| Claim | An ophthalmic device for inclusion in an ophthalmic lens, the ophthalmic device comprising: three or more substrate layers comprising both passive and electronic components and mechanical components mounted thereto, wherein the substrate layers are each stacked upon one another such that they partially overlap by having at least one of the substrate layers out of alignment with another one of the substrate layers, and wherein the substrate layers stacked upon one another form a three-dimensional structure configured to match a profile of the ophthalmic lens, wherein the ophthalmic lens is selected from the group of a contact lens, an intraocular lens, an overlay lens, an ocular insert, or an optical insert; one or more electrical conductors interconnecting the components on the three or more substrate layers; and one or more mechanical structures configured for providing structural support for the three or more substrate layers to form a stacked integrated component device; wherein the stacked substrate layers are configured to be outside an optic zone of the ophthalmic lens. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic components comprise at least one power source. The ophthalmic device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one power source comprises a thin film solid state battery element. The ophthalmic device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one power source comprises an alkaline battery element. The ophthalmic device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one power source comprises a battery element formed about a conductive wire. The ophthalmic device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one power source comprise at least a chemical energy storage device. The ophthalmic device according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one power source comprise at least a capacitive energy storage device. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein the dimensional constraints of the one or more substrate layers are approximately rectilinear. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein the dimensional constraints of the one or more substrate layers comprise regions that are approximately curvilinear. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein the dimensional constraints of the one or more substrate layers comprise regions that are segments of a polygon. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate layers are stacked upon one another such that each of the substrate layers are out of alignment with one another. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the substrate layers include at least one of either the passive component or the electronic component. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the substrate layers include both the passive component and the electronic component. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more mechanical structures are further configured for providing structural support to each of the one or more substrate layers to form the stacked integrated component device. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more mechanical structures are further configured for providing structural support to each substrate layer out of alignment with another one of the substrate layers. The ophthalmic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more mechanical structures include alignment features allowing the substrate layers to be aligned relative to each other. An ophthalmic device for inclusion in an ophthalmic lens, the ophthalmic device comprising: three or more substrate layers comprising both passive and electronic components and mechanical components mounted thereto, wherein the substrate layers are each stacked upon one another such that they partially overlap by having at least one of the substrate layers out of alignment with another one of the substrate layers, and wherein the substrate layers stacked upon one another form a three-dimensional structure configured to match a profile of the ophthalmic lens, wherein the ophthalmic lens is selected from the group of a contact lens, an intraocular lens, an overlay lens, an ocular insert, or an optical insert; and one or more electrical conductors interconnecting the components on the three or more substrate layers; wherein the stacked substrate layers are configured to be outside an optic zone of the ophthalmic lens. The ophthalmic device according to claim 17 , further comprising: one or more mechanical structures configured for providing structural support for the one or more substrate layers to form a stacked integrated component device. |
