  • Patent number: 11791357
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application are directed towards image sensors including composite backside illuminated (CBSI) structures to enhance performance. In some embodiments, a first trench isolation structure extends into a backside of a substrate to a first depth and comprises a pair of first trench isolation segments. A photodetector is in the substrate, between and bordering the first trench isolation segments. A second trench isolation structure is between the first trench isolation segments and extends into the backside of the substrate to a second depth less than the first depth. The second trench isolation structure comprises a pair of second trench isolation segments. An absorption enhancement structure overlies the photodetector, between the second trench isolation segments, and is recessed into the backside of the semiconductor substrate.

  • Publication number: 20230324740
    Abstract: A display may include illumination optics, a ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon (fLCOS) panel, and a waveguide. The illumination optics may produce linear polarized illumination light that is modulated by the fLCOS panel to produce image light. The illumination optics may include light emitters that emit respective wavelengths of the illumination light. The illumination optics may include an X-plate that outputs the illumination light by combining the light emitted by the light emitters. Polarization recycling structures may be optically interposed between each of the light emitters and the X-plate. The polarization recycling structures may include a reflective polarizer. If desired, the polarizing recycling structures may also include a quarter waveplate. The polarization recycling structures may serve to minimize the amount of light lost in producing linearly polarized illumination light for the fLCOS display panel, thereby maximizing the optical efficiency of the display.

  • Patent number: 11778858
    Abstract: An electronic device may have a display with an array of display pixels. To increase the efficiency of the display, the display may also include an array of microlenses. Each microlens may overlap and focus light from a respective pixel. Pixels for one of the colors of light may have a high aspect ratio. These pixels may be covered by two microlenses or a single cylindrical microlens. The microlens dimensions may be tuned to mitigate non-uniformities in the brightness profiles of the pixels. The microlens edges may be laterally shifted towards or away from the center of the light-emitting areas to either reduce or increase the focusing power of the microlens. The microlenses and color filter elements in each pixel may also be shifted to account for the chief ray angle of the display.
