Ophthalmic display
View Patent ↗The invention relates to an ophthalmic display comprising: a generator system for generating light beams; an optical imager for shaping light beams emitted by a miniature screen of said light beam generator system, which beams are introduced into said imager via an inlet face, and for directing said beams towards the eye of a wearer in order to enable an image to be viewed; an adapter in a reference position relative to said imager; and a connection arrangement carried by said light beam generator system for connection to said adapter, the connection between said system and said adapter being releasable. According to the invention, said adapter is constituted by at least two magnets for co-operating by the magnetic effect and by interengagement with at least two magnets carried by said connection arrangement.
1. An ophthalmic display comprising:
a generator system for generating light beams;
an optical imager for shaping light beams emitted by a miniature screen of said light beam generator system, which beams are introduced into said imager via an inlet face, and for directing said beams towards the eye of a wearer in order to enable an image to be viewed;
an adapter in a reference position relative to said imager; and
a connection arrangement carried by said light beam generator system for connection to said adapter, the connection between said system and said adapter being releasable;
wherein said adapter is constituted by at least two magnets for co-operating by the magnetic effect and by interengagement with at least two magnets carried by said connection arrangement.
2. A display according to claim 1 , wherein magnets of a first type are cylindrical, each presenting an end with a determined pole.
3. A display according to claim 2 , wherein magnets of a second type for co-operating with said magnets of the first type each comprise a tubular wall and presents at one end an opening, and at an opposite end a closed end wall, each magnet of the second type being designed to receive said end of a magnet of the first type engaged in said opening.
4. A display according to claim 3 , wherein said end wall of a magnet of the second type is of polarity different from the polarity of said end of a magnet of the first type.
5. A display according to claim 3 , wherein said tubular wall of a magnet of the second type is identical in polarity to the polarity of said end of a magnet of the first type.
6. A display according to claim 2 , wherein said adapter is made up of magnets of the first type and said connection arrangement is made up of magnets of the second type.
7. A display according to claim 1 , wherein said imager is integrated in a lens.
8. A display according to claim 7 , wherein said magnets of the adapter are adhesively bonded to the surface of said lens.
9. A display according to claim 7 , wherein said magnets of the adapter are partially integrated in said lens.
