OPTRAY EYEWEAR
Congratulations on your purchase of premium OPTRAY LCD sunglasses. These are the first active and fully automatic sunglasses with LCD technology, that don’t need any battery or maintenance. Your OPTRAY LCD sunglasses will work reliably for years without the need to charge or change batteries. (LCD: liquid crystal display)
Every pair of OPTRAY sunglasses bears the CE mark that represents compliance with European guidelines 89/686/EEC in connection with ISO 12312-1. All OPTRAY sunglasses are also in compliance with the US standard ANSI Z80.3 for nonprescription sunglasses and fashion eyewear.
How do the sunglasses work?
The OPTRAY Sunglasses darken to adapt to the brightness of your surroundings. Direct sunlight hitting the sensors is efficiently converted by the sensor into electricity, which darkens the LCD according to its intensity faster than 0.1 seconds. Plenty of sunlight, dark sunglasses, little sunlight, light sunglasses. The LCD darkens more at the top than at the bottom, creating a gentle darkening process to create the most comfortable wearing experience possible, adapted to the eye. The sensors work in the infrared spectrum of sunlight. If the infrared radiation is reduced by filters, e.g. on car windows, the LCD also darkens less.
| Filter category | Transmission | Description |
| 0 | 8o – 100% | Transparent or slightly tinted |
| I | 43 – 8o% | Light to medium filter |
| II | 18 – 43% | Dark universal filter |
| III | 8 – 18% | Very dark filter (high mountains) |
| IV | 3 – 8% | Extremely dark filter (glaciers). Not suitable for driving |
The fully automatic adjusting OPTRAY Sunglasses offer a transmission from 30% in bright state to 8% in fully dark state depending on the ambient sunlight.
