    摘要: An illumination device includes a laser source, a conventional diffuser element, and an extender optic with a curved interior surface and a curved exterior surface. Light emitted by the laser source with a given field of illumination (FOI) is received by the conventional diffuser element and outputted towards the interior surface of the extender optic with an increased FOI; the exterior surface of the extender optic then outputs the light received by the interior surface as light with an even greater FOI usually in the range of 120°-185°.

    摘要: VCSEL-based flood illuminators are fabricated to be compact and surface-mounted devices. A substrate is constructed as a panel array having top and bottom electrodes. Individual ones of the VCSEL dies are mounted in electrical communication with pairs of the top electrodes. The VCSEL dies are encased in an encasement disposed on the top surface of the substrate, and a diffuser structure is nano-imprinted adjacent each of the VCSEL dies. The encasement can use a potting resin and a polymer layer. The potting resin encases the VCSEL dies. The polymer layer is softer and is disposed on the potting resin. Nanoimprint lithography forms the diffuser structures in the polymer layer. The panel array is then singulated to form the individual VCSEL-based flood illuminators.

    摘要: A display includes a stack that includes, from top to bottom: a display layer including an array of spaced pixels and/or spaced subpixels and an array of spaced transmission spaces, wherein each transmission space is defined by a spacing between a subset of the spaced pixels and/or spaced subpixels; a micro-lens array (MLA) layer including an array of micro-lenses, wherein each micro-lens includes a curved surface in alignment with a corresponding one of the transmission spaces; and a laser light emitting (LLE) layer including an array laser diodes, wherein each laser diode is positioned in alignment with one micro-lens of the MLA layer and the corresponding one of the transmission spaces of the display layer and the curved surfaces of the micro-lenses face the LLE layer.
