Abstract: An apparatus and method wherein the apparatus includes a beam splitter configured to split a beam of light into at least two split beams, such that the at least two split beams are incident on different imaging sensors, wherein the beam splitter includes at least one diffraction grating; and at least two imaging sensors configured to detect the at least two split beams.

Abstract: A light guide assembly (2) for use in a touch sensitive area (3) of an optical touch sensing device (1) for touch screens is configured to receive light, to allow the light thereby received to propagate in the light guide assembly, and to deliver the light thereby propagated in the light guide assembly further out of the light guide assembly. The light guide assembly comprises a plurality of light guide stripes (4, 5) for controlling the propagation of light. The optical touch sensing device is configured to detect the presence of an external object (10) on the basis of changes in the light delivered further out of the light guide assembly due to interaction of the light with the external object.

The light guide assembly comprises a plurality of light guide stripes (4, 4? 5) for controlling the light propagation, and an interaction arrangement (27; 17; 21) configured to define at least one restricted interaction area (11) within the touch sensitive area for interaction between the light and the external object. The optical touch sensing device is configured to detect the presence of an external object (10) on the basis of changes in the light delivered further out of the light guide assembly due to interaction of the light with the external object.

Abstract: An adjustable focusing electrically controllable electroactive lens is provided. The adjustable focusing electrically controllable electroactive lens can adjust the focal length discretely or continuously. The lens can be incorporated in a variety of optical devices including spectacles.

Abstract: The specification and drawings present a new apparatus and method for near-to-eye (e.g., retinal) displaying with exit-pupil expansion using a scanning component (e.g., a scanning mirror) and an exit-pupil expander (e.g., diffractive exit-pupil expander) for providing a retinal scanning display with a large exit pupil.
