摘要
Electronic contact lenses are used for noninvasively monitoring vital human signs and medical parameters. However, maintaining a secure communications connection and a self-sustainable power source are still looming challenges. Herein, a proof-of-concept electronic contact lens is demonstrated that includes a spiral antenna with its wireless circuit unit for data telemetry, a rectifier circuit for power conditioning, and a micro-light-emitting diode (mu LED) as a load. The spiral antenna with its rectifying circuit is designed considering operation in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band of 2.4GHz. The spiral coil with an inner diameter of 10mm, an outer diameter of 12mm, and a wire width of 0.2mm is fabricated on a donut-shaped flexible polyimide substrate. For biocompatibility purposes, polyimide is used as the contact lens substrate and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used for encapsulation. A 3D-printed eye model is developed for accurately shaping the curvature of the PDMS-encapsulated contact lens. The reflection coefficient (S-11) of the fabricated antenna is tested in different conditions and on an eye model to mimic the liquid condition of the human eye. In a wide range of conditions, a minimum of -20dB reflection coefficient (S-11) is obtained.
