Abstract
A method may include bonding a deformable bounding element to a structural support element in which the deformable bounding element and a cavity-adjacent side of the structural support element define a cavity. The method may further include filling the cavity with a deformable medium by injecting the deformable medium past a cavity-opposite side of the structural support element and toward the cavity-adjacent side of the structural support element. The method may additionally include sealing an entry point of the injection of the deformable medium into the cavity. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- an optical lens assembly having a thickness less than three millimeters, wherein the optical lens assembly comprises:
- a deformable bounding element bonded to a structural support element;
- and
- a deformable medium disposed between the deformable bounding element and the structural support element.
A system comprising:
- a head-mounted device comprising a pair of optical lens assemblies, wherein each of the optical lens assemblies has a thickness of less than three millimeters and comprises:
- a deformable bounding element bonded to a structural support element;
- and
- a deformable medium disposed between the deformable bounding element and the structural support element.
