First Claim
1. A visual display system comprising:
- an eye contact lens and visual information display means forming a part of said lens,said visual information display means comprising an opto-electronic display, a programmable electric circuit in communication with the display, an electromagnetic wave antenna and receiver in communication with the programmable electric circuit and a first source of electric energy in communication with the electric circuit and the receiver, whereby electromagnetic waves are converted by the antenna, receiver, electric circuit and display into a visual display viewable by a wearer of the eye contact lens, andincluding means to track eye movement of a wearer of the contact lens comprising lamp means and eye movement detection means both locatable adjacent the wearer'"'"'s eye and means to communicate eye movement information arising from lamp light reflected to the eye movement tracking means to the programmable electric circuit.

Abstract
A contact lens video display system is described which provides a low power, light weight, fully immersive three dimensional visual environment for the wearer. A visual display along with supporting circuitry, battery, and an antenna is formed into a contact lens. The contact lenses are worn on the eyes covering the field of view. Video data is sent to the lens display device from an eyeglass device holding transmitting antenna. The eyeglasses also house eye movement sensors and a backlight for the lens display. The glasses are connected to a data source such as a computer which sends video data to the antenna in the glasses. Furthermore, the eye movement sensors in the glasses send signals to the computer which enables the computer to alter the displayed images in reaction to eye movements and eyelid blinks. The contact lens display device can be connected to any source of video data, thus also enabling the viewing of television, movies, and so on.
