META OPTICAL DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18343167 Titled 'META OPTICAL DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device that can manipulate the phase of light using nanostructures. The device consists of multiple areas, each with its own set of rules for shaping and arranging the nanostructures. There is also a compensation area between each adjacent pair of areas, which helps to maintain a consistent refractive index change. The device can have any number of phase modulation areas, and each area is assigned a natural number. The abstract does not provide a title.


Original Abstract Submitted

A meta-optical device includes a plurality of phase modulation areas configured to modulate a phase of an incident light, each of the plurality of phase modulation areas including a plurality of nanostructures having a shape and an arrangement that are determined according to a respective rule set for each of the plurality of phase modulation areas; and a compensation area located between a kphase modulation area and a (k+1)phase modulation area adjacent to each other, from among the plurality of phase modulation areas, and including a compensation structure for buffering an effective refractive index change occurring in a boundary area between the kphase modulation area and the (k+1)phase modulation area according to respective rules of the kphase modulation area and the (k+1)phase modulation area, wherein N is a number of the plurality of phase modulation areas, k and N are natural numbers, and k is equal to or greater than 1 and less than N.
