Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to optical devices. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to optical devices with one or more optical component circuits. The optical devices including one or more optical component circuits prevent the user from exposure to light when a conductive pathway is interrupted via aperture breakage, for example, from the user dropping the substrate, or from the user dropping the optical device. The conductive pathway allows for current to flow from a power source through the apertures and to one or more light sources and, in some embodiments, one or more light detectors. Aperture breakage resulting in the interruption of the conductive pathway prevents current from being provided to the one or more light sources and/or one or more light detectors to prevent (e.g., automatically prevent) light exposure to the user.
