Vehicle Camera Variable Lens Liquid Crystal Dynamics

The patent applies the dynamics principle by implementing a variable lens system that can dynamically adjust its focal distance based on different vehicle states and driving conditions. The lens transitions from a fixed focal length design to an adjustable one, allowing the optical system to adapt to varying requirements such as different object distances, lighting conditions, and driving modes, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and device complexity.

The patent employs parameter changes by modifying the focal distance parameter of the lens according to different operating conditions. The variable lens system enables continuous adjustment of the focal length parameter, allowing the camera to optimize image quality for various scenarios such as near-field and far-field imaging, thus improving adaptability while managing device complexity through controlled parameter variation.

The patent applies mechanics substitution by replacing traditional mechanical variable lens mechanisms with a liquid crystal-based optical system. Instead of using moving parts, gears, or motors to adjust focal length, the invention uses liquid crystal materials whose optical properties can be changed electrically, thereby achieving variable focal distance while simplifying the mechanical structure and improving ease of manufacture.

The patent utilizes phase transitions of liquid crystal materials to achieve focal length adjustment. By changing the phase state or molecular orientation of the liquid crystal through electrical control, the refractive index of the lens material changes, enabling focal distance variation without mechanical movement. This approach improves adaptability to driving scenarios while avoiding complex mechanical manufacturing.
