Abstract in simplified Chinese:一种安全设备包含一透镜数组及安置在该透镜数组下方之复数个第一及第二片段。在一第一视角,该透镜数组呈现一第一影像以供观看而不呈现第二影像以供观看,且在不同于该第一视角之一第二视角,该透镜数组呈现该第二影像以供观看而不呈现该第一影像以供观看。至少一个第一或第二片段包含经组态以产生该第一或第二影像之一或多个色彩之一或多个微结构或一或多个奈米结构。
Abstract:
An optical device includes an array of lenses and a plurality of segments disposed under the array of lenses. The plurality of segments corresponds to a plurality of images. Upon tilting the device at different viewing angle, the array of lenses presents images sequentially. In some examples, individual ones of the segments can comprise specular reflecting, transparent, diffusely reflecting, and/or diffusely transmissive features. In some examples, individual ones of the segments can comprise transparent and non-transparent regions. Some examples can incorporate more than one region producing an optical effect.
Abstract:
Polarization preserving projection screens provide optimum polarization preservation for 3D viewing. The projection screens additionally provide improved light control for enhanced brightness uniformity and contrast for both 2D and 3D systems. Generally the disclosed method for providing a projection screen comprises stripping an optically functional material from a carrier substrate thus creating engineered particles from the optically functional material. The engineered particles may then be deposited on a second substrate to create a substantially homogeneous optical appearance of the projection screen.

Abstract:
An optical device includes an array of lenses and a plurality of first and second segments disposed under the array of lenses. At a first viewing angle, the array of lenses presents a first image for viewing without presenting the second image for viewing, and at a second viewing angle different from the first viewing angle, the array of lenses presents for viewing the second image without presenting the first image for viewing. In some examples, individual ones of the first and second segments can comprise specular reflecting, transparent, diffusely reflecting, and/or diffusely transmissive features. In some examples, individual ones of the first and second segments can comprise transparent and non-transparent regions. Some examples can incorporate more than one region producing an optical effect.
Abstract:
An optical product includes an array of lenses and first and second plurality of portions disposed under the array of lenses. Individual ones of the first plurality of portions can correspond to a point on a surface of a first 3D object, and include first non-holographic features configured to produce at least part of a first 3D image of the first 3D object. Individual ones of the second plurality of portions can correspond to a point on a surface of a second 3D object, and include second non-holographic features configured to produce at least part of a second 3D image of the second 3D object. The optical product can include an interference optical structure disposed with respect to the first and/or second non-holographic features.

Abstract:
A document, product, or package, such as a banknote, passport or the like comprises structures having dichroic effects that change color with viewing angle in both transmission and reflection. Such structures can be useful as security features that counter the ability to effectively use counterfeit documents, products, packages, etc.
Abstract:
Ultra thin Fresnel lenses and methods of forming the same are described herein. An optical element comprising an ultra thin Fresnel lens includes a plurality of Fresnel elements formed on a surface of a substrate. Each of the plurality of Fresnel surface elements has an angled facet portion and a shallow or substantially horizontal portion. The Fresnel surface elements can be formed, for example, by a hot stamp or cold transfer method.
Abstract:
An optical product can reproduce a first 3D image of at least part of a first 3D object and a second 3D image of at least part of a second 3D object. The optical product comprises a surface configured, when illuminated, to reproduce by reflected or transmitted light, the first 3D image without reproducing the second 3D image at a first angle of view, and the second 3D image without reproducing the first 3D image at a second angle of view. Each portion of first portions can correspond to a point on a surface of the first 3D object, and comprise first non-holographic features configured to produce at least part of the first 3D image. Each portion of second portions can correspond to a point on a surface of the second 3D object, and comprise second non- holographic features configured to produce at least part of the second 3D image.
