| 20110096395 | COLOR SHIFTING MULTILAYER POLYMER FIBERS AND SECURITY ARTICLES CONTAINING COLOR SHIFTING MULTILAYER POLYMER FIBERS - Polymer fibers are formed with concentric alternating layers of different polymer materials. The layers pairs have cross-sectional thicknesses selected for reflecting light at a selected visible wavelength. A cross-sectional dimension of the core is at least ten times an average of the selected thicknesses of the alternating layers. Some articles formed by the fibers are formed by attaching one fiber to another: the color of the fibers at the point of attachment is different from the colors of the fibers elsewhere. The fibers may be deformed to change its color properties by elongating the cross-section of the polymer fiber along a first cross-sectional axis. In some embodiments, the fibers are polarization sensitive. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110235175 | POLARIZATION CONVERTING COLOR COMBINER - Optical elements, color combiners using the optical elements, and image projectors using the color combiners are described. The optical elements can be configured as color combiners that receive different wavelength spectrums of light and produce a combined light output that includes the different wavelength spectrums of light. In one aspect, the received light inputs are unpolarized, and the combined light output is polarized in a desired state. In one aspect, the received light inputs are unpolarized, and the combined light output is also unpolarized. The optical elements can be configured to minimize the passage of light which may be damaging to wavelength-sensitive components in the light combiner. Image projectors using the color combiners can include imaging modules that operate by reflecting or transmitting polarized light. | 09-29-2011 |

| 20110273771 | OPTICAL ELEMENT - An optical element includes a substrate including a first surface and metal structure group including a plurality of metal structures, the metal structures being arranged on the first surface in a two-dimensionally isolated manner. Light is incident on the metal structure group in an oblique manner with respect to the normal of the first surface from the metal-structure-group side or the substrate side, so that a polarization state of light that passes through the metal structure group and a polarization state of light that is reflected by the metal structure group differ from each other in accordance with a wavelength range. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20140204459 | HIGH EFFICIENCY LIGHT COMBINATION MODULE OF PROJECTION SYSTEM - A high efficiency light combination module of projection system includes a cubic polarizing beam splitter prism serving as a main body around which four lens arrays, three retarders, and three optical plates are arranged, which is used in combination with coatings that enables transmission or reflection of specific lights to allow different color lights incident from different directions to be combined as a single illumination light beam and to allow the single illumination light beam so combined to be uniform by the lens arrays to facilitate light collection and projection by a panel and a projection lens arranged behind. A polarization conversion film is set at light outgoing port to transfer the polarization states of the combined single illumination light beam into a specific polarized light for a liquid crystal projection system. | 07-24-2014 |
| 20140240829 | APODIZED BROADBAND PARTIAL REFLECTORS - A broadband partial reflector includes a multilayer polymeric optical film having a total number of optical repeating units that monotonically increases in thickness value from a first side to a second side of the multilayer polymeric optical film. A baseline optical repeating unit thickness profile is defined by a first plurality of optical repeating units and having a first average slope, and a first apodized thickness profile of the multilayer polymeric optical film is defined by a second plurality of optical repeating units having a second average slope being at least 5 times greater than the first average slope. The second plurality of optical repeating units define the first side of the multilayer polymeric optical film and join the first plurality of optical repeating units. The second plurality of optical repeating units are in a range from 3-15% of the total number of optical repeating units. | 08-28-2014 |
