Multiple energization elements in stacked integrated component devices

摘要

This invention discloses a device comprising multiple functional layers with multiple energization elements formed on substrates, wherein at least one functional layer comprises an electrical energy source. In some embodiments, the present invention includes a component for incorporation into ophthalmic lenses that has been formed by the stacking of multiple functionalized layers.

主权项

1. A method of operating an ophthalmic lens, the method comprising:
obtaining an ophthalmic lens including powered components comprising a stacked integrated component device with multiple energization elements comprising:
a first layer comprising a first surface, anda second layer comprising a second surface,wherein at least a portion of the first layer lays above at least a portion of the second layer such that they partially overlap and form a three dimensional structure configured to match a profile of the ophthalmic lens;at least one electrical connection between a first electrical contact on the first surface and a second electrical contact on the second surface;at least one electrical transistor, wherein the at least one electrical transistor is located within the stacked integrated component device;at least a first and a second discrete energization element located within at least one of the first layer and the second layer,wherein the first discrete energization element generates a first raw battery power and the second discrete energization element generates a second raw battery power; anda power management unit electrically connected to the first and the second discrete energization elements, wherein the power management unit receives the first raw battery power from the first discrete energization element and the second raw battery power from the second discrete energization element; performing a first measurement with the power management unit upon the first raw battery power from the first discrete energization element; and performing a second measurement with the power management unit upon the second raw battery power from the second discrete energization element.
