Abstract

This invention discloses methods and apparatus to form organic semiconductor transistors upon three-dimensionally formed insert devices. In some embodiments, the present invention includes incorporating the three-dimensional surfaces with organic semiconductor-based thin film transistors, electrical interconnects, and energization elements into an insert for incorporation into ophthalmic lenses. In some embodiments, the formed insert may be directly used as an ophthalmic device or incorporated into an ophthalmic device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of forming an ophthalmic device comprising:
depositing an organic semiconductor layer on a substrate;
dividing said substrate into a plurality of insert pieces, wherein each of said plurality of insert pieces comprises an organic semiconductor formed by the dividing of the organic semiconductor layer deposited on the substrate;
attaching at least one of the plurality of insert pieces onto an ophthalmic lens insert; and
forming an encapsu…
