Adaptable lenses for smart eyeglasses

An adaptive lens (200) may feature two flexible films (202), (204) secured within a rim (210) and defining a space therebetween which is filled with an appropriate fluid (206). A piston (220), driven by at least one actuator (214a-c), may be attached to one of the films (204) to displace it with res...

Zusammenfassung:	An adaptive lens (200) may feature two flexible films (202), (204) secured within a rim (210) and defining a space therebetween which is filled with an appropriate fluid (206). A piston (220), driven by at least one actuator (214a-c), may be attached to one of the films (204) to displace it with respect to the remainder of the assembly. Such action of the piston (220) distorts both films (202), (204) to change the shape of the lens and may be driven by bimorph actuators (214a-c). Distance of displacement may be calculated by measuring a magnetic field created by at least one magnet (222a-c) attached to the piston (220). Feedback control may be used to stabilize the apparatus.
