  • Lens design and methods of manufacture thereof
    Patent number: 11681080
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lens comprising a central portion that comprises a first polymer; and a peripheral portion that comprises a second polymer; where the peripheral portion surrounds the central portion; and where the peripheral portion has a skeletal density that is greater than its bulk density. Disclosed herein too is a method of manufacturing a lens comprising injecting into a mold a molten polymer to produce the lens; where the lens comprises a central portion; and a peripheral portion; where the peripheral portion surrounds the central portion; and where the peripheral portion has a skeletal density that is greater than its bulk density.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AG
    Inventors: Michael Babala, Matthew Warmuth, Thomas E. Blake, III
  • LENS DESIGN AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20210157087
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lens comprising a central portion that comprises a first polymer; wherein the central portion is operative to transmit electromagnetic radiation through it; and a peripheral portion that comprises a second polymer; where the peripheral portion accommodates a dimensional change in the central portion by absorbing energy and being transformed from a lower energy state to a higher energy state. Disclosed herein too is a method of manufacturing a lens comprising injecting into a mold a molten polymer to produce the lens; where the lens comprises a central portion; and a peripheral portion; where the peripheral portion accommodates a dimensional change in the central portion by absorbing energy and being transformed from a lower energy state to a higher energy state.
