Professor Jelle De Smet of Ghent University has developed a spherical, curved LCD display which can be embedded in contact lenses and handle projected images using wireless technology. This is the first step towards “fully pixelated contact lens displays” with the same detail as a television screen. The technology could lead to a superimposed image projected onto the user’s normal view, similar to Google Glass but without the headgear. The lenses could also be used for medical purposes, including controlling light transmission toward the eye’s retina when an iris is damaged, or to display directions or texts from a smartphone.
