Definitions
- the present invention relates to the production of transparent elements incorporating optical functions. It applies in particular to the production of ophthalmic lenses having various optical properties.
- Corrective ametropic lenses are traditionally manufactured by forming a transparent material of refractive index higher than air.
- the shape of the glasses is chosen so that the refraction at the interfaces between the material and the air causes an appropriate focus on the retina of the wearer.
- the glass is generally cut to fit a frame, with proper positioning relative to the pupil of the corrected eye.
- photochromic lenses Another field of application of the invention is that of photochromic lenses.
- the structure of such a glass incorporates a layer whose light absorption spectrum depends on the light received.
- the photochromic dye of this layer is usually solid, although it is known that liquids or gels have superior properties, especially in terms of speed of response to changes in brightness.
- the photosensitive dye is a liquid or a gel
- spacers being provided in the thickness of the layer to define the volume occupied by the dye between the adjacent transparent layers, with a sealed barrier on the periphery of this volume.
- Such a glass is manufactured for a specific eyeglass frame. It is not possible to cut it to fit another mount. It is also difficult to adapt to the ametropia of an eye to correct.
- ophthalmic lenses to which the invention can be applied are active systems, in which a variation of an optical property results from an electrical stimulus. This is the case of electrochromic glasses, or even glasses with adjustable refractive properties (see for example US-A-5,359,444 or WO 03/077012). These techniques generally use liquid crystals or electrochemical systems.
- An object of the present invention is to meet this need. Another goal is that the optical element is industrializable in good conditions.
- the invention thus proposes a method of producing a transparent optical element, comprising the following steps: - producing an optical component having at least one transparent set of cells juxtaposed parallel to a surface of the component, each cell being hermetically closed and containing a substance with optical property; and
- the cells may be filled with various substances chosen for their optical properties, for example related to their refractive index, their light absorption or polarization capacity, their response to electrical or light stimuli, etc.
- the structure is therefore suitable for many applications, particularly those involving advanced optical functions. It implies a discretization by pixels of the surface of the optical element, which offers a great flexibility in the design but also in the implementation of the element.
- the optical component can be cut into desired peripheral shapes, allowing its integration and its adaptation to various support brackets such as, for example, a mount or a helmet.
- the method may also include, without affecting the integrity of the structure, a step of drilling through the optical component, for fixing the optical element on its support.
- the layer formed by the set of cells advantageously has a height less than 100 microns. According to various embodiments of the invention, this height is preferably between
- 10 ⁇ m and 50 ⁇ m or between 1 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m. In particular, it may be equal to about 5 ⁇ m.
- the set of juxtaposed cells is preferably configured so that the filling factor ⁇ , defined as the area occupied by the cells filled with the substance, per unit area of the component, is greater than 90%.
- the cells of the set occupy at least 90% of the surface of the component, at least in a region of the component provided with the set of cells.
- the filling factor is between 90% and 99.5% inclusive, and even more preferably the filling factor is between 96% and 98.5% inclusive.
- the geometry of the cell network is characterized by dimensional parameters which can generally be reduced to the dimensions of the cells parallel to the surface of the optical component, to their height corresponding to the height h of the walls which separate them, and to the thickness d of these walls, measured parallel to the surface of the component.
- the main source of defects in a network of cells may be the network of walls. These walls are at the origin of a lack of transparency of the optical component. In the sense of the invention, means that an optical component is transparent when the observation of an image through this optical component is perceived without significant loss of contrast, that is to say when the formation of an image through the optical component is obtained without disturbing the quality of the image. Thus, the walls separating the cells of the optical component interact with the light, diffracting it.
- diffraction is defined as the scattering phenomenon of light observed when a light wave is materially limited ("Optics - Foundation and applications” - JP Pérez - Dunod - 7 th edition - Paris 2004 - Page 262).
- the energy of light that encounters a wall is concentrated in a solid angle.
- the perception of a light point is no longer a point through an optical component that includes such walls.
- This microscopic diffraction is translated macroscopically by diffusion.
- This macroscopic diffusion, or incoherent scattering results in a milky effect of the pixellated structure of the optical component, and thus in a loss of contrast of an image observed through the structure.
- This loss of contrast is comparable to a loss of transparency, as defined above.
- Such a macroscopic diffusion effect is not acceptable for an optical element made from a pixellated optical component within the meaning of the invention, in particular for an ophthalmic lens which must be transparent and have no cosmetic defects that may interfere with vision of the wearer of this lens.
- Proper sizing of the cells can reduce the energy diffracted by the walls.
- the cells can be given dimensions greater than 1 ⁇ m parallel to the surface of the component.
