In this embodiment, the connecting portion 15 may be a connecting structure such as a hinge.

Please refer to FIG. 3 together. The display module 30 is disposed in at least one of the lenses 20. The display module 30 is formed by arranging a plurality of display units 31 to form a display matrix, and then forms the display module 30.

4 and FIG. 5 together, each display unit 31 includes a substrate (base material) 311, at least one Micro LED module 313, a light sensor 315, and at least one first photoelectric Transformation module 317. In this embodiment, the substrate 311 refers to a target substrate (eg, a non-homogeneous substrate) for receiving a printable structure such as a semiconductor element. The substrate 311 is transparent including semi-transparent, almost transparent, and mostly transparent. In some embodiments, the material of the substrate 311 may be plastic, glass, metal, or sapphire.

The Micro LED modules 313 are all disposed on the substrate 311. In this embodiment, each display unit 31 includes four Micro LED modules 313. The four Micro LED modules 313 are all disposed on the edge of the substrate 311. Specifically in this embodiment, the four Micro LED modules 313 are respectively disposed on the four corners of the substrate 311. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the Micro LED modules 313 in each display unit 31 is not limited to four, and the specific number can be adjusted according to specific requirements.

Each Micro LED module 313 includes at least three micro LEDs. For example, in this embodiment, each of the Micro LED modules 313 includes three adjacently arranged micro LEDs. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the micro LEDs in each of the Micro LED modules 313 is not limited to three, and the specific number can be adjusted according to user needs.

In this embodiment, the at least three micro LEDs are arranged adjacent to each other in a parallel arrangement, a diamond arrangement, a square arrangement, or a diamond shape. Each micro-LED is elongated and emits light mainly in the axial direction. Understandably, in one of the embodiments, each of the Micro LED modules 313 can emit three primary colors of light. That is to say, the three micro LEDs in each of the Micro LED modules 313 can respectively emit light of different primary colors. Specifically, each of the Micro LED modules 313 includes at least a micro LED 313R that can emit red light (R), an LED 313G that can emit green light (G), and a micro LED 313B that can emit blue light (B).

It is understandable that each Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 can emit three primary colors of light. Therefore, each Micro LED module 313 can emit visible light, such as white light. Therefore, when the Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 emits visible light, the entire display unit 31 has a display function. Of course, each Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 can also emit invisible light, such as infrared light, through the control of the filter control module 70. Therefore, the Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 can also be used as an infrared light source to irradiate the retina of the user's eyes, so that the Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 also has a user's eye scanning function.

Of course, in other embodiments, the number of the micro LEDs in each of the Micro LED modules 313 is not limited to three, and the specific number can be adjusted according to user needs.

In this embodiment, the at least three micro LEDs are arranged adjacent to each other in a parallel arrangement, a diamond arrangement, a square arrangement, or a diamond shape. Each micro-LED is elongated and emits light mainly in the axial direction. It can be understood that in this embodiment, each micro LED in each of the Micro LED modules 313 can emit the same primary color light. That is to say, the three micro LEDs in each of the Micro LED modules 313 can emit light of the same primary color. For example, the Micro LED module 313 disposed in the upper left corner includes three micro LEDs 313R each emitting red light (R). The Micro LED module 313 installed in the lower left corner includes three LEDs 313G each emitting green light (G). The Micro LED module 313 installed in the lower right corner includes three micro LEDs 313B each emitting blue light (B).

Therefore, the plurality of Micro LED modules 313 can respectively emit red light (R), green light (G), and blue light (B), and then pass through the mixed RGB to form white light. Therefore, when the Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 emits visible light, the entire display unit 31 has a display function. Of course, each Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 can also emit invisible light, such as infrared light, through the control of the filter control module 70. Therefore, the Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 can also be used as an infrared light source to irradiate the retina of the user's eyes, so that the Micro LED module 313 in the display unit 31 also has a user's eye scanning function. In this embodiment, the Micro LED module 313 can emit 5%-10% white light and 90% invisible light.

It can be understood that the light sensor 315 is disposed in the middle of the substrate 311 and electrically connected to the processing unit 40 and the battery 50.

In this embodiment, the eye movement may include but is not limited to: eye saccade, gaze, smooth tracking, blinking, and so on.

Understandably, the first photoelectric conversion module 317 is used to convert light energy into electrical energy. In this embodiment, the first photoelectric conversion module 317 is a solar cell. The first photoelectric conversion module 317 is disposed on the substrate 311 without the Micro LED module 313 and other areas of the light sensor 315. In this embodiment, each of the display units 31 includes four first photoelectric conversion modules 317. Each of the first photoelectric conversion modules 317 is respectively disposed between the two Micro LED modules 313, and is disposed around the photo sensor 315.

It is understandable that in this embodiment, in each of the display units 31, the overall area of the Micro LED module 313 is less than 20% of the total area of the substrate 311, and the area of the light sensor 315 Approximately 30% of the total area of the substrate 311, and the overall area of the first photoelectric conversion module 317 accounts for approximately 50% of the total area of the substrate 311.

Understandably, in this embodiment, each of the display units 31 is set to be transparent. In this way, when the display module 30 is installed on the lens 20, the lens 20 can be kept transparent, so that the display unit 31 does not affect the user's line of sight.

In this way, the processing unit 40 can determine the user's operation instruction according to the correspondence between the user's eye position, eye movements, and pre-stored operation instructions. For example, when an operation of eye gazing at a certain area is detected, the processing unit 40 may recognize the gaze operation as selecting the area. When a blink operation is detected, the processing unit 40 may recognize the blink operation as returning to the previous directory. In a specific implementation, the movement of the eyeball can be combined at the same time, and the current position on the display interface can be used as the selected area to determine the user's choice.
