The invention relates to a passive optical display system that enables the time indicators on the dial (1) of mechanical or analog clocks to be concealed in such a way as to be indistinguishable from the dial background (16) under ambient light and to be made visible only depending on the position of the hour (17) and / or minute hands (18). In the system, the hour (17) and minute hands (18) are arranged in a light-guided optical structure comprising a light-guided hand body (19) that collects ambient light and transmits it to the tip of the hand (24), a hand optical core (20), a hand light-gathering surface (21), a microprismatic / diffractive light input structure (22), and a hand reflective side surface / optical boundary surface (23). The guiding optical output (25) at the tip of the hand couples the transmitted light only to the display input area / optical coupling input (11) of the aligned concealed hour indicator / hour index (9) or concealed minute indicator / minute line (10).The dial (1) indicators are formed not as visible paint or print on the surface, but as optical receiver-emitter structures within the embedded optical indicator layer (7) located under the upper decorative dial layer (3). Sunlight or office light from above is limited by an optical masking layer (4), an angular selective optical limiter layer (5), or a micro-louver / micro-louver structure (6) so as not to activate the indicators.

This invention relates to the field of optical imaging system technology, and more particularly to an optical imaging system for continuous protection against pulsed laser-induced blindness. The system includes a secondary imaging optical system, an imaging detector, a nonlinear absorption-type optical limiter, and a two-dimensional moving unit. The secondary imaging optical system comprises a primary imaging optical component and a secondary imaging optical component.

The nonlinear absorption-type optical limiter is mounted on the two-dimensional moving unit and positioned near the primary image plane of the secondary imaging optical system's principal optical axis. The two-dimensional moving unit drives the movement of the nonlinear absorption-type optical limiter, allowing the incident light beam to pass through different positions on the nonlinear absorption-type optical limiter. The advantage is that it provides continuous laser protection for the imaging detector, achieving automatic protection for the optical imaging system.
