Patent number: 11284993Abstract: A display device (e.g., in a contact lens) is mounted on the eye. The eye mounted display contains multiple sub-displays, each of which projects light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display. Additionally, a “locally uniform resolution” mapping may be used to model the variable resolution of the eye. Accordingly, various aspects of the display device may be based on the locally uniform resolution mapping. For example, the light emitted from the sub-displays may be based on the locally uniform resolution mapping.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Tectus CorporationInventors: Michael Frank Deering, Alan Huang

Patent number: 10802298Abstract: An eye mounted display presents defocused images to patients to affect their eyeball development and control focusing disorders such as myopia or hyperopia. For example, images may be projected with peripheral myopic defocus in order to control myopia. Images may be projected with peripheral hyperopic defocus in order to control hyperopia.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Tectus CorporationInventors: Kuang-mon Ashley Tuan, Michael Frank Deering

Patent number: 10417950Abstract: A color eye-mounted display typically contains different color light emitters, with red, green and blue being the most common color combination. In one approach, the resolution of the red, green and blue components is not the same. For example, there may be more individually addressable red or green subpixels than blue subpixels. In hardware, this may be implemented by using fewer blue light emitters. Alternately, there may be equal numbers of red, green and blue light emitters, but the blue light emitters are not individually addressable and are grouped together to form larger blue subpixels. For example, three or more blue light emitters may form one addressable blue subpixel.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Tectus CorporationInventors: Michael Frank Deering, Paul Scott Martin

Patent number: 10089966Abstract: A display device is mounted on and/or inside the eye. The eye mounted display contains multiple sub-displays, each of which projects light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display. The projected light propagates through the pupil but does not fill the entire pupil. In this way, multiple sub-displays can project their light onto the relevant portion of the retina. Moving from the pupil to the cornea, the projection of the pupil onto the cornea will be referred to as the corneal aperture. The projected light propagates through less than the full corneal aperture. The sub-displays use spatial multiplexing at the corneal surface. Various electronic devices interface to the eye mounted display.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Spy Eye, LLCInventors: Michael Frank Deering, Alan Huang
