Abstract

Electronic spectacles include a spectacle frame; lenses having electric elements; a control unit that generates electric signals for driving the electric elements of the lenses; electric connectors that transmit the signals from the control unit to wiring connector pads; and the electric connector have one end connected to a control unit for controlling the electric element and an another end connected to lens electrode pads. The lens has an inverted V-shaped protrusion.

Claims (12)

1. Electronic spectacles in which a lens comprising an electric element is set in a spectacle frame,

the lens having an inverted V-shaped protrusion at an outer sidewall of the lens,

lens electrode pads exposed on the inverted V-shaped protrusion, the lens electrode pads applying a voltage to the electric element,

an electric connector having a first end connected to a control unit for controlling the electric element and a second end connected to the lens electrode pads.

2. The electronic spectacles according to claim 1 , wherein the second end of the electric connector is provided at the inside of a rim.

3. The electronic spectacles according to claim 2 , wherein wiring electrode pads are set on the second end of the electric connector provided at the inside of the rim.

4. The electronic spectacles according to claim 3 , wherein a rubber member is interposed between the lens electrode pads and the wiring electrode pads.

5. The electronic spectacles according to claim 4 , wherein the rubber member is a conductive rubber.

6. The electronic spectacles according to claim 5 , wherein the rubber member is an anisotropic conductive rubber.

7. The electronic spectacles according to claim 2 , wherein the lens electrode pads are in a recess provided on the inverted V-shaped protrusion.

8. The electronic spectacles according to claim 7 , wherein the recess is formed at a part of two planes which make up the inverted V-shaped protrusion.

9. The electronic spectacles according to claim 7 , wherein the recess is formed on one of two planes which constitute the inverted V-shaped protrusion.
