EYEWEAR WAVEGUIDE WITH REFLECTOR
Eyewear including a frame, a projector supported by the frame, and a lens supported by the frame. The lens has a first surface facing an eye of the user and a second surface facing away from the eye of the user when the frame is worn. The lens also includes a waveguide defined by the first and second surfaces to receive light from the projector. An input light coupler and an output light coupler are on the first surface of the lens and at least one reflector is positioned on a second surface of the lens to redirect light received from the input coupler and/or the output coupler to redirect light having an angle of incidence with respect to the second surface of the lens that would result in that portion of the light exiting the waveguide through the second surface in the absence of the at least one reflector.
User-wearable illumination assembly
In one aspect, a user-wearable illumination assembly includes eyeglass frames and a headlamp removably coupled to the eyeglass frames. Electrical circuitry may be integrated with the eyeglass frames. The headlamp and the eyeglass frames have mounting structure that cooperate to removably support the headlamp thereon. A light source is disposed within the headlamp and electrical communication between the light source and the electrical circuitry of the eyeglass frames is provided by electrical contacts associated with the mounting structures of the headlamp and eyeglass frames. In another aspect, a user-wearable illumination assembly for use with eyeglass frames includes a clip assembly that is selectively removably couplable to a bridge portion of the eyeglass frames, and a headlamp coupled to the clip assembly. The illumination assembly further includes a battery that is selectively removably couplable to the eyeglass frames and at least one electrical conductor coupling the battery to the headlamp.
CONTROL DEVICE
If the frames of a pair of eyeglasses have a built-in sensor, replacement of the sensor may result in increased effort, cost, and the like. Accordingly, the object is to provide a control device enabling a user to replace the sensor easily. A control device, including: a connecting unit that includes a sensor; and a main unit including a first control unit that conducts processes regarding information obtained from the sensor. The connecting unit is removably connected to each of the main unit and an object mounted on a head of a human body.
Spectacle lens and spectacles
The spectacle lens includes a lens substrate including a blue light absorbing compound, and a multilayer film including a metal layer having a film thickness of 1.0 nm to 10.0 nm, wherein a blue light cut ratio is 35.0% or more, an average reflectance in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 500 nm on an object-side surface obtained by measurement from the object side is in a range of 15.00% to 25.00%, and an average reflectance in a wavelength range of 400 nm to 500 nm on an eyeball-side surface obtained by measurement from the object side is less than 2.00%.
Glasses with fluid-fillable membrane for adjusting focal length of one or more lenses of the glasses
In one aspect, a device includes a frame, at least one lens coupled to the frame, at least one membrane at least partially covering at least one face of the lens, a reservoir in fluid communication with the membrane and containing fluid, and a fluid control assembly which controls fluid communication of the fluid between the reservoir and the membrane.
Cordless LED headlight and control thereof
A wireless headlight assembly for attachment to an eyewear frame is disclosed. The wireless headlight assembly comprises a battery pod containing a battery connected to a lower housing element, which controls the application of power from the battery to an attached headlight assembly containing a headlight.
OPTICAL SYSTEM
An optical system is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a light-quantity adjustment module. The first optical module, the second optical module, and the light-quantity adjustment module are arranged in a direction of an optical axis. The first optical module and the second optical module are movable in the direction of the optical axis.
SUN PROTECTION DEVICE
The invention is based on a sun protection device, in particular sun spectacles, with at least one optical sun protection filter (12) comprising at least one liquid-crystal cell (14, 14′), with at least one sensor unit (16) configured for capturing a solar irradiation, and with at least one control and/or regulation unit (18), which is configured for controlling and/or regulating a permeability of the optical sun protection filter (12) depending on a solar irradiation.
It is proposed that the control and/or regulation unit (18) is in at least one operating state configured for controlling the at least one liquid-crystal cell (14, 14′) of the optical sun protection filter (12) for generating a permeability gradient (20), which is defined for a user (31) and features at least two differing permeabilities.
Near-eye display systems, devices and methods
A near-eye display device includes (a) a display unit having a liquid-crystal-on-silicon (LCOS) display and a first polarizing beam splitter interface for (i) reflecting illumination light from an illumination module towards the liquid-crystal-on-silicon display and (ii) transmitting display light from the LCOS display based on the illumination light, and (b) a viewing unit having an imaging objective that forms an image of the LCOS display for the pupil based on the display light, and a second polarizing beam splitter interface for (i) reflecting reflected display light from the imaging objective towards the pupil and (ii) transmitting ambient light from an ambient scene towards a pupil, the second polarizing beam splitter interface and the first polarizing beam splitter interface being orthogonal to a common plane.
USER-WEARABLE ILLUMINATION ASSEMBLY
A user-wearable illumination assembly comprising eyeglass frames supporting a pair of lenses, a mounting structure on a bridge of the eyeglass frames, a headlamp removably coupled to the mounting structure, a battery housing removably coupled to the headlamp, and a battery inside the battery housing.
