Abstract: An optical system is disclosed and includes an optical sensor configured to receive light and form an image. The optical system further includes a microlens film including a structured first major surface opposite a second major surface, the structured first major surface includes a regular array of spaced apart microlenses arranged across a width and a length of the microlens film and each microlens has an effective imaging area and configured to form an image onto the optical sensor. A light absorbing layer is disposed on the array of spaced apart microlenses and reduces the effective imaging area of each microlens by at least 10%. A display panel, the optical sensor, the microlens film and the display plane are substantially co-extensive with each other along the width and length of the microlens film.

Abstract: An optical film (100) includes a plurality of polymeric layers (40) disposed between opposing first (11) and second (12) outer layers, a thinnest polymeric layer in the plurality of polymeric layers disposed closer to the first outer layer (11) and a thickest polymeric layer disposed closer to the second outer layer (12). A layer thickness gradient of the optical film (100) includes first (43) and second (45) portions joined by a step portion (20), a change in thickness across the step portion (20) at least 5 times greater than a change in thickness across each of the first (43) and second (45) portions, wherein the optical film (100) has a first average transmission percentage, TA1, in a first wavelength range, a peak transmission percentage, Tp, in a different, second wavelength range. The first wavelength range and the second wavelength range are separated by a third wavelength range with a third average transmission percentage, TA3, such that TA1>Tp>30(TA3).

Abstract: An optical system includes a lens layer including a plurality of microlenses arranged along orthogonal first and second directions, and at least one optically opaque mask layer spaced apart from the lens layer and defining a plurality of through openings therein arranged along the first and second directions. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the microlenses and the openings, such that for each microlens, the microlens and corresponding openings are substantially centered on a straight line making a same oblique angle with the lens layer. An optical layer can include the lens layer and the optically opaque mask layer embedded in the optical layer.

Abstract: An optical system is disclosed and includes an image sensor (112), a plurality of microlenses (142), at least one microlens of the plurality of microlenses defining a microlens height and a microlens diameter. The optical system also includes a plurality of light-blocking structures (146), at least one light-blocking structure of the plurality of light-blocking structures defining a light-blocking structure height and a light-blocking structure width. An aperture array (134) includes a plurality of apertures (138), each aperture being aligned with a microlens of the plurality of microlenses, and the microlenses and the light-blocking structures extend from the aperture array toward the image sensor. The systems, structures and features disclosed herein can improve a signal-to-noise ratio when detecting images, via the optical sensor, from behind a display.

Abstract: An optical element including an array of microlenses, a pinhole mask, and a wavelength selective filter is described. The pinhole mask includes an array of pinholes with each pinhole in the array of pinholes aligned with a microlens in the first array of microlenses. The wavelength selective filter is adapted to transmit a first light ray having a first wavelength and transmitted from a first microlens in the array of microlenses through a first pinhole in the array of pinholes aligned with the first microlens, and to attenuate a second light ray having the first wavelength and transmitted from the first microlens through a second pinhole in the array of pinholes aligned with a second microlens in the first array of microlenses adjacent to the first microlens.

Abstract: Provided is a barrier adhesive composition comprises polyisobutylene resin, organically modified nanoclay (e.g. montmorillonite or bentonite) and sorbent nanoparticles (e.g. CaO which acts as a desiccant and/or getter). In a preferred embodiment, the barrier adhesive composition is disposed on a gas-barrier film to form an adhesive barrier film. The adhesive barrier film can then be used for protection from oxygen and moisture in OLED displays and solid state lightings, solar cells, electrophoretic and electrochromic displays thin film batteries, quantum dot devices, sensors (e.g. touch sensor) and other organic electronic devices. The adhesive barrier film is especially well-suited for applications that require oxygen and moisture protection as well flexibility and good optical transmittance.
