摘要: A dielectric coating (210) is provided which has both a dielectric constant greater than 2.5 and a hydrophobic surface. The dielectric coating may be provided by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of organosilane, organosiloxane, organosilazane, organometallic, and/or hydrocarbon precursors. Methods are also provided for altering the contact angle of a liquid (250) in contact with the dielectric coating, e.g., for electrowetting applications.

摘要: The invention relates to an optical electrowetting device comprising a conductive fluid (5; 101) and a non-conductive fluid (4; 102), said fluids being non miscible, and an insulating substrate (2; 103) on which both fluids are in contact and form a triple interface, wherein the natural contact angle (105) of the non-conductive fluid (102) on the substrate (103) in presence of the conductive fluid (101) is comprised between 0° and about 20°. This device may be a variable focus liquid lens, an optical diaphragm, an optical zoom. The invention further relates to an apparatus such as a camera, a cell phone, an endoscope or a dental video camera, comprising said electrowetting device and a driver or electronic means for controlling the lens.

摘要: The invention relates to a variable-focus lens (60) for focussing light rays in light paths passing through the lens along an optical axis (Δ). The lens comprises an arrangement of first and second immiscible liquids (67, 68) that have different refractive indices and are in contact over a moveable refractive optical interface (69), a volume of gas (72) in contact with one of said liquids, and a retention measure (70, 74) for keeping the volume of gas away from the light paths of the light rays passing through the lens for focussing.
