  • How to fix an ultrasonic variable-focus liquid crystal lens for substrate-mountable applications

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
    <jats:p>This paper proposed a board-mounted ultrasonic variable-focus liquid crystal (LC) lens. The lens controls the focus using the acoustic radiation force generated by the resonant flexural vibration mode. The LC lens was fixed to an aluminum substrate with a hole whose aperture corresponded to the inner diameter of the transducer. The part of the LC lens attached to the substrates functioned as a fixed condition, and the flexural vibration mode was successfully generated. The fixed lens exhibited a gradual focal change with current, confirming that fixing the condition affected the rate of focal change.</jats:p>

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
    <jats:p>Ultrasound multilayered variable-focus liquid crystal (LC) lenses have better optical performance compared to conventional ultrasound LC lenses. This paper investigates the effect of the distance between two LC layers on the optical characteristics of the lens. The LC molecular orientation in the lens was altered by the acoustic radiation force generated by the lens’ resonance flexural vibration mode, causing a change in the focal length. The focal length change was increased dramatically, and the electrical consumption was reduced in lenses with thinner interlayers.</jats:p>
