  • Publication number: 20190377181
    Abstract: An electronic device may include a display system for presenting images close to a user's eyes. The display system may include a display unit that directs light and an optical system that redirects the light from the display unit towards a user's eyes. The optical system may include an input coupler and an output coupler formed on a waveguide. The input coupler may redirect light from the display unit so that it propagates in the waveguide towards the output coupler. The output coupler may redirect the light from the input coupler so that it exits the waveguide towards the user's eyes. A light-redirecting element may be used to redirect edge light that would otherwise be outside of the user's field of view towards the user's eyes.

  • Patent number: 10486600
    Abstract: Systems are presented for improving side mirror functionality of a vehicle. In one embodiment, the systems involve a side mirror with an adjustable profile. The systems include an actuator for altering the adjustable profile of a mirror in response to signals from a sensor (e.g., a camera). The mirror is coupled to a side of the vehicle through the actuator. In another embodiment, the systems involve an integrated side mirror. The systems include a first transmissive optic, a second transmissive optic, and at least one optical element that enable a field of view to be seen through a portion of the vehicle. In an additional embodiment, the systems involve a display system for integrating side-mirror functionality into a display image. The display system includes an image processing unit and a display unit for forming a display image at a location visible to a driver. The display image includes a field of view imaged by a sensor. Other systems are presented.

  • Publication number: 20190324561
    Abstract: A stylus can be provided with an on-board display that indicates to a user a color that will be applied when operating the stylus with an external device. The display on the stylus can be positioned to conveniently provide an indication of the color. For example, the display can be provided at or near a tip that is used to contact the external device. The stylus can further provide an ability for the user to manually select a color, which can then be shown on the display of the stylus and transmitted to the external device for application. The stylus can further include an ability to scan a color from a physical object, with the color being shown on the display of the stylus and transmitted to the external device for application.

  • Publication number: 20190324274
    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a transparent display. The transparent display may be formed from a display unit that provides images to a user through an optical coupler. A user may view real-world objects through the optical coupler while control circuitry directs the transparent display to display computer-generated content over selected portions of the real-world objects. The head-mounted display may also include an adjustable opacity system. The adjustable opacity system may include an adjustable opacity layer such as a photochromic layer that overlaps the optical coupler and a light source that selectively exposes the adjustable opacity layer to ultraviolet light to control the opacity of the adjustable opacity layer. The adjustable opacity layer may block or dim light from the real-world objects to allow improved contrast when displaying computer-generated content over the real-world objects.

  • Patent number: 9469083
    Abstract: Inverted Nanocone Structures and Its Fabrication Process. The method of fabricating nanotextured structures includes making a master mold having an array of tapered structures to be replicated. The master mold is pressed into a curable polymer supported on a substrate and the polymer is cured. Thereafter, the mold is detached from the cured polymer to form the nanotextured structure.

  • Patent number: 9120669
    Abstract: Fabrication method. At least first and second hardmasks are deposited on a substrate, the thickness and materials of the first and second hardmask selected to provided etch selectivity with respect to the substrate. A nanoscale pattern of photoresist is created on the first hardmask and the hardmask is etched through to create the nanoscale pattern on a second hardmask. The second hardmask is etched through to create the desired taper nanocone structures in the substrate. Reactive ion etching is preferred. A glass manufacturing process using a roller imprint module is also disclosed.