- these cell dimensions parallel to the surface of the component may be between 5 ⁇ m and 100 ⁇ m.
- the cells may have a size of between 10 microns and 40 microns.
- the cells will preferably be separated by walls with a thickness of between 0.10 ⁇ m and 5 ⁇ m.
- the walls have a thickness of between 0.10 ⁇ m and 5 ⁇ m, and preferably between 0.10 ⁇ m and 0.35 ⁇ m, so that they also hardly produce undesirable diffractive effects in the visible spectrum.
- Such thin walls can provide a very high filling factor ⁇ of the optical surface by the substance with interesting otic property.
- the walls have a thickness of between 0.40 ⁇ m and 2.00 ⁇ m. This thickness may be equal to 1.00 microns, for example.
- the walls have a thickness of between 2.00 ⁇ m and 3.5 ⁇ m, which may be, for example, equal to 3.0 ⁇ m.
- the material constituting the walls of the cells will be chosen in such a way that the cells will no longer be discernible from the filling material of said cells. By non-discernible, we mean without visible diffusion, without visible diffraction, and without parasitic reflections. In particular, this can be achieved practically by a proper adjustment of the refractive index and absorption.
- the set of cells can be formed directly on a rigid transparent support, or within a flexible transparent film then transferred to a rigid transparent support.
- Said rigid transparent support may be convex, concave, or plane on the side receiving all of the cells.
- the substance with optical property contained in at least some of the cells is in the form of a liquid or a gel.
- Said substance may in particular have at least one of the optical properties chosen from among the coloration, the photochromism, the polarization and the refractive index.
- It may especially be in the form of a liquid or a gel and incorporate a photochromic dye, which makes it possible to conveniently produce a very fast-response photochromic element.
- different cells of the optical component should contain substances of different refractive index.
- the refractive index will typically be adapted to vary along the surface of the component according to the estimated ametropia of an eye to be corrected.
- the cells of the optical component will include in particular liquid crystals associated or not with dyes.
- An object of the present invention is also a method of producing an optical component as defined above, which comprises the formation on a substrate of a network of walls for delimiting the cells parallel to said surface of the component, a collective filling or individual cells with the substance with optical property in the form of liquid or gel, and closing the cells on their side opposite to the substrate.
- the set of cells of the optical component may include several groups of cells containing different substances. Similarly, each cell may be filled with a substance having one or more optical properties as described above. It is also possible to stack several sets of cells on the thickness of the component. In this embodiment, the sets of cells may have identical or different properties within each layer, or the cells within each set of cells may also have different optical properties. Thus, it is possible to envisage having a layer in which the set of cells contains a substance making it possible to obtain a variation of the refractive index and another layer where the set of cells contains a substance with photochromic property. .

- FIG. 2 is a front view of an optical element obtained from this optical component;
- FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic sectional view of an optical component according to the invention.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrams showing two types of mesh used to arrange the cells in an optical component according to the invention;
- - Figures 6 and 7 are schematic sectional views showing this optical component in two stages of manufacture;
- FIG. 8 is a schematic sectional view illustrating another method of manufacturing an optical component according to the invention.
- the optical component 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a spectacle lens blank.
- a spectacle lens includes an ophthalmic lens.
- ophthalmic lens lenses adapted to a spectacle frame to protect the eye and / or correct vision, these lenses being selected from afocal lenses, unifocal, bifocal, trifocal and progressive.
- ophthalmic optics is a preferred field of application of the invention, it will be understood that this invention is applicable to transparent optical elements of other kinds, such as for example lenses for optical instruments, filters, lenses optical sights, eye visors, optics of lighting devices, etc.
- ophthalmic optics include ophthalmic lenses, but also contact lenses and ocular implants.
- FIG. 2 shows a spectacle lens 11 obtained by cutting out the blank 10 according to a predefined contour, represented in broken lines in FIG. 1. This outline is a priori arbitrary, since it falls within the scope of FIG. roughing. Blanks manufactured in series are thus usable to obtain lenses adaptable to a wide variety of spectacle frames.
- the edge of the cut glass can easily be cut out, in a conventional manner, to give it a shape adapted to the setting and the method of fixing the glass on this frame and / or for aesthetic reasons. It is also possible to drill holes 14, for example to receive screws for fixing it on the frame.
- the general shape of the blank 10 may be in accordance with industry standards, for example with a circular contour of 60 mm diameter, a convex front face 12 and a concave rear face 13 (Figure 3). Traditional tools for cutting, trimming and drilling can thus be used to obtain the glass 11 from the blank 10.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 a partial tearing of the surface layers reveals the pixellated structure of the blank 10 and the glass 11.
- This structure consists of an array of cells or microcuvettes 15 formed in a layer 17 of the transparent component (FIG. ).
