Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for embedding a HOE in an eyeglass lens are described. A method of embedding a HOE in an eyeglass lens includes forming a world-side portion of the eyeglass lens, forming an eye-side portion of the eyeglass lens, physically coupling the eye-side portion of the eyeglass lens to the HOE with a low-temperature optically clear adhesive (“LT-OCA”), and physically coupling the world-side portion of the eyeglass lens to the HOE with LT-OCA. Forming the lens portions may include high-temperature processes, and the HOE may not be damaged by the high-temperature processes since the high-temperature processes may be performed on the lens portions prior to coupling the lens portions to the HOE.
Claims19
An eyeglass lens for use in a wearable heads-up display, the eyeglass lens comprising:
- a lens assembly comprising
- a world-side lens portion;
- a holographic optical element (“HOE”) positioned within the lens assembly in between the eye-side lens portion and the world-side lens portion;
- a first low-temperature optically clear adhesive (“LT-OCA”) layer disposed between the HOE and the eye-side lens;
- and
- a second LT-OCA layer disposed between the HOE and the world-side lens portion.
