Abstract

The invention discloses an electrowetting zoom lens based on ion liquid, comprising a cylindrical shell, a metal electrode, a transparent electrode, an insulating membrane, a hydrophobic membrane, a glass top cover, a glass bottom cover, conducting liquid and filling liquid, wherein the conducting liquid can be one or two or combination of a plurality of ion liquids. Beside having the advantages of general zoom liquid lenses, the electrowetting zoom lens based on ion liquid further has the advantages of lower voltage required for implementing focusing, capability of regulating focal length change range through changing the type of the ion liquid, capability of adapting to drastic change of external temperature, and extreme conditions, such as low temperature, high temperature and the like, capability of being applied to near-infrared imaging and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of micro-optics technology, and relates to a liquid electrowetting zoom lens using ionic liquid as a conductive liquid, in particular to a liquid electrowetting zoom lens that can be used under harsh conditions such as low temperature, high temperature, and vacuum, and can adapt to drastic changes in external environment temperature. A liquid zoom lens that can be used in both common imaging systems and near-infrared imaging. Background technique [0002] Zoom lenses play a very important role in optical systems. In recent years, with the development of optical communication technology and the increasing demand for portable camera devices, the demand for miniature zoom lenses has also increased. The micro-lens currently on the market is mainly a small traditional mechanical movement lens, which uses glass or plastic to obtain a small lens through injection molding, and then integrates the small lens into a position-a...