- the dimensions of this layer 17 and cells 15 have been exaggerated relative to those of the blank 10 and its substrate 16 to facilitate reading of the drawing.
- the lateral dimensions D of the cells 15 are greater than one micron to prevent diffraction phenomena in the visible spectrum. In practice, these dimensions are between 10 microns and 100 microns. As a result, the cell network is achievable with well-mastered technologies in the field of microelectronics or micromechanical devices.
- the height h of the layer 17 which incorporates the network of cells 15 is preferably less than 100 ⁇ m, and more preferably between 1 ⁇ m and 10 ⁇ m inclusive.
- this height h is approximately 5 ⁇ m.
- the walls 18 separating the cells 15 ensure their mutual sealing. They have a thickness d of between 0.10 ⁇ m and 5.00 ⁇ m inclusive, making it possible in particular to obtain a high filling factor of the optical component. This wall thickness may be equal, for example, to about 0.35 microns.
- a high filling factor provides a good efficiency of the desired optical function, provided by the substance contained in the cells 15. This filling factor is between 90% and 99.5% inclusive, advantageously between 96% and 98.5%. % included.
- a judicious combination of the lateral dimension (D) parameters of the cells and the thickness (d) and height (h) of the walls separating the cells makes it possible to obtain an optical component having a high filling ratio, which is not visible according to of the optical property or properties of the substances contained in said cells.
- the hexagonal or honeycomb type mesh according to FIG. 5 is a preferred arrangement because it optimizes the mechanical strength of the cell array for a given aspect ratio. Nevertheless, in the context of the invention all the possibilities of meshing respecting a crystalline geometry are conceivable. Thus a mesh of rectangular geometry, triangular, or octagonal is achievable. In the context of the invention, it is also possible to have a combination of different geometrical shapes of meshes to form the network of cells, while respecting the dimensions of the cells as defined above.
- the layer 17 incorporating the cell network 15 may be covered by a number of additional layers 19, 20 ( Figure 3), as is usual in ophthalmic optics. These layers have for example functions of impact resistance, scratch resistance, coloring, anti-reflection, antifouling, etc.
- the layer 17 incorporating the cell network is placed immediately above the transparent substrate 16, but it will be understood that one or more intermediate layers may be between them, such as layers having resistance functions. shock, scratch resistance, staining.
- the stack of layers can comprise in particular a layer of cell arrays containing a substance for imparting to the element some photochromic functions, another layer making it possible to confer on the element functions of variations. of refractive index.
- the stack of layers can also be alternated with additional layers as previously described.
- the optical component may comprise an array of cells in which each cell is filled with a substance having one or more optical properties, or in which the set of cells includes several groups of cells containing different substances.
- the optical component may also consist of a stack comprising at least two cell assembly layers, each set of cells having identical optical properties, or each set of cells having different optical properties, or the cells within each cell. set of cells with different optical properties.
- the transparent substrate 16 may be in glass or in different polymer materials commonly used in ophthalmic optics.
- the layer 17 incorporating the network of cells is preferably located on its convex front face 12, the concave rear face 13 remaining free to be optionally shaped by machining and polishing if necessary.
- the transparent optical element is a corrective glass
- the ametropia correction can be carried out by spatially modulating the refractive index of the substances contained in the cells 15, which makes it possible to dispense with retouching the rear face, and therefore have more flexibility in the design and / or implementation of the different layers and coatings to be provided with the glass.
- the optical component can also be located on the concave face of a lens. Of course, the optical component can also be integrated on a flat optical element.
- Figures 6 and 7 illustrate a first way of making the array of cells on the substrate 16.
- the technique here is similar to those used to make electrophoretic display devices. Such techniques are described, for example, in the documents WO 00/77570, WO 02/01281, US 2002/0176963, US Pat. No. 6,327,072 or US Pat. No. 6,597,340.
- the cell network is also feasible using manufacturing methods, resulting from microelectronics, well known by those skilled in the art. Nonlimiting examples include processes such as hot printing, hot embossing, photolithography (hard, soft, positive, negative), microdeposition such as micro-contact printing, screen printing, or still inkjet printing.
- a film of a monomer solution that is polymerizable under the action of a radiation for example ultraviolet radiation
- a radiation for example ultraviolet radiation
- This film is subjected to ultraviolet radiation through a mask which occults squares or hexagons distributed in a network and corresponding to the positions of the microcuvettes 15.
- the selective polymerization leaves in place the walls 18 erected above a support layer 21.
- the monomer solution is then evacuated and the component is in the state shown in FIG.
- a photolithography technique To obtain a similar structure, another possibility is to use a photolithography technique.
