The invention relates to the technical field of
electrowetting self-adaptive optical elements, in particular to a regular
hexagonal prism multifunctional liquid optical element based on an
electrowetting effect, which comprises a regular
hexagonal prism cavity consisting of six side wall ITO (
indium tin oxide) glass electrodes, top cover plate glass is connected above the cavity, bottom plate conductive glass is connected below the cavity, and the bottom plate conductive glass is connected below the cavity. The end part of each side wall ITO
glass electrode extends out of the regular
hexagonal prism cavity and is used for applying
voltage, and the regular hexagonal
prism cavity is filled with non-polar liquid and conductive liquid which are immiscible with each other. The multiple electrodes provide higher
electric field control freedom degree, the regular hexagonal
prism multifunctional liquid optical element can be controlled to work in the mode of the adjustable lens and the
prism, multi-function integration of
zoom imaging and
light beam deflection can be achieved, multi-scene optical adjustment can be completed without additional optical elements, the equipment adaptability is remarkably improved, and the application range is wide. And the
geometric design of the regular hexagonal prism can solve the problem that a traditional cylindrical structure cannot be tightly packaged, and a foundation is laid for implementation of the
lens array.
