Variable Resolution Eye Mounted Displays
First Claim
1. An eye mounted display, comprised of multiple sub-displays, in which each sub display is formed by a flat multi-pixel light emitting display element, followed by a first lens element, followed by a second lens element, and optionally followed by additional lens elements, all parallel to the surface of the eye mounted display.

Abstract
A display device (e.g., in a contact lens) is mounted on the eye. The eye mounted display contains multiple sub-displays, each of which projects light to different retinal positions within a portion of the retina corresponding to the sub-display. Additionally, a “locally uniform resolution” mapping may be used to model the variable resolution of the eye. Accordingly, various aspects of the display device may be based on the locally uniform resolution mapping. For example, the light emitted from the sub-displays may be based on the locally uniform resolution mapping.

9. An eye mounted display device comprised of multiple sub-displays, having different sub-displays displaying to different ranges of visual eccentricities magnifying the size of their pixels displayed such that the amount of magnification approximately follows the locally uniform resolution mapping.
- 10. An eye mounted display, comprised of multiple sub-displays, whose combined projected images on the retina completely cover the retina out to an outer edge, in which the shape of the pixel containing region of the individual sub-displays light emitting element is either a fixed shape that can tile the plane, or similar to the distorted version of that shape produced by mapping that shape by the portion of the locally uniform resolution mapping that applies to the region of the retina that a particular sub-display displays to, which is a shape known to be able to tile a portion of the surface of a sphere.