- a layer of material for example polymer
- This layer is then deposited with a photoresist film which is exposed through a mask in a grid pattern.
- the unexposed areas are removed at the development of the photoresist to leave a mask aligned with the positions of the walls, through which the layer of material is subjected to anisotropic etching.
- This etching, which forms the microcuvettes 15 is continued to the desired depth, after which the mask is eliminated by etching.
- the microcups 15 are filled with the substance with optical property, in the state of liquid or gel.
- a prior treatment of the front face of the component may optionally be applied to facilitate the wetting of the surface material of the walls and the bottom of the microcups.
- the solution or suspension forming the substance with optical property can be the same for all the microcuvettes of the network, in which case it can be introduced simply by immersion of the component in a suitable bath, by a method of screen-printing type, by a coating process. centrifugation (spin process), by a process of spreading the substance using a roller or a squeegee, or by a spray process. It can also be injected locally into individual microcups using an inkjet head. This latter method will typically be retained when the substance with optical property is differentiated from one microcuvette to another, several projection heads being moved along the surface to successively fill the microcuvettes.
- the microcuvettes are formed by selective etching
- another possibility is to first dig a group of microcups, to fill them collectively with a first substance and then to close, the rest of the surface of the remaining component hidden during these operations.
- the selective etching is then repeated through a resist mask covering at least the already filled microcuvette areas in addition to the wall zones, and the new microcups are filled with a different substance and then sealed. This process may be repeated one or more times if it is desired to dispense differentiated substances along the surface of the component.
- a glued, heat-welded or hot-rolled plastic film is applied to the top of the walls 18. It is also possible to deposit on the zone to be sealed a polymerizable material in solution which is immiscible with the substance with optical property contained in the microcuvettes, then make polymerize this material, for example hot or under irradiation.
- the component can receive the additional layers or coatings 19, 20 to complete its manufacture.
- Components of this type are mass-produced and then stored for later retrieval and individual cutting according to a customer's needs.
- a solidification treatment for example a heating and / or irradiation sequence, may be applied at a stage appropriate to the from the moment the substance has been deposited.
- the optical component consisting of a network of microcuvettes 25 is constructed in the form of a film
- This film 27 is achievable by techniques similar to those previously described. In this case the film 27 is achievable on a flat support and non-convex or concave.
- the film 27 is for example manufactured industrially over a relatively large area, to save on the group execution of the process steps, then cut to the appropriate dimensions to be carried on the substrate 16 of a blank. This transfer can be carried out by bonding the flexible film, by thermoforming the film, or even by a physical phenomenon of vacuum adhesion. The film 27 may then receive various coatings, as in the previous case, or be transferred to the substrate 16 itself coated with one or more additional layers as described above.
- the optical property of the substance introduced into the microcups 15 relates to its refractive index.
- the refractive index of the substance is modulated along the surface of the component to obtain a corrective lens.
- the modulation can be carried out by introducing substances of different indices during the manufacture of the microcuvette network 15.
- the modulation can be carried out by introducing into the microcups a substance whose refractive index can be adjusted later under irradiation.
- the marking of the corrective optical function is then performed by exposing the blank 10 or the glass 1 1 to light whose energy varies along the surface to obtain the desired index profile in order to correct the vision. 'a patient.
- This light is typically that produced by a laser, the writing equipment being similar to that used to burn CDROMs or other optical memory media.
- the more or less large exposure of the photosensitive substance may result from a modulation of the laser power and / or the choice of the exposure time.
- mesoporous materials or liquid crystals can be fixed by a polymerization reaction, for example induced by irradiation.
- a polymerization reaction for example induced by irradiation.
- the control of the refractive index of the material is done through the variation of its porosity.
- photopolymers whose well-known property is to change the refractive index during the irradiation-induced polymerization reaction. These index changes are due to a change in the density of the material and a change in the chemical structure. Photopolymers which will undergo only a very small volume change during the polymerization reaction will preferably be used.
- the selective polymerization of the solution or suspension is carried out in the presence of radiation spatially differentiated with respect to the surface of the component, in order to obtain the desired modulation of index.
- This modulation is determined beforehand according to the estimated ametropia of the eye of a patient to be corrected.
- the substance introduced in the form of liquid or gel in the microcups has a photochromic property.
- photochromic compounds containing a central unit such as a spirooxazine, spiroindoline [2,3 '] benzoxazine, chromene, spiroxazine homoazaadamantane, spirofluorene (2H) nucleus benzopyran, naphtho [2,1-b] pyran as described in particular in the patent applications and patents FR 2763070, EP 0676401, EP 0489655, EP 0653428, EP 0407237, FR 2718447, US 6,281, 366 or EP 1204714.
