includes a plurality of subpixels. The reflective polarizer (110) has a first reflection band, wherein at normal incidence, the first reflection band has a long wavelength band edge wavelength between peak emission wavelengths of two subpixels in the plurality of subpixels. The reflective polarizer (110) may be disposed between an absorbing polarizer (106) and a retarder (108) in a circular polarizer (100). The reflective polarizer (110) may have substantially non-overlapping first, second, and third reflection bands.
