Methods are provided for making layers with nano- and micro-patterned topographies by laser action or inkjet printing on a first surface. These topographies have a periodicity of 5 nm to 500 &#x3bc;m in a first direction in the plane of the first surface. These layers can be used as anisotropically patterned alignment layers in electro-optical devices and generate an orientational order of at least 0.30.

Liquid crystal alignment layers and method of fabrication

A lens includes a lens body, and an electro-active section (liquid crystals and a diffraction section) that is provided to a region of part of the lens body. The lens includes a pair of electrodes that are embedded in the lens body, that are electrically connected to a focal length modification section, that extend downward from an upper side end of the lens body, and that are disposed substantially parallel to each other spaced apart in a width direction orthogonal to an up-down direction of the lens body. Lower ends of the pair of electrodes are disposed spaced apart from the electro-active section in the up-down direction of the lens body.

Lens, lens blank, and eyewear

Disclosed herein are devices and methods for the design and manufacturing of electronic eyeglasses and associated components thereof. Electronic eyeglasses consist of electro-active lenses, receiving electrical signals that turn them on and off from an electronic control module. The electronic control module is embedded within a temple of the eyeglass frame, and is powered by a removable power source pack residing at a temple tip through a flexible cable. Various methods describe the interconnection schemes between the components of the electronic eyeglasses.

Electronic eyeglasses and methods of manufacturing

A first method is provided that comprises the steps of: measuring a first surface disposed on a first substrate, measuring a second surface disposed on a second substrate, calculating a variable gap between the first surface and the second surface, depositing a variable amount of adhesive on the first surface of the first substrate based at least in part on the calculation of the variable gap, and placing the second substrate over the first substrate, wherein the adhesive is disposed between the first surface of the first substrate and the second surface of the second substrate.
