This frame comprises: a front piece; a temple piece; a connection part that is elastic and that connects the front piece and the temple piece; and wiring which electrically connects a front piece-side electrical element provided to the front piece and a temple piece-side electrical element provided to the temple piece, and a portion of which is routed through the space between the front piece and the connection part.

Frame and eyewear

This eyewear is provided with: a frame; a lens which is supported by the frame, and which includes an optical characteristic varying portion having an optical characteristic which is varied by means of electric control; a communication portion for receiving information from an external terminal; and a control portion for controlling the optical characteristic varying portion on the basis of the information received from the external terminal.

Eyewear, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

Provided are electronic eyeglasses including a power supply unit that is less likely to be unfastened and is easily attachable and detachable. A power supply unit is detachably attached to an accommodating chamber in a distal end portion of a temple. The power supply unit includes, from a front end toward a rear end, an electrical connection terminal; a first housing unit that holds a first battery, and that has a side surface having an arc shape in a plan view; a narrow portion that is connected to the arc-shaped side surface, and that has a side surface narrower than the side surface; and a second housing unit that has a side surface connected to the narrow side surface, and that hold a second battery. The accommodating chamber has a protruding portion that is elastically deformed so as to be fitted to the narrow portion of the power supply unit.

Electronic eyeglasses

Eyewear having: an optical module; an input unit; a sensing unit; a storage unit that stores at least conditions that change optical properties of the optical module; and a control unit that performs electric control of the optical module, in accordance with a set mode, by using electric control. The set modes include: a first mode in which the control unit electrically controls the optical module on the basis of a condition stored in the storage unit and a detection value for the sensing unit; and a second mode in which the control unit electrically controls the optical module on the basis of instructions received by the input unit. The conditions stored in the storage unit are updated on the basis of the detection value for the sensing unit when the input unit has received an instruction in the second mode.

Eyewear

Provided is eyewear comprising a front piece that has a metallic wraparound end piece and a non-metallic hinge member that constitutes a hinge portion together with the wraparound end piece. Thereby eyewear that is comfortable to wear and has a metallic front piece is provided.

This lens unit comprises: a lens having a liquid crystal lens; a rim part that covers the peripheral edge section of the lens; a control unit that controls the liquid crystal lens; a conductive part that electrically connects the control unit and an electrode end section of the liquid crystal lens which is exposed at the peripheral edge section of the lens, and that is disposed between the rim part and the peripheral edge section of the lens; and a knob part that protrudes from the lens or rim part.

Lens unit

An eyeglasses case has a case main body having an eyeglasses accommodating portion in which electronic eyeglasses are accommodated, and a charger accommodating portion that is provided so as to be sectioned off from the eyeglasses accommodating portion and in which a charger of the electronic eyeglasses is accommodated. Further, the eyeglasses case has a cover portion that, by being engaged with the case main body, forms a space in which the electronic eyeglasses and the charger are accommodated between the cover portion and the case main body, and the cover portion has a displacement restricting portion that restricts movement of the charger within the charger accommodating portion.

Eyewear case

This frame component constituting a frame of eyewear is provided with: a housing having a first surface that has a first recess portion formed therein, and a first hole that opens to the first recess portion; a first device disposed in the first recess portion; and a fastening member inserted into the first hole and fixing the first device to the housing. Through this configuration, a frame component is provided which can reduce the thickness dimension of a portion in which a device is provided.

Frame component, temple, frame, and eyewear

This eyewear is provided with: a lens which has an electric element, an electrode of the electric element being disposed at an edge of the lens; a frame which has a control unit for controlling the electric element, and which holds the lens; a conductive wire which has a long conductor surface that extends along and facing such edge, and which is connected to the control unit; and a conductive piece which extends along and facing such edge and which comes into contact with the electrode and the conductor surface.

Provided is a sensor module that includes: a casing; a contacted part that is disposed so that at least a part thereof is exposed to the outside of the casing and that has conductivity; and a detection part that has an electrostatic capacitance type detection pad and that is disposed inside the casing. The detection part further includes a conductive plate provided so as to correspond to the detection region of the detection pad, the contacted part being electrically connected to the conductive plate. This configuration makes it possible to provide a sensor module that is highly sensitive to contact with an object, and that prevents damage to the detection pad caused by contact with the object.
