Abstract

Significantly faster state transitioning time between the optimal optical density for viewing 2D Movies as 3D movies through Continuous Adjustable 3Deeps Filter Spectacles can be achieved by using multiple layers (multi-layer) of electronically controlled variable tint materials to fabricate the right and left lenses of the 3Deeps spectacles. The use of multi-layered lenses may result in as much as a 50% decrease in transition time between states. The invention also relates to Multi-Use Electronically Controlled Continuous Adjustable 3Deeps Filter Spectacles that house within a single spectacle frame several layers of optoelectronic material in which each layer of electronically controlled relates to a different method of viewing.

Claims (5)

1. Multi-use, electronically controlled spectacles, comprising

a spectacle frame;

optoelectronic lenses housed in the frame, each of the lenses having multiple layers of optoelectronic material; and

a control unit housed in the frame, the control unit controlling each of the layers in the lenses such that the spectacles have multiple uses.

2. The spectacles of claim 1 , wherein the multiple uses are two or more uses selected from the group consisting of 3D movies, anaglyph 3D moves, Intru 3D 3D movies, optimum emissive colors, polarized lenses, vision correction, shutter glasses, sunglasses, and optical property of light.
