Abstract
An optical module includes a lens array including a plurality of unit lenses. Each of the unit lenses has a lens pattern. The optical module further includes a polarization controller spaced apart from the lens array in one direction. The lens array converts an incident light into a circular polarization and guides the circular polarization to the lens array. A center of lens pattern is spaced apart from a center of each of the unit lenses.
Claims20
An optical module comprising:
- a lens array including a plurality of unit lenses each having a lens pattern, wherein a center of lens pattern is spaced apart from a center of each of the unit lenses;
- and
- a polarization controller spaced apart from the lens array in one direction, which converts an incident light into a circular polarization and which guides the circular polarization to the lens array.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display module including a plurality of pixels generates an image by emitting light;
- and
- an optical module which controls the light emitted from the plurality of pixels, and including:
- a lens array which refracts the light emitted from the plurality of pixels such that two images generated from two adjacent pixels among the plurality of pixels are partially overlapped and visible to a user;
- and
- a first polarization controller disposed between the display module and the lens array, and polarizes the light emitted from the plurality of pixels.
