ColorLink(R) Announces New Patent Issued for Enhancing Vision.BOULDER, Colo. -- ColorLink, a leading supplier of polarization and color management optics, announced today that its US Patent No. 7,106,509 for a new technology used to enhance vision has been issued. ColorCorrect(R) looks to change the world of sunglasses. ColorCorrect(TM) consists of a retarder-film-based filter that is sandwiched between two polarizers. One version is a triple bandpass filter An electronic circuit that accepts a signal and filters out unwanted frequencies, allowing only a particular frequency or frequency range (band of frequencies) to reach the output side. that only allows the transmission of the three colors -- red, green, and blue -- which enhances color and contrast. ColorCorrect is ideally suited for improving vision in sports eyewear, sunglasses and ski goggles goggles, n the protective eyewear worn by dental personnel and patients during dental procedures. goggles see periocular leukotrichia. especially in low light and flat light conditions. The filter can be designed to enhance specific regions of the visible spectrum to improve vision performance for specific sports such as tennis, baseball, golf, etc. The ability to see, for example, a yellow tennis ball when tossed in the air or a white baseball on a cloudy day is dramatically improved by wearing ColorCorrect sunglasses. With other color enhancement technology such as dyes or rare earth elements, there are only a limited number of spectral designs that can be achieved. Essentially any spectral response The variable output of a light-sensitive device that is based on the color of the light it perceives. can be designed using ColorCorrect and it can be used to improve color vision deficiency Noun 1. color vision deficiency - genetic inability to distinguish differences in hue color blindness, colour blindness, colour vision deficiency dichromacy, dichromasy, dichromatism, dichromatopsia, dichromia - a deficiency of color vision in which the . The filter itself is made using polycarbonate A category of plastic materials used to make a myriad of products, including CDs and CD-ROMs. film which unlike rare earth doped glass is impact resistant. ColorLink looks to have this technology available to consumers in the next year.
