  • Patent number: 9995938
    Abstract: A spectacle lens for a display device can be fitted on the head of a user and generate an image. The spectacle lens can be constructed with several shells including an outer shell and an inner shell which is joined to the outer shell, wherein a curved channel shell, which includes a curved first reflecting surface and a curved second reflecting surface, is arranged between the outer and inner shell. The light guiding channel includes at least one section of the channel shell and the two reflecting surfaces on which the light bundles are reflected for guiding from the coupling-in section to the coupling-out section.

  • Publication number: 20180031840
    Abstract: A method for producing an optical element includes a) providing a first shell which is transparent in the predetermined wavelength range, b) applying a coating which is optically effective for the predetermined wavelength range onto the structured portion, c) providing a second shell which is transparent in the predetermined wavelength range, which shell has an integral embodiment and a smooth lower side which has a complementary form to the form of the upper side, d) applying an adhesive layer which is transparent in the predetermined wavelength range onto the upper side of the first shell and/or the lower side of the second shell, and e) connecting the upper side of the first shell with the lower side of the second shell by means of the adhesive layer such that a two-shell optical element is produced, in which the optically effective structure is buried.

  • Patent number: 9733492
    Abstract: A set of eyeglass lens semifinished products is provided and is composed of at least three series of eyeglass lens semifinished products having spherical or rotationally symmetric aspherical front surfaces. The series of eyeglass lens semifinished products differ in pairs in the base material of the series. Each of the series includes at least three types of eyeglass lens semifinished products which differ in pairs and the front surface shapes. The front surface shapes of the at least three types are identical on a central partial surface within the actual surface refractive power range of the front surface of the series in relation to a standard index of refraction of 1.53 between 3.2 D and 6.7 D.

  • Publication number: 20170227775
    Abstract: A method for producing an optical element includes providing a first partial body which is transparent for the predetermined wavelength range and including on its upper side a structured section, applying a coating which is optically effective for the predetermined wavelength range onto the structured section in order to form the optically effective structure, and applying a cover layer which is transparent for the predetermined wavelength range onto the upper side of the first partial body by means of casting of thermoplastic material and/or duroplastic material.

  • Patent number: 9409274
    Abstract: A tool for the polishing of an optical surface has a base which has an active surface facing the optical surface. An intermediate layer is arranged on the active surface of the base. A polishing agent carrier is arranged on the elastic intermediate layer. The elastic intermediate layer projects radially beyond the active surface of the base and the polishing agent carrier projects radially beyond the elastic intermediate layer.

  • Patent number: 7765903
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing the surfaces of optical workpieces (3) such as optical or eye glass lenses carried out with the aid of a tool (5) and consisting in holding at least one workpiece (3) in a work piece receiving support (4) which is rotatable around the axis of a workpiece spindle (1?). The invention is characterized in that the workpiece (3) is received in the receiving support (4) in such a way that the axis of rotation (2) of the workpiece spindle is placed remotely from the axis (8) of at least one workpiece (3) and the axis (18) of the workpiece support is at least partially in a parallel position to the axis of rotation of the workpiece spindle.
