DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The present invention allows a wearer to set glasses with his or her own creative design according to his or her fashion style or surrounding atmosphere and to apply various designs to glasses according to trends of glasses since minute differences of glasses make the wearer's feeling and look different. That is, the present invention enables the wearer to change shapes, forms or colors of glasses frames, temples and glass lenses of the glasses within a very short time regardless of place and time. Differently from glasses which are simply painted in one color, the present invention allows the wearer to change colors, patterns or chroma of the glasses frame or the temples to be changed gradually or to be changed with interruptions. Therefore, the present invention relates to glasses with a new concept which can show roles and effects suitable for the wearer's situations. Moreover, because the glasses according to the present invention are only one unique fashion glasses expressed by the wearer's creative design, the glasses according to the present invention may be widely accepted by consumers by significantly changing the concept of self-customized glasses.

Therefore, the self-customized glasses according to the present invention adopt structures that it is possible to assemble and disassemble components of the glasses and to change colors, shapes or patterns, and that it is possible to coat essential components of the glasses exposed to the outside with transparent micro LED display skins.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of self-customized glasses 2 according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 is an exploded plan sectional view of a lens connection head part 6 and a bridge part 10 which fix glass lenses 12 of the first preferred embodiment by magnetism.

The self-customized glasses 2 according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 are separable self-customized rimless glasses. That is, the self-customized glasses 2 according to the first preferred embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 are rimless glasses connected by magnetism without any glasses frame, and include right and left temples 4, right and left lens connection head parts 6 hinge-connected to the right and left temples 4, a bridge part 10 having nose pads 8 and connecting right and left lenses 12 with each other, and a pair of lenses 12. The components of the glasses can be assembled, disassembled, and fixed by magnetism.

The bridge part 10 includes magnetically attached groove parts 14 formed at right and left side walls thereof so that lenses 12 are inserted into the magnetically attached groove parts 14 to be fixed by magnetism, and magnets 15 buried in inner walls of the magnetically attached groove parts 14. Moreover, the right and left lens connection head parts 6 hinge-connected with the temples 4 include magnetically attached groove parts 16 formed at inner walls thereof so that outer portions of the right and left lenses 12 are inserted into the magnetically attached groove parts 16 to be fixed by electric power, and magnets 17 buried in inner walls of the magnetically attached groove parts 16.

FIG. 2 illustrates that the magnets 15 and 17 are buried in the inner walls of the magnetically attached groove parts 14 and 16, but they may be buried in the inner walls of front and rear opposite sides of the magnetically attached groove parts 14 and 16 or may be buried to the inner walls of the core parts of the magnetically attached groove parts 14 and 16. Furthermore, the magnets 15 and 17 may adopt a magnet fragment form or may adopt a form that magnet powder is mixed with resin if the bridge part 10 or the lens connection head parts 6 are made of a resin material.

FIG. 2 illustrates that each of the magnets 17 buried in the inner wall of the magnetically attached groove part 17 of the lens connection head part 6 is buried in the inner wall part of one side of the magnetically attached groove part 17 and the inner wall part of the core part (See FIG. 6), but if necessary, the magnet 17 may be buried in the front inner wall part of the magnetically attached groove part 17.

Right and left end portions of the lenses 12 are attached to the magnetically attached groove part 17 of the lens connection head part 6 and the magnetically attached groove part 14 of the bridge part 10 without support of the glasses frame. In order to achieve the above, magnetic members 18 for magnetic attachment are disposed at right and left end portions of the lens 12.

FIG. 2 illustrates transparent magnet films 18a as the magnetic members 18 disposed at the right and left end portions of the lens 12, and the transparent magnet films 18a extend vertically in a band shape.

The transparent magnet films 18a extended and coated vertically in the band shape may be cobalt-added titanium dioxide (Co:TiO₂) that cobalt atoms of several percent (%) having the magnetic property are added to titanium dioxide (TiO₂), and the cobalt-added titanium dioxide (Co:TiO₂) film does not lose magnetism not only at room temperature but also at high temperature and is almost transparent with respect to visible light. The transparent magnet films 18a made of (Co:TiO₂) is a ferromagnetic body at room temperature.

FIG. 3 illustrates magnetic members 18 disposed at right and left end portions of the lens 12. In FIG. 3, a plurality of magnets or a plurality of magnetic fragments 18b like metal cores are planted and arranged vertically.

Therefore, the lenses 12 are inserted and fixed between the lens connection head parts 6 of the temples 4 and the bridge part 10 by magnetism force so that the self-customized glasses 2 according to the present invention can be assembled without any glasses frame by magnetism.

