Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for conforming a functionalized flexible planar film on an optical lens. The apparatus according to the invention may also be used in a process of functionalization of an optical lens. As a factor of the functionalization that one wishes to introduce into said optical lens and the nature of the functionalized flexible planar film used, the functionalization process is a process of gluing, transfer, or molding of a functionalized flexible planar film onto an optical lens. The implementation of each of these respective processes makes it possible to obtain a functionalized optical lens, said functionalization being adhered, transferred, or molded using a functionalized flexible planar film.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for forming a functionalized planar flexible film on an optical lens, another object of the invention is to bond, transfer or mold a functionalized planar flexible film by means of said forming device The final object of the present invention is to obtain a functionalized optical lens by bonding, transferring or molding a functionalized planar flexible film to the optical lens by means of said forming device.
