Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lens manufacturing, and in particular relates to an insulating liquid, a high-reliability liquid lens and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Liquid lenses have the characteristics of automatic focusing and rapid continuous zooming. Liquid lenses based on the principle of electrowetting usually include two immiscible liquids of equal density, namely conductive liquid and insulating liquid. The two phases of liquid remain in contact and form a meniscus-shaped interface. The shape of the liquid is controlled by applying voltage to cause the meniscus to change, thereby achieving variable focal length. Its zoom range is based on the refractive index difference between the conductive liquid and the insulating liquid. The greater the refractive index difference, the larger the zoom range. The refractive index range of the conductive liquid is ≥1.33, so high refractive index insulating liquid is usually selected to achieve a wide range of zoom for the liquid lens.
[0003] In certain specific application scenarios, liquid lenses need to be in a high-intensity exposure environment for a long time, but the existing liquid lenses have poor temperature and light resistance and cannot remain stable for a long time (≥90 days) in a high-temperature (≥90°C) and high-intensity exposure environment, resulting in failure. This is mainly because conventional high-refractive index insulating liquids have photochemical reaction properties. In a high-intensity long-term exposure environment, the high-refractive index insulating liquid undergoes a photochemical free radical polymerization reaction driven by photon energy, causing the structure to change, resulting in changes in the liquid-liquid / solid-liquid interface tension, which leads to the failure of the liquid lens after a long-term exposure environment, manifested as non-focusing and zooming.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop an insulating liquid with good light resistance to meet the needs of preparing high-reliability liquid lenses. Summary of the invention