FIG. 6(A) is a plan sectional view showing that the lenses 12 are inserted into the magnetically attached groove parts 16 of the lens connection head parts 6 of the temples 4 and are fixed by magnetism, and FIG. 6(B) is a plan sectional view showing that the lenses 12 are inserted into the magnetically attached groove parts 16 of the bridge part 10 and are fixed by magnetism.

FIG. 4 is a side sectional view of the self-customized glasses 2 that the transparent magnetic films 18a of the lenses 12 illustrated in FIG. 2 are fixed to the magnets 17 buried in the inner walls of the magnetically attached groove parts 16 of the lens connection head parts 6. FIG. 5 is a side sectional view of the self-customized glasses 2 that the magnetic fragments 18b of the lenses 12 illustrated in FIG. 2 are fixed to the magnets 17 buried in the inner walls of the magnetically attached groove parts 16 of the lens connection head parts 6.

In the first preferred embodiment described referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, magnetic attachment using the magnetic members 18 formed in the magnetically attached groove parts 16 and the lenses 12 is described. In a third preferred embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 14 to 17 as a modification, magnetic attachment using two magnets without the magnetic members 18 of the lenses 12 is described.

FIGS. 14 to 17 illustrate self-customized glasses 2 according to third and fourth preferred embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 14 is a perspective view of self-customized glasses according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view of essential parts of FIG. 14, FIG. 16 is a vertically sectional view of lens connection head parts 6 of FIG. 14, and FIG. 17 is a plan sectional view of the lens connection head parts 6 and a bridge part 10 of the self-customized glasses 2 according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Differently from the first preferred embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 6, the lenses 12 of the self-customized glasses 2 according to the third preferred embodiment do not have the magnetic members 18. Instead of the magnetic members 18, each of the lens connection head parts 6 includes a magnet fixing member 16a having a magnet 17 without the magnetically attached groove part 16, and the bridge part 10 includes a magnet fixing member 10a having a magnet 15 without the magnetically attached groove part 14.

Because the magnet fixing member 6a for the head part and the magnet fixing member 10a for the bridge part are made in an independent form, it is feared that they are lost. Therefore, if necessary, the magnet fixing member 6a for the head part and the magnet fixing member 10a for the bridge part may be suspended on the corresponding lens connection head part 6 and the corresponding bridge part 10 by elastic or nonelastic connection cords 62.

Therefore, in the self-customized glasses 2 according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention, an edge of one side of the lens 12 is supported and fixed by magnetism of the magnet 17 buried in the lens connection head part 6 and the magnet 17 of the magnet fixing member 6a for the head part, and an edge of the other side of the lens 12 is supported and fixed by magnetism of the magnet 15 buried in the bridge part 10 and the magnet 15 of the magnet fixing member 10a for the bridge part.

As described above referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, if the lenses 12 are inserted between the lens connection head parts 6 of the temples 4 and the bridge part 10 and are attached and fixed by magnetism, the wearer can adjust height of the lenses 12 according to the wearer's taste.

Because the lenses 12 are free from the glasses frame, the shape and form of the lenses may be varied, the wearer can freely select lenses 12 according to his or her individuality or surrounding environment or situations. That is, the wearer may select lenses in the same shape, size and color, but may select lenses in different shapes, sizes and colors, and freely assemble and disassemble the glasses components.

In the meantime, as shown in FIG. 7, transparent micro LED display skins 20 are coated on a surface portion exposed to the outside so that the wearer can freely express colors, patterns or designs on the temples 4, the lens connection head parts 6, the bridge part 10, and the outer circumferential portions, especially, upper and lower outer circumferences, of the lenses 12, which are essential parts of the self-customized glasses 2 according to the present invention.

FIG. 7 is a view showing a state where the transparent micro LED display skins 20 are coated on the outer surfaces of the glasses according to the present invention. For instance, the transparent micro LED display skins 20 are coated on the outer surfaces (side and upper portion) of the right and left temples 4, the outer surfaces (front and upper portions) of the right and left lens connection head parts 6, the outer surface (front and upper portions) of the bridge part 10, and outer circumferential surfaces (especially, upper and lower outer circumferential portions) of the right and left lenses 12.

Because the lenses 12 are independently and easily separable, the wearer can freely select sizes of the lenses and can apply different designs, colors or patterns to the right and left temples 4 having the right and left lens connection head parts 6 and the bridge part 10 to which the transparent micro LED display skins 20 are applied.

The micro LED display is a display that micro LED particles of 5 μm to 100 μm (1/100,000 cm) are stuck on a substrate, is suitable to implement a flexible screen or a rollable screen utilizing LED chips as pixels, is available for a long period of time since being less in power consumption than OLEDs, and is more excellent in intensity of illumination, chroma and power efficiency than the existing OLEDs.

