    摘要: A switchable window element with a layer structure comprising a switchable layer, two polarizers and two optical retarders; wherein a first polarizer and a first optical retarder are arranged in an optical path prior to the switchable layer and a second polarizer and a second optical retarder are arranged in the optical path after the switchable layer wherein the switchable layer is a vertically aligned liquid crystal layer comprising a liquid crystalline medium and wherein the product of the thickness d of the switchable layer and the optical anisotropy Δn of the liquid crystalline medium is in the range of from 0.05 μm to 3.0 μm and the liquid crystalline medium has a clearing point of at least 70° C.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for providing pixelated occlusion is disclosed. The apparatus includes a display, a unitary and transmissive optical component, and a contact lens. The display provides a display image. The unitary reflective and transmissive optical component receives the display image and forms a reflected display image having a first polarization and receives a scene image and forms a transmitted scene image. The contact lens forms a combined image including the reflected display image and the transmitted scene image. The pixelated display includes one or more occluding pixels having a second polarization with the first polarization substantially orthogonal to the second polarization. The pixelated display is included anterior to the unitary and reflective optical component.
