Light Control System and Associated Methods

Abstract

A light control system including a lens may also include a first portion carried by the lens to filter a first polarized light, and a first central region within the first portion. The light control system may further include a second portion carried by the lens to filter a second polarized light, and a second central region within the second portion. The first portion may not substantially be in series with the second portion, and the first central region may not be substantially in series with the second central region.

That which is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A light control system comprising:
 a lens;   a first portion carried by said lens to filter a first polarized light;   a first central region within said first portion;   a second portion carried by said lens to filter a second polarized light; and   a second central region within said second portion;   said first portion not substantially in series with said second portion, and said first central region not substantially in series with said second central region.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said first portion lies in a first plane and said second portion lies in a second plane that is in spaced relation with the first plane. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2  wherein the first plane is curved and the second plane is substantially parallel to the first plane. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising another portion that is rotatably mounted with respect to said first portion. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one other portion carried by said lens to filter at least one other polarized light, and said at least one other portion not substantially in series with said first portion or said second portion. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5  wherein said first portion lies in a first plane and said second portion lies in a second plane that is in spaced relation with the first plane. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6  wherein the first plane is curved, and the second plane is substantially parallel to the first plane. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said first portion and said second portion lie on opposite sides of said lens; and wherein said first portion's light filtering mirrors said second portion's light filtering. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of lens; and wherein said first portion lies on one of the plurality of lens; and said second portion lies on another of the plurality of lens; and wherein said first portion's light filtering mirrors said second portion's light filtering. 
     
     
         10 . A method for light control comprising:
 positioning a first portion of a lens to not be substantially in series with a second portion;   filtering a first polarized light with the first portion; and   filtering a second polarized light with the second portion.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the first portion lies in a first curved plane and the second portion lies in parallel spaced relation with the first plane. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising:
 positioning the first portion to lie opposite the second portion on the lens; and 
 configuring the first portion's light filtering to mirror the second portion's light filtering. 
 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising rotatably mounting the first portion with respect to the second portion. 
     
     
         14 . A light control system comprising:
 a plurality of lens;   a first portion carried by one of said plurality of lens to filter a first polarized light;   a second portion carried by another of said plurality of lens to filter a second polarized light; and   said first portion's light filtering mirroring said second portion's light filtering.   
     
     
         15 . The light control system of  claim 14  further comprising an eyeglass-frame to carry said plurality of lens.