Such a micro LED display is coated and attached to the surface part of the self-customized glasses 2, and includes a transparent substrate 22 having transparency and flexibility in order to show the intrinsic color of the self-customized glasses 2 as it is even though the micro LED display does not work, and micro LED pixels 26 of the micro LED chips having maximized transparency.

The micro LED display is formed in such a way that a semiconductor device layer 24 having the micro LED pixels 26 is planted in the transparent substrate 22 using micro transfer printing technique. In this instance, it is preferable to transfer and adhere more than 10,000 micro LED pixels 26 per second to the transparent substrate 22 using roll transfer technique of the transfer printing technique.

The micro LED pixels 26 are prepared on a native substrate and is transferred and printed on the transparent substrate 22, and then, the native substrate and unnecessary parts are removed.

In this embodiment, the transparent substrate 22 is transparent and/or soft. The transparent substrate 22 has one among thickness ranges of 5 to 10 μm, 5 to 50 μm, 50 to 100 μm, 100 to 200 μm, 200 to 500 μm, 0.5 to 1 mm, 1 to 5 mm, and 5 to 10 mm.

FIG. 8 is a view showing an example of the transparent micro LED display skin 20 applied to embodiments of the present invention. The semiconductor device layer 24 having the micro LED pixels 26 is adhered on the transparent substrate 22 having transparency and flexibility.

In FIG. 8, each of the micro LED pixels 26 of the semiconductor device layer 24 includes a biterminal layer 31, a transparent conductive layer 32, a transparent p-electrode layer 34, a p-GaN layer 36, an active layer 38, an n-GaN layer 40, and an upper transparent n-electrode layer 42. A transparent insulation layer 44 is formed between the micro LED pixels 26. The micro LED pixels 26 formed on the semiconductor layer 24 are p-n diode layers and compound semiconductors having band gaps corresponding to specific areas in a spectrum. In the example of the self-customized glasses according to the present invention, the micro LED pixels 26 are made of gallium nitride (GaN), which is a representative example of groups III to V nitride materials.

The transparent p-electrode layer 34 is to supply electric power and forms electrodes with oxide, such as Al, Ga, Ag, Sn, In, Zn, Co, Ni, and Au having more than 70% penetration ratio. The biterminal layer 90 becomes a circuit pattern, a bump, or a conductive adhesive layer, and the transparent n-electrode layer 42 has electrical conductivity. The biterminal layer 31 may be selected from silver and nickel groups reflexibility to visible spectrum and forms a latent reflective mirror layer.

Moreover, because the wearer can create designs on the lenses 12 and change colors and patterns of the glasses, the self-customized glasses according to the eighth and the tenth preferred embodiments of the present invention may be only one unique self-customized glasses to allow the wearer to create glasses of a new concept.

FIG. 35 is a perspective view showing an assembled state of self-customized glasses 2 according to an eighth preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 36 is an enlarged perspective view of self-customized glasses 2 according to the eighth preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 37 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 36.

Furthermore, FIG. 38 is a cross sectional view of the self-customized glasses 2 illustrated in FIG. 36, FIG. 39 is a vertical sectional view of the lens connection head part 6 of the self-customized glasses 2 according to the eighth preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 40 is a partially exploded view, in a plan section, of the lens connection head part 6 and the bridge part 10 of the self-customized glasses 2 according to the eighth preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The self-customized glasses 2 according to the eighth preferred embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 35 to 40 are disassemblable self-assembly type self-customized rimless glasses, and the transparent micro LED display skins 20 are coated on the lenses 12.

That is, the self-customized glasses 2 illustrated in FIGS. 35 to 40 are assembled by magnetism without any glasses frame and include right and left temples 4, right and left lens connection head parts 6 hinge-connected to the right and left temples 4, a bridge part 10 having nose pads 8 and connecting right and left lenses 12 with each other, and a pair of lenses 12. The components of the glasses can be assembled, disassembled, and fixed by magnetism.

As shown in FIGS. 35 to 38, a magnet fixing member 6a for the head part, in which a magnet 17 is buried, is disposed at the lens connection head part 6, in which a magnet 17 is buried, to form a pair with the lens connection head part 6. In addition, a magnet fixing member 10a for the bridge part, in which a magnet 15 is buried, is disposed at the bridge part 10, in which a magnet 15 is buried, to form a pair with the bridge part 10.

Because the magnet fixing member 6a for the head part connected with the temple 4 and the magnet fixing member 10a for the bridge part are made in an independent form, they are well attached and fixed to the magnet 17 buried in the lens connection head part 6 and the magnet 15 buried in the bridge part in pairs by magnetism. However, because it is feared that they are lost, if necessary, the magnet fixing member 6a for the head part and the magnet fixing member 10a for the bridge part may be connected by elastic or nonelastic connection cords 62.

