Tunable-focus liquid microlens array using dielectrophoretic effect.
A tunable-focus liquid microlens array based on dielectrophoretic effect was demonstrated. In a lens cell, two immiscible dielectric liquids but with different dielectric constants are sandwiched between electrodes. One electrode has a holed pattern while the other electrode is continuous. The applied voltage generates an inhomogeneous electric field near the hole regions. Owing to such an elec...
متن کاملTunable liquid-filled microlens array integrated with microfluidic network.
An elastomer-based tunable liquid-filled microlens array integrated on top of a microfluidic network is fabricated using soft lithographic techniques. The simultaneous control of the focal length of all the microlenses composing the elastomeric array is accomplished by pneumatically regulating the pressure of the microfluidic network. A focal length tuning range of hundreds of microns to severa...
متن کاملTunable-focus microlens arrays using nanosized polymer-dispersed liquid crystal droplets
A microlens array made of polymer/nanosized polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (nano-PDLC) is demonstrated. The polymer was first patterned into microlens array cavities on a planar substrate and the molded polymer cavities were filled with nano-PDLC material. The nano-PDLC-based microlens is optically transparent. The focal length of the microlens is electrically tunable and the response time is...
متن کاملTunable-focus microlens arrays on curved surfaces
We present a microlens array consisting of multiple liquid-based tunable-focus microlenses omnidirectionally fabricated on a hemisphere, resulting in large field of view. Polymer bridge structure is formed between microlenses to reduce the stress and deformation in each lens structure. Each microlens in the array is formed via a water-oil interface at its lens aperture. Photopatterned thermo-re...
متن کاملA new method for fabricating high density and large aperture ratio liquid microlens array.
Conventional liquid microlens arrays are facing bottlenecks in controlling droplet size and shape, and limited aperture ratio. We report a new liquid/solvent approach to overcome these obstacles for making uniform droplet array and achieving approximately 90% aperture ratio. The droplets are very stable due to the pinning effect of the polymer walls and substrate surfaces. Using the fabricated ...
