Abstract: This frame comprises: a front piece; a temple piece; a connection part that is elastic and that connects the front piece and the temple piece; and wiring which electrically connects a front piece-side electrical element provided to the front piece and a temple piece-side electrical element provided to the temple piece, and a portion of which is routed through the space between the front piece and the connection part.

Abstract: This eyewear is provided with: a frame; a lens which is supported by the frame, and which includes an optical characteristic varying portion having an optical characteristic which is varied by means of electric control; a communication portion for receiving information from an external terminal; and a control portion for controlling the optical characteristic varying portion on the basis of the information received from the external terminal.

Abstract: Eyewear having: an optical module; an input unit; a sensing unit; a storage unit that stores at least conditions that change optical properties of the optical module; and a control unit that performs electric control of the optical module, in accordance with a set mode, by using electric control. The set modes include: a first mode in which the control unit electrically controls the optical module on the basis of a condition stored in the storage unit and a detection value for the sensing unit; and a second mode in which the control unit electrically controls the optical module on the basis of instructions received by the input unit. The conditions stored in the storage unit are updated on the basis of the detection value for the sensing unit when the input unit has received an instruction in the second mode.

Abstract: Provided is eyewear comprising a front piece that has a metallic wraparound end piece and a non-metallic hinge member that constitutes a hinge portion together with the wraparound end piece. Thereby eyewear that is comfortable to wear and has a metallic front piece is provided.

Abstract: This frame component constituting a frame of eyewear is provided with: a housing having a first surface that has a first recess portion formed therein, and a first hole that opens to the first recess portion; a first device disposed in the first recess portion; and a fastening member inserted into the first hole and fixing the first device to the housing. Through this configuration, a frame component is provided which can reduce the thickness dimension of a portion in which a device is provided.

Abstract: This eyewear is provided with: a lens which has an electric element, an electrode of the electric element being disposed at an edge of the lens; a frame which has a control unit for controlling the electric element, and which holds the lens; a conductive wire which has a long conductor surface that extends along and facing such edge, and which is connected to the control unit; and a conductive piece which extends along and facing such edge and which comes into contact with the electrode and the conductor surface.

Abstract: Provided is a sensor module that includes: a casing; a contacted part that is disposed so that at least a part thereof is exposed to the outside of the casing and that has conductivity; and a detection part that has an electrostatic capacitance type detection pad and that is disposed inside the casing. The detection part further includes a conductive plate provided so as to correspond to the detection region of the detection pad, the contacted part being electrically connected to the conductive plate. This configuration makes it possible to provide a sensor module that is highly sensitive to contact with an object, and that prevents damage to the detection pad caused by contact with the object.
