Abstract: Electrowetting optical devices can comprise a first electrode at least partially circumscribing a first optical window and a second electrode at least partially circumscribing a second optical window. The second optical window may be aligned with the first optical window in a direction of the optical axis. A central region may be defined by a projection of a footprint of the second optical window. An interface between a first liquid and a second liquid that may be disposed within a containment region may form a lens. In some embodiments, a thickness of a second dielectric portion at least partially circumscribing the central region may be greater than a thickness of a thirst dielectric portion within the central region. In some embodiments, a capacitance per area of the device upon application of a maximum operating voltage may be in a range from about 0.1 pF/mm2 to about 3.5 pF/mm2.

Abstract: A liquid lens including a first liquid comprising a polyfluoroaromatic compound represented by formula (I): Fx—(aromatic)—Y—R1. “x” is within a range of from 2 to 5. Y is one of CH2, Si(Alk)2, Ge(Alk)2, O, and S. “Alk” is a linear aliphatic chain. R1 is any organic group, but can be one of a linear aliphatic chain, a cycloaliphatic, a fluorocycloaliphatic, and an aromatic residue. “Aromatic” is any six carbon aromatic ring. Examples of the chemical compound represented by formula (I) include butylpentafluorobenzene; dimethylnonafluorohexylpentafluorophenylsilane; trimethylpentafluorophenylgennane; butoxypentafluorobenzene; cyclopentoxypentafluorobenzene; 1-n-octyloxypentafluorobenzene; cyclooctyloxypentafluorobenzene; 1-n-dodecyloxypentafluorobenzene; cyclopentylpentafluorophenylsulfide; phenoxypentafluorobenzene; 2,4-difluoroanisole; and heptafluoropentyloxypentafluorobenzene. The first liquid has a density in a range of from 0.95 g/mL to 1.35 g/mL (at 20° C.). The liquid lens further includes a second liquid that forms an interface with the first liquid. The second liquid can be substantially free of water.

Abstract: An electrowetting optical device is provided. The electrowetting optical device includes a first window, a second window, and a cavity disposed between the first window and the second window. The electrowetting optical device additionally includes a first liquid and a second liquid disposed within the cavity, the first liquid and the second liquid substantially immiscible with each other and having different refractive indices such that an interface between the first liquid and the second liquid defines a variable lens. The electrowetting optical device also includes a common electrode in electrical connection with the first liquid and a driving electrode disposed on a sidewall of the cavity and insulated from the first liquid and the second liquid by an insulating polymer dielectric layer. The insulating polymer dielectric layer may be formed using initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD).
