Abstract
A vision correction system which is comprised of a LCD, a configurable grid which alters the path of the light coming from the light source, a grid controller, a screen, and a viewer. The grid controller by means of either sensors or input devices determines the correct configuration for the configurable grid such that the grid alters the light emanating from a screen in such a way that it corrects for visual acuity problems possessed by the viewer.
Claims8
A system for correcting vision comprising:
- a LCD panel;
- a backlight proximate to the LCD panel;
- a configurable grid proximate to the LCD panel and opposite the backlight comprised of magnetically sensitive nanoparticles suspended in an optically transparent medium and an array of micro-electromagnets;
- a grid controller;
- and
- a viewer where light emitted from the backlight travels through the configurable grid to the viewer such that when the grid controller instructs the micro-electromagnets in the configurable grid to exert force on the magnetically sensitive nanoparticles, it alters the location and orientation of the magnetically sensitive nanoparticles within the optically transparent medium, which, in turn, modifies the path of the light as it passes through the configurable grid thereby altering the path of the light to the viewer.
