CONTACT LENS WITH THIN CHAMBER AND METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURING Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC G02C7/04 

FIELD: optics.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to optical elements with integrated electronic components, namely to contact lenses with a built-in ultrathin digital camera, which can be used for video recording, object recognition, implementation of user eye-tracking function, including when forming virtual, augmented, mixed or extended reality (VR/AR/MR/XR), as well as for the purpose of diagnosing and compensating for eye diseases and other applications. Electronic component comprising a power supply and a camera with at least one receiver in the form of an array of photosensitive elements is built into the housing of the contact lens from an optically transparent material. Camera is equipped with an optical system in the form of at least one coding mask separated from the receiver by an intermediate layer of a homogeneous optically transparent material and located on the surface or inside the lens housing.

EFFECT: reduced thickness of a contact lens with an integrated camera, getting a functional device which is comfortable for everyday wear.
