  • Patent number: 12372736
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for mounting two spherical optical components. The device includes a first holder, having a receptacle for a first optical element with a first spherical convex face with a first radius, and a second holder, having a receptacle for a second optical element with a second spherical optical concave face with a second radius. At least one of the holders has a supporting face with a third radius, and the first holder can be supported on the second holder such that the radii have a common center point when the first optical element is held in the first holder and the second optical element is held in the second holder.

  • Publication number: 20250100239
    Abstract: A method of providing refractive microstructures on a surface of a spectacle lens body by an additive manufacturing process is provided, in which the refractive microstructures are formed by applying and curing a curable material. The process includes forming a layer of a first liquid or viscous curable material and an additional amount of the first curable material or an amount of a second liquid or viscous curable material at locations at which the refractive microstructures shall be formed before curing or pinning the at least one first curable material. Protrusions formed by the additional first curable material or the second curable material are levelled out by material transport processes within the liquid or viscous material in the layer of the at least one curable material. In addition, a spectacle lens with refractive microstructures is provided.

  • Patent number: 11794428
    Abstract: An inkjet method for producing a spectacle lens and fluids that can be used in an inkjet method for producing a spectacle lens are disclosed. The inkjet method includes the following steps: a) providing a substrate to be printed on, b) applying to the substrate to be printed on from step a) at least two volume elements applied adjacently and/or adjoining one another, c) transferring the at least two volume elements applied adjacently and/or adjoining one another from step b) into at least one volume composite, d) transferring the at least one volume composite from step c) into at least one homogeneous volume composite, e) transferring the at least one homogeneous volume composite from step d) into at least one final volume composite.

  • Patent number: 7161171
    Abstract: A material including a glass or vitroceramic substrate having a first layer and a second layer deposited thereon, each of the first and second layers including at least one transparent conducting oxide (TCO). The first layer has a roughness of more than 1 nm and the second layer has a roughness less than or equal to 1 nm. A transmittance in the visible wavelength range of the material is at least 80%. The work function of the second layer is greater than the work function of the first layer and is greater than 4.6 eV.
