VARIABLE FOCUS LENS

摘要

The invention relates to variable focus lenses based on magneto wetting and related devices, wherein two fluids, one of which is magnetically susceptible, are in contact over a meniscus. The shape of the meniscus is controlled by means of an applied magnetic field gradient. The contact angle between the chamber wall and the meniscus is a conserved. Implementation of special shaping to the internal or external walls of the chamber, while conserving the contact angle, results in better lens shape in the variable focus lens and lower levels of lens distortion.
