Abstract
This invention discloses methods and apparatus to form organic semiconductor transistors upon three-dimensionally formed insert devices. In some embodiments, the present invention includes incorporating the three-dimensional surfaces with organic semiconductor-based thin film transistors, electrical interconnects, and energization elements into an insert for incorporation into ophthalmic lenses. In some embodiments, the formed insert may be directly used as an ophthalmic device or incorporated into an ophthalmic device.
Claims21
An ophthalmic lens comprising:
- a three dimensionally formed ophthalmic insert device encapsulated within the ophthalmic lens;
- an energization element fixedly attached to the ophthalmic insert device;
- a thin film transistor comprising an organic semiconductor layer also fixedly attached to the ophthalmic insert device;
- and
- a conductive trace providing electrical communication between the energization element and the thin film transistor.
An insert device for inclusion within an ophthalmic lens comprising:
- an energization element, at least a first conductive trace and a thin film transistor comprising an organic semiconductor layer.
