OPTICAL DEFOCUS LENS AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING OPTICAL DEFOCUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18512526 titled 'OPTICAL DEFOCUS LENS AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING OPTICAL DEFOCUS

Simplified Explanation

The optical defocus lens described in the patent application consists of a first lens layer and at least one liquid crystal lens layer. The first lens layer can be concave, convex, or plano, while the liquid crystal lens layers have their refractive index controlled by an electric field to converge or diverge polarized light and form focal points.

  • The optical defocus lens includes a first lens layer and at least one liquid crystal lens layer.
  • The first lens layer can be concave, convex, or plano.
  • The refractive index of liquid crystal molecules in each liquid crystal lens layer is controlled by an electric field.
  • The lens layers converge or diverge polarized light to form focal points in different directions.

Potential Applications

The technology can be used in:

  • Camera lenses
  • Microscopes
  • Telescopes

Problems Solved

  • Correcting optical defocus
  • Improving image quality

Benefits

  • Enhanced focusing capabilities
  • Versatile applications

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Consumer electronics
  • Medical devices
  • Scientific instruments

Possible Prior Art

There are existing patents related to liquid crystal lenses and optical defocus correction, but none that combine these elements in the specific configuration described in this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does the electric field precisely control the refractive index of the liquid crystal molecules?

The patent application mentions the use of an electric field to control the refractive index of the liquid crystal molecules, but it does not provide detailed information on the mechanism behind this process.

What materials are used in the construction of the optical defocus lens?

The patent application describes the components of the lens but does not specify the exact materials used in its construction.


Original Abstract Submitted

An optical defocus lens includes: a first lens layer and at least one liquid crystal lens layer, where the first lens layer is a concave lens, a convex lens, or a plano lens, a refractive index of liquid crystal molecules in each of the at least one liquid crystal lens layer is controlled by an electric field, to converge or diverge polarized light that is incident to a direction of each liquid crystal lens layer to form a focal point; a first liquid crystal lens layer is configured to converge or diverge polarized light in a first direction to form a first focal point; and the first lens layer or a second liquid crystal lens layer is configured to converge or diverge polarized light in a second direction to form a second focal point.
