Patent number: 9677222Abstract: A selective dyeing method is used for dyeing a substrate, selectively within a first exposed surface portion of said substrate. For this purpose, the substrate consists of a material that is impervious to a dye with the exception of the first portion of the exposed surface. In particular, the impervious material can form a layer which covers a base portion of the substrate in a second portion of the exposed surface. The substrate is heated such that the dye penetrates a pervious material which constitutes the first portion of the exposed surface. The method is particularly useful for eliminating light diffused by the walls of a multilayer structure which is supported by means of ocular glass.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: ESSILOR INTERNATIONAL (COMPAGNIE GENERALE D'OPTIQUE)Inventors: Samuel Archambeau, Jérôme Ballet, Jean-Paul Cano, Stéphane Perrot

Patent number: 9421719Abstract: The invention relates to a transparent optical component having a cellular structure, comprising a network of walls (106), that forms a set of cells (104) that are juxtaposed parallel to a component surface. In order to produce such a component, an irregular set of points (101, 105) in the surface of the component is determined, each point being used to form a center of one of the cells. A position and an orientation of each wall are then determined such that the set of cells forms a Voronoï partition of the surface of the component. The component has a level of transparency that is compatible with an optical or ophthalmological use.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignees: Essilor International (Compagnie Generale D'Optique), Centre National de la Recherche ScientifiqueInventors: Jérôme Ballet, Céline Benoit, Christian Bovet, Jean-Paul Cano, Pierre Chavel, François Goudail

Patent number: 8079702Abstract: An optical component (10) comprises a transparent set of cells (15; 25) juxtaposed in parallel to a surface of the component. Each cell is hermetically sealed and contains a substance with an optical property. The set of cells comprises cells of several sizes. The size of the cells can be varied between various locations of the surface of the component (10), for making it possible to cut out the component without altering its optical properties. Furthermore, the variation in size of the cells serves to prevent diffraction or scattering from being visible in certain zones of the component.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2006Date of Patent: December 20, 2011Assignee: Essillor International (Compangie Generale d'optique)Inventors: Jerome Ballet, Christian Bovet
