Scientists have created a contact lens with integrated display

Scientists from the University of Washington managed to create contact lenses with built-in micro display. It shows the image in the same way as in airplanes, the output data is shown on the cab’s windscreen. But in this case, the image appears in front of the eyeball.

The current prototype does not correct the user’s vision, but the technology allows to be added lens diopters. In the lens are embedded integrated circuits and LEDs. Scientists say that this display can be connected to the appropriate equipment using special cables or wi-fi.

The creators of this technology predict its great future and believe that it can be used anywhere - for drivers, employees, managers, traders and even just to increase the convenience of modern technology. They are proposed even to be used for a mobile phone screen or virtual reality. To ensure the energy supply of these contact lenses, researchers intend to use the energy produced be build-in solar panels.

Thanks to them traders will no longer need to stand in front of the screen because the graphics will always be with them right in front of their eyes.
