Abstract

The invention relates to an ophthalmological display comprising an optical imager ( 10 ) for shaping light beams emitted by an optical element of a light beam generator system ( 20 ) and directing them towards the eye (O) of the wearer as to enable information content (I) to be viewed, said display being fitted with a device for adjusting focusing by adjusting the length of said light beams between said element and the imager. According to the invention, the generator system comprises a stationary part ( 21 ) referred to as a stationary plate, to which said optical element is connected by a moving connection ( 22 ) that is adjustable by an actuator device.

Claims (13)

1. An ophthalmological display comprising:

an optical imager for shaping light beams emitted by an optical element of a light beam generator system and for directing the beams towards an eye of a wearer so as to enable information content to be viewed, the display being fitted with a focus adjustment device for adjusting the length of said light beams between said element and the imager, said imager being integrated in a lens for mounting in a frame for eyeglasses,

wherein said adjustment device is internal to a housing containing said light beam generator system, and in that said generator system includes a stationary part referred to as a stationary plate, having connected thereto said optical element, via a moving connection that is an elastically-deformable element and is adjustable by an actuator device.

2. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said optical element is secured to a second plate connected to the stationary first plate by said moving connection.

3. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said actuator device is external to said housing.

4. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said elastically-deformable element is a deformable fork.

5. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said actuator device is a knob provided with an eccentric cylinder, said knob being mounted to turn relative to a stationary portion of the housing and said eccentric cylinder being in abutment against said second plate.

6. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said actuator device is a screw screwed into a stationary portion of the housing and in abutment against said second plate.

7. A display according to claim 1 , wherein an adapter is in a reference position relative to the imager and receives said generator system together with its focus adjustment device by engagement of at least two studs.

8. A display according to claim 7 , wherein the connection between said system and said adapter ( 13 ) is releasable.

9. A display according to the claim 1 , wherein said adapter is secured to said stationary plate.

10. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said optical element is a miniature screen.

11. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said stationary plate carries an associated optical component.
