HOLOGRAPHIC OPTICAL ELEMENT AND PRODUCTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134103 titled 'HOLOGRAPHIC OPTICAL ELEMENT AND PRODUCTION METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The holographic optical element (HOE) described in the patent application includes a hologram and an electroactive polymer (EAP), specifically a dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA). The EAP consists of at least one elastomer layer, such as an elastomer film, placed between two electrodes, with the hologram applied to one of the electrodes. The hologram, or a holographic function provided by it, can be adjusted by deforming the EAP. A method for producing this holographic optical element is also outlined.
