A Fully Integrated RF-Powered Contact Lens With a Single Element Display

Abstract: We present progress toward a wirelessly-powered active contact lens comprised of a transparent polymer substrate, loop antenna, power harvesting IC, and micro-LED. The fully integrated radio power harvesting and power management system was fabricated in a 0.13 μm CMOS process with a total die area of 0.2 mm(2). It utilizes a small on-chip capacitor for energy storage to light up a micro-LED pixel. We have demonstrated wireless power transfer at 10 cm distance using the custom IC and on-lens antenna.

“…[ 9,10 ] These systems are suitable for applications including environmentally friendly sensors, [ 11,12 ] wearable medical devices, [ 13,14 ] and temporary biomedical implants. [ 15,16 ] For example, contact lenses can be impregnated with electronics to improve visual acuity [ 17,18 ] or measure glucose levels in real time. [ 19 ] Dissolvable and elastomeric substrates allow conformal coating of sensor arrays with curvilinear organs such as the skin, eye, heart, and brain.…”

“…Two capacitive banks which are controlled by a digital block are also added to LC tank for tuning the oscillation frequency to the operation frequency band (868 MHz). The total estimated radiation efficiency of this antenna is 3% in free space [41]. Therefore, the estimated radiated power from the implant in free space is dBm according to the simulated AC power dissipation of 30 W in the LC tank.…”

“…Aside from power management, focusing issues and biocompatibility requirements, the main question arises, however, which display technology would be best suited for integration into a contact lens. A considerable amount of research has been performed by the group of B. Parviz into the integration and powering of micro-LEDs into a contact lens [1][2]. Although a single-pixel wireless contact lens display has been demonstrated, the emissive nature of the technology might hamper the development of a high resolution display due to its considerable power consumption.…”
