NEGATIVE OPTICAL POWER LIQUID LENS

Abstract:

A negative optical power electrowetting optical device is provided. The negative optical power electrowetting optical device includes: a non-conductive liquid having a refractive index; a conductive liquid having a second refractive index; and a dielectric surface in contact with both the conductive and non-conductive liquids. The refractive index of the non-conductive liquid is less than the second refractive index of the conductive liquid and wherein the conductive liquid is immiscible with the non-conductive liquid.
