Transparent pixelized optical component with absorbing walls, its method of manufacture and its use in the manufacture of a transparent optical element
First Claim
1. Method for the production of a transparent optical element, the transparent optical element selected from ophthalmic lenses, contact lenses and ocular implants, the method comprising the production of a transparent optical component having at least one set of cells juxtaposed parallel to one surface of the component, each cell being hermetically sealed and containing a substance with an optical property, the cells being separated by absorbing walls, said walls being absorbing on sidewalls oriented substantially perpendicular to the component surface, the transparent optical component configured so that a single image of an object is obtained when the object is viewed through the whole set of cells, the set of cells having a fill factor of between 90% and 99.5% inclusive parallel to said component surface.

Abstract
A transparent optical component (10) comprises at least one transparent set of cells (15) juxtaposed parallel to one surface of the component, each cell being separated by absorbing walls (18) parallel to the component surface, and each cell being hermetically sealed and containing at least one substance with an optical property. The optical component may be cut out along a predefined contour and optionally drilled. The invention also relates to a method of producing such an optical component and its use for the production of an optical element. The optical element may especially be a spectacle lens.
