CONTACT LENS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295758 titled 'CONTACT LENS
The abstract of this patent application describes a contact lens with an antenna unit that receives energy through the human body and supplies power to a load on the lens substrate.
- The contact lens includes a lens substrate, an antenna unit, and a load.
- The antenna unit consists of a first antenna element with a conductor in contact with the eyeball or eyelid, and a second antenna element with a conductor separated by a gap and not in contact with the eye.
- The antenna unit receives alternating-current energy through the human body and supplies electric power to the load on the lens substrate.
Potential Applications: - Medical monitoring and data transmission through the contact lens. - Augmented reality and heads-up display technology integrated into the lens. - Enhanced communication capabilities for individuals with visual impairments.
Problems Solved: - Providing a convenient and unobtrusive way to power and operate devices on a contact lens. - Enabling seamless integration of technology into everyday eyewear.
Benefits: - Improved convenience and comfort for users. - Enhanced functionality and communication capabilities. - Potential for new applications in healthcare, entertainment, and communication industries.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Contact Lens Technology for Enhanced Communication and Monitoring This technology could be used in the healthcare industry for remote patient monitoring, in the entertainment industry for augmented reality experiences, and in the communication industry for hands-free communication devices.
Questions about Contact Lens with Antenna Technology: 1. How does the antenna unit on the contact lens receive energy through the human body? 2. What are the potential long-term effects of wearing a contact lens with integrated technology like this?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of wearable technology and smart contact lenses may provide further insights into the development and applications of similar technologies.
Original Abstract Submitted
a contact lens according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a lens substrate to be worn on an eyeball, an antenna unit that is provided on the lens substrate and receives alternating-current energy through a human body, and a load that receives electric power supplied from the antenna unit. the antenna unit includes a first antenna element including a first conductor and a second antenna element including a second conductor. the first conductor is provided on the lens substrate at a position that is in contact with the eyeball or an eyelid when an eye is open. the second conductor is provided on the lens substrate at a position that is separated from the first conductor by a predetermined gap and not in contact with the eyeball or the eyelid when the eye is open.