Therefore, in the self-customized glasses 2 according to the third preferred embodiment of the present invention, an edge of one side of the lens 12 is supported and fixed by magnetism of the magnet 17 buried in the lens connection head part 6 and the magnet 17 of the magnet fixing member 6a for the head part, and an edge of the other side of the lens 12 is supported and fixed by magnetism of the magnet 15 buried in the bridge part 10 and the magnet 15 of the magnet fixing member 10a for the bridge part.

In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it has been described that fixation between the lens connection head parts 6 and the lenses 12 and fixation between the bridge part 10 and the lenses 12 are supported and fixed by magnetism, but the support and fixation may be achieved not only by magnetism but also by a forced fitting structure or a retaining structure.

The lenses 12 may be made of glass material, but it is good that the lenses 12 are made of plastic material for glasses, and may further include a scratch-resistant and fingerprint-resistant coated layer, and a hard coating layer having hardness to enhance scratch resistance.

In order to enhance scratch resistance by the magnetic fixation structure at the edge of the lens 2 according to the eighth preferred embodiment, a scratch preventive coating layer made of a urethane-like material may be formed on an inner contact surface of the lens connection head part 6 coming into contact with the lens 12 and an inner contact surface of the magnet fixing member 6a for the head part, or an inner contact surface of the bridge part 10 and an inner contact surface of the magnet fixing member 10a for the bridge part.

When the lenses 12 are located between the lens connection head parts 6 of the temples 4 and the bridge part 10 and are attached and fixed by magnetism, the wearer can adjust a vertical height of the lenses 12 according to the wearer's taste.

Because the lenses 12 are free from the glasses frame, the shape and form of the lenses may be varied, the wearer can freely select lenses 12 according to his or her individuality or surrounding environment or situations. That is, the wearer may select lenses in the same shape, size and color, but may select lenses in different shapes, sizes and colors, and freely assemble and disassemble the glasses components.

In other words, because the lenses 12 are free from the magnetically attached groove parts 16 and 14, shapes, forms and sizes of the lenses 12 may be formed differently at right and left sides as illustrated in FIGS. 36 and 37. Furthermore, the fixing positions on the lenses 12, namely, a magnetic fixing position between the lens connection head parts 6 and the magnet fixing members 6a for the head parts or a magnetic fixing position between the bridge part 10 and the magnet fixing members 10a for the bridge part can be arbitrarily set by the wearer as illustrated in FIGS. 36 to 38.

According to the present invention, the wearer can freely select the lenses 12 according to the wearer's individuality, ambient environment or situations, select shapes or sizes of the right and left lenses as the wearer wants, and form various colors, patterns or designs on the lenses 12 using the transparent micro LED display skins 20 while having the function of the glasses lenses. So, the self-customized glasses according to the present invention can show roles and effects that the wearer wants.

FIG. 41 is a view showing a state where the transparent micro LED display skins 20 are coated on the outer surface of the self-customized glasses according to the eighth preferred embodiment of the present invention. The transparent micro LED display skins 20 capable of displaying colors, patterns or designs are adhered on the right and left lenses 12.

Because the lenses 12 coated with the transparent micro LED display skins 20 are independently and easily separable, the wearer can freely select sizes of the right and left lenses and can be replaced with other lenses to which the transparent micro LED display skins 20 are not applied.

The micro LED display is a display that micro LED particles of 5 μm to 100 μm (1/100,000 cm) are stuck on a substrate, is suitable to implement a flexible screen or a rollable screen utilizing LED chips as pixels, is available for a long period of time since being less in power consumption than OLEDs, and is more excellent in intensity of illumination, chroma and power efficiency than the existing OLEDs.

Such a micro LED display is coated and attached to the surface part of the self-customized glasses 2, and includes a transparent substrate 22 having transparency and flexibility in order to show the intrinsic color of the self-customized glasses 2 as it is even though the micro LED display does not work, and micro LED pixels 26 of the micro LED chips having maximized transparency.

Moreover, since the pixels of the transparent micro LED display skins 20 coated on the lenses 12 are controlled to lower screen resolution and arranged, even though the transparent micro LED display skins 20 are operated to show a design or a shape, there is no problem in that the wearer keeps eyes forward.

Therefore, if the transparent micro LED display skins of the lenses 12 do not work, the lenses 12 are used as general glasses lenses 12, but if the transparent micro LED display skins 20 coated on the lenses 12 work, the self-customized glasses 2 can show various designs, colors or functions using the lenses 12, for instance, like sunglasses.
