Google filed a patent for a sealed solid state battery to be deployed in their smart contact lens.
The electrodes and electrolyte are solid state films that are layered on top of one another to create a stacked structure disposed on a substrate. A polymeric sealant material is then applied over and around the battery stack and a moisture barrier is formed over the sealant material to thereby prevent moisture from reaching the battery. The battery is included within the smart contact lens. The sealant material protects the battery from tear fluids in the eye.
