Abstract: An apparatus for waveguides and a method of fabricating a waveguide combiner having at least one grating with trenches gap-filled with variable refractive index materials. At least two trenches of at least one grating includes a first gap-fill material having a first volume and a first refractive index, and a second gap-fill material having a second volume and a second refractive index different than the first refractive index. Control of the deposition of first volume and the deposition of second volume in an inkjet deposition process provide for the formation of the grating with two trenches that have different refractive indices and different gap-fill depths. The first gap-fill material and the second gap-fill material merge to form the gap-filler. Therefore, by controlling the varied refractive indices and different gap-fill depths the waveguide combiner is optimized by efficiency or a color uniformity.

The method includes printing a second film on a second area of the surface of the substrate via inkjet printing, the second film being a material that polymerizes and contracts when cured. The method further includes curing the first film and the second film to induce a bend in the substrate. In some embodiments, the method includes inkjet printing a third film and a fourth film on the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to optical devices. More specifically, embodiments described herein relate to optical devices and methods of manufacturing a patterned optical device film on an optical device substrate. According to certain embodiments, an inkjet deposition process is used to deposit a patterned inkjet coating layer on the optical device substrate. A deposition process may then be used to deposit an optical device material on the patterned inkjet coating and the optical device substrate. The patterned inkjet coating on the optical device substrate may then be washed with an appropriate detergent to lift-off the patterned inkjet coating layer from the optical device substrate to form the patterned optical device film.

Abstract: Methods of dicing optical devices from an optical device substrate are disclosed. The methods include disposing a protective coating only over the optical devices. The optical device substrate includes the optical devices disposed on the surface of the optical device substrate with areas therebetween. The areas of the optical device substrate are exposed by the protective coating. The protective coating includes a polymer, a solvent, and an additive. The methods further include curing the protective coating via a cure process so that the protective coating is water-soluble after the solvent is removed by the cure process, dicing the optical devices from the optical device substrate by projecting a laser beam to the areas between the optical devices, and exposing the protective coating to water to remove the protective coating from the optical devices that are diced.
