Abstract
We disclose an optical device comprising an optical stack. The optical stack comprises a first substrate layer, a second substrate layer, and an optical medium located between the first and second substrate layers. The optical stack is bent such that a second portion of the optical stack extends behind a first portion of the optical stack.
Claims24
An optical stack, comprising:
- a first substrate layer;
- a second substrate layer;
- an optical medium located between the first and second substrate layers;
- wherein the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are bent such that a second portion of the optical stack extends behind a first portion of the optical stack, each of the first portion and the second portion of the optical stack including a portion of the first substrate layer, a portion of the second substrate layer and a portion of the optical medium;
- and
- further comprising one or more intermediate transparent layers between the first portion and the second portion of the optical stack, the first portion and the second portion forming adjacent portions of the optical stack, and wherein the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are bent around the one or more intermediate transparent layers.

A method of manufacturing an optical stack, the method comprising:
- forming a first substrate layer,
- forming a second substrate layer,
- forming an optical medium located between the first and second substrate layers;
- bending the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer such that a second portion of the optical stack extends behind a first portion of the optical stack, each of the first portion and the second portion of the optical stack including a portion of the first substrate layer, a portion of the second substrate layer and a portion of the optical medium;
- and
- forming one or more intermediate transparent layers between the first portion and the second portion of the optical stack, the first portion and the second portion forming adjacent portions of the optical stack, and wherein the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are bent around the one or more intermediate transparent layers.

An optical stack comprising
- a first substrate layer;
- a second substrate layer;
- and
- an optical medium located between the first and second substrate layers;
- wherein the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are bent such that a second portion of the optical stack extends behind a first portion of the optical stack, and wherein one or more of the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer comprise a single continuous substrate layer forming both the first portion and the second portion of the optical stack, and
- further comprising electrical connections coupled with the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer, and wherein the electrical connections are located on a single side of the optical stack.
