Abstract
Eyewear having radiation monitoring capability is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their exposure to radiation.
Claims26
Eyewear, comprising:
- a frame including at least a front portion, a first side and a second side, the second side being opposite the first side relative to the front portion;
- a radiation detector for sensing an amount of radiation;
- an electronic circuit operatively connected to said radiation detector, said electronic circuit configured to acquire at least radiation information based on at least the amount of radiation sensed by said radiation detector;
- and
- a circuit substrate provided internal to the first side of said frame,
- wherein said radiation detector is mounted to said circuit substrate and provided internal to the first side of said frame, and
- wherein said electronic circuit is also provided internal to the first side of said frame and operatively connected to said circuit substrate.
