Patent number: 11249327Abstract: Provided is a lens that includes a lens body and an internal electrode at least a part of which is exposed to an outer edge part of the lens body. The lens is configured so that in the outer edge part of the lens body, the shape of a first region that includes an exposed part where the internal electrode is exposed and the shape of a second region that does not include the exposed part are different. This configuration makes it possible to provide a lens that can be easily attached to a frame.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2017Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: MITSUI CHEMICALS, INC.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Kamibeppu, Hirofumi Asada, Akifumi Aono, Akihiro Muramatsu, Toshifumi Hino
