BRIGHTNESS CONTROL FOR AN AUGMENTED REALITY EYE-MOUNTED DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A system for controlling a brightness of an augmented reality eye-mounted display, the system comprising:
- an eye-mounted display comprising a contact lens containing a femtoprojector, the femtoprojector projecting an augmented reality image to a user'"'"'s retina, the augmented reality image overlaid on an external scene viewed by the user through the contact lens;
a photodetector that detects a brightness level of the external scene; and
a controller that adjusts a brightness level of the augmented reality image based on the brightness level of the external scene.

Abstract
A system controls a brightness of an augmented reality (AR) eye-mounted device. The system includes an eye-mounted display, a photodetector system, and a controller. The eye-mounted display includes a contact lens and a femtoprojector. The femtoprojector is contained in the contact lens and is configured to project an AR image to a user'"'"'s retina. The AR image is overlaid on an external scene viewed by the user through the contact lens. The photodetector system detects a brightness level of the external scene. Based on the brightness level of the external scene, the controller adjusts a brightness level of the AR image projected to the user'"'"'s retina. In some embodiments, the eye-mounted display receives image data defining the AR image and the controller adjusts a bit depth of the image data based on the brightness level of the AR image.
