The inventor of the Dynamically Glare - blocking LCD Sunglasses
is Chris Mullin (PhD). He is a formerly local and industrialist. He has teamed
up with the University at Buffalo to develop sunglasses that detect bright
spots of light and darken specific parts of the lens to protect sunglasses
wearers from blinding glare. Glasses for glaucoma patients with sensitivity to
light would certainly benefit from Mullin's technology. The Dynamically Glare - blocking LCD Sun glass is the one of the owner of 2011 Invention awards.
Mullin is the creator and CEO of Dynamic Eye. It took Mullin
five years and five prototypes to get smaller the components. His first edition
is finished in 2003. This is included a circuit board tethered to a laptop that
processed incoming sensor information. The whole process takes about 50
milliseconds. The lenses of the glasses are actually liquid crystal display
(LCD) screens, able to creating dark acne that particularly target glaring
light.
The thought behind the plan sprung from the common
lack of functionality from most sunglasses. the price is $2 million incurred for the glasses. Mullin and Titus improved the speed at that the sensor was able to detect glare, at one purpose taking a prototype of the sunglasses to Buffalo's Delaware Park and testing them out on random park goers. The sunglasses aren't however prepared for the buyer market. Mullin plans to focus on sunglasses makers like Oakley, so anyone are going to be able to purchase Dynamic Eye shades inside a number of years. Glare reducing night glasses that use a special clear LCD developed by researchers at Kent State University is additionally in development.
