Estimating the term…
A head-mounted display system including a contact lens having a first region and a second region adjacent the first region, an eyewear lens having an inner surface facing the contact lens, and an illuminator configured to produce an imaged light output directed toward the inner surface of the eyewear lens. A first imaged light ray produced by the illuminator is incident on the inner surface and is reflected by the eyewear lens to the first region. The first region is configured to transmit the first imaged light ray, and the second region is configured to reflect or absorb a second imaged light ray produced by the illuminator and reflected from the eyewear lens. The eyewear lens is configured to transmit an ambient light ray to the second region and the second region is configured to transmit the ambient light ray.
A contact lens comprising a first region and a second region and incorporating a multilayer optical film comprising at least one stack of microlayers arranged into a plurality of optical repeat units, each microlayer continuously extending through the first and second regions of the contact lens, each optical repeat unit comprising a first microlayer that is birefringent in the second region and substantially isotropic in the first region.
A multilayer optical film comprising microstructures configured to reflect at least a portion of a light incident on the multilayer optical film at an angle of incidence in a range of about 10 degrees to about 80 degrees into a direction substantially normal to the multilayer optical film.
A lens comprising a multilayer optical film, wherein the lens has opposing first and second major surfaces, and wherein the multilayer optical film comprises microstructures configured to reflect at least a portion of a light incident on the first major surface of the lens at an angle of incidence in a range of about 10 degrees to about 80 degrees into a direction substantially normal to the lens.
