Abstract

Provided is a variable-focus optical lens system, comprising transparent elastic or flexible ion conductors, and a transparent or partly transparent dielectric elastomer film. The ion conductors and the dielectric elastomer film are combined according to sequence of the ion conductor / the dielectric elastomer film / the ion conductor, so as to form a sandwich structure. The invention also provides a corresponding preparation method. The variable-focus optical lens system is characterized by light weight, good performance, wide material selection, simple preparation process, and convenient business integration. The system is very fast in electric field response speed (theoretical response time is 1-10 ms), and large in operating temperature interval (-100 DEG C to 300 DEG C). The system has excellent mechanical, optical, and electric performance, uses all-solid-state design, and prevents defects of image distortion caused by gravity brought about by a liquid state imaging system, and potential leakage and short circuit risks, and has optical zooming capability superior to human eyes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical fields of materials, optics, electromechanics and soft machines, in particular to a variable-focus optical lens system and its preparation. Background technique [0002] Adjustable (zoom) optical lenses are widely used. Take the SLR camera as an example. Existing lenses are huge, bulky and expensive. Therefore, adjustable (zoom) optical elements (such as lenses) that do not rely on mechanical rotation mechanisms have always been concerned by technology and industry, especially in mobile devices (such as mobile phones, card cameras, etc.) and medical equipment ( Variable focus optics on space-compact devices such as endoscopes. [0003] Existing technical materials almost focus on the design of the zoom optical system on the solution that the liquid-filled (or liquid) optical unit changes the curvature or refractive index under external excitation (stimulus) to achieve zooming. This type of scheme has defects su...
