Novel Adaptive Liquid Lens Actuated by Liquid Crystal Pistons

چکیده
We demonstrate a novel adaptive liquid lens actuated by liquid crystal (LC) pistons. The dielectrophoretic force generated by the embedded in-plane-switching electrode causes the reciprocating movement of LC droplets which, in turn, changes the optical power of the resultant liquid lens. Such a microlens array is promising for 3D image processing. Author

Adaptive liquid lens actuated by liquid crystal pistons.
An adaptive liquid lens actuated by liquid crystal (LC) pistons is demonstrated. It adopts fluid pressure introduced by the reciprocating movement of LC droplets to regulate the liquid-air interface which, in turn, changes the optical power of the resultant liquid lens. The competitive features are compact size, simple fabrication, good optical performance, reasonably fast response time and low...
متن کاملAdaptive liquid lens actuated by photo-polymer.
An adaptive liquid lens actuated by a photo-polymer is demonstrated. The lens cell consists of a top glass substrate and a bottom plastic slab with two holes: reservoir hole and lens hole, which are sealed with elastic membranes. A photo-sensitive polymer is attached to the membrane of the reservoir hole. Under blue light irradiation, the polymer is bent which exerts a pressure to regulate the ...
متن کاملLiquid-crystal intraocular adaptive lens with wireless control.
We present a prototype of an adaptive intraocular lens based on a modal liquid-crystal spatial phase modulator with wireless control. The modal corrector consists of a nematic liquid-crystal layer sandwiched between two glass substrates with transparent low- and high-ohmic electrodes, respectively. Adaptive correction of ocular aberrations is achieved by changing the amplitude and the frequency...
متن کاملDesign of polarization-insensitive multi-electrode GRIN lens with a blue-phase liquid crystal.
We report the design and simulation results of an adaptive GRIN lens based on multi-electrode addressed blue phase liquid crystal. A high dielectric constant layer helps to smoothen out the horizontal electric field and reduce the operating voltage. Such a GRIN lens is insensitive to polarization while keeping parabolic phase profile as the focal length changes.
