Eyewear having flexible printed circuit substrate supporting electrical components

Eyewear, comprising:

• an eyewear frame having a front section including or coupling to first and second extended endpieces, the first and second extended endpieces being provided at opposite sides of the front section of the eyewear frame, the first extended endpiece being provided at or adjacent to a first side of the front section, the second extended endpiece being provided at or adjacent to a second side of the front section;
• a first integrated circuit provided internal to the first extended endpiece of the eyewear frame;
• a second integrated circuit provided internal to the second extended endpiece of the eyewear frame;
• a third integrated circuit provided internal to the eyewear frame;
• and
• at least one flexible printed circuit board internal to the eyewear frame, at least a portion of the at least one flexible printed circuit board being internal to at least the first extended endpiece, and at least another portion of the at least one flexible printed circuit board extending to another portion of the eyewear frame to electrically connect with at least the third integrated circuit.

Eyewear, comprising:

• an eyewear frame having a front section including or coupling to first and second side pieces, the first and second side pieces being provided at opposite sides of the front section of the eyewear frame, at least a portion of the first side piece being provided at or adjacent to a first side of the front section and extending rearward therefrom, at least a portion of the second side piece being provided at or adjacent to a second side of the front section and extending rearward therefrom;
• a first integrated circuit provided internal to the first side piece of the eyewear frame;
• a second integrated circuit provided internal to the second side piece of the eyewear frame;
• a third integrated circuit provided internal to the eyewear frame;
• and
• at least one flexible printed circuit board internal to the eyewear frame, at least a portion of the at least one flexible printed circuit board being internal to at least the first side piece, and at least another portion of the at least one flexible printed circuit board extending to another portion of the eyewear frame to electrically connect with at least the third integrated circuit.
