With the continuous development of science and technology and the continuous deepening of research, people's work research and many fields of daily life have more and higher requirements on lenses, especially on focus-adjustable lenses.
As is well known, the focal length of a conventional lens is fixed, and thus, conventional zoom systems are combined by a plurality of single-focal-length lenses having different focal lengths, and require mechanical focusing. Such a zoom system has various disadvantages, such as complicated structure, complicated operation, high operation requirement, complicated manufacturing process, high cost, and further, it is unsatisfactory that the zoom range is limited, and the zoom requirement of various works cannot be satisfied, thereby greatly limiting the development and application thereof. The appearance of the electrically controlled zoom liquid crystal lens solves a plurality of problems of the traditional zoom lens or zoom system to a great extent. The electric control zoom liquid crystal lens utilizes the electro-optical effect (electric control birefringence effect) of liquid crystal, namely, the arrangement direction of liquid crystal molecules is changed by applying an electric field, so that the refractive index ne of corresponding extraordinary light is continuously changed to the refractive index no of the ordinary light, the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules in the box is controlled by voltage, the refractive index is changed, the focal length is correspondingly adjusted, and the purpose of realizing the function of the lens is achieved. Specifically, the liquid crystal has the crystal diversity, that is, when a light beam passes through the liquid crystal layer, the light beam is divided into two light beams with different polarization directions: and the light o and the light e, wherein the light o is ordinary light, and the light e is extraordinary light. When the o light propagates in the liquid crystal, the refractive index is constant no matter which direction the o light is directed to, and the e light just opposite to the o light vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the o light, so that the o light has different refractive indexes when propagating in different directions. Because of this, when an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal, the director of some liquid crystal molecules tends to be oriented along the direction of the electric field, so that the deflection angle of the director of the liquid crystal molecules will change with the change of the voltage, and the equivalent refractive indexes in the same direction will be different, thereby forming a gradient refractive index, and when the polarized light is incident, the polarized light will be converged or diverged. It is the combination of these characteristics that the liquid crystal lens has the function of electrically controlled zooming. In short, the liquid crystal molecules are turned under the action of the electric field, so that the polarized light passing through the lens is refracted to achieve the focusing effect, the electrically controlled zooming is realized, the zooming range can be controlled by the voltage, and the specific working principle is shown in fig. 5. The structure of the zoom lens is simpler and more miniaturized, the zoom lens is simple and easy to manufacture and low in cost, zooming is flexible, the zoom lens has multiple zoom levels, and zooming is more convenient, accurate and fine. The electric control zoom liquid crystal lens is also a research hotspot rapidly, is widely and abundantly applied and has replaced the traditional zoom lens in many fields.

The upper electrode 1 is a transparent ITO (Indium tin oxide, Indium zinc oxide) circular electrode that can be patterned by etching as needed. The ITO has the excellent characteristics of strong conductive capability, high transmittance and the like, has high transparency to visible light, has the transmittance of over 80 percent, and is particularly suitable for conductive electrodes of liquid crystal lenses; the lower electrode 2 is a commonly used round hole 7ITO circular electrode capable of providing a required electric field; the orientation layer is a PI (Polyimide) orientation layer laid along the cavity filled with the spherical liquid crystal 5, and can align the liquid crystal 5 molecules according to an arc-shaped columnar cavity or an actually required direction. The intrinsic liquid crystal 5 molecules are randomly oriented, so that an alignment layer needs to be added on the surface of the liquid crystal layer to make the initial orientations of the liquid crystal 5 molecules uniform. When no driving voltage is applied, the arrangement of the director of the liquid crystal 5 molecules tends to a preset direction so as to enable the initial free energy to be minimum, after external driving voltage is applied, the director of the liquid crystal 5 molecules turns along with an external electric field, so that the anchoring force on the surface of the liquid crystal 5 molecules is balanced with the action of the external electric field to keep the integral free energy to be minimum, and the help is provided for the subsequent voltage to change the deflection angle of the liquid crystal 5 molecules; the glass protective shell 4 comprises a glass protective shell 4 which is manufactured along the arc-shaped columnar cavity outside the whole columnar lens, the light transmittance of a glass material of the glass protective shell is quite high, and the glass protective shell can play a role in protecting the liquid crystal 5 and standardizing the shape of the whole lens and also can not generate large interference on incident light; the liquid crystal 5 adopts common nematic liquid crystal with stable and excellent performance; the voltage drive provides zoom voltage for the lens, the zoom voltage is connected with the upper electrode 1 and the lower electrode 2, and different voltages for changing the focal length of the lens can be provided by connecting the electrodes with an external drive circuit; the bottom lower electrode 2 central electrode round hole 7 is a round hole 7 opened at the central position of the lower electrode 2, and corresponds to the round hole 7 in the traditional flat lens lower electrode 2. The cross-sectional view and the perspective view of the liquid crystal 5 zoom lens are shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the principle of the liquid crystal 5 molecular refractive index ellipsoid, and fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the working principle of the liquid crystal lens of the present invention.
The utility model discloses the polarized light refraction focusing phenomenon behind the light jet-in liquid crystal 5 can explain with 5 refracting index ellipsoids of liquid crystal: as shown in fig. 4, the molecules of the liquid crystal 5 used in the present invention have a long rod-like molecular structure, and are materials with excellent positive single-axis photoelectric properties, and the molecules of the liquid crystal 5 have a property of changing the arrangement mode with the change of the electric field. Therefore, the liquid crystal zoom lens mainly utilizes the non-uniform electric field generated by the circular hole 7 electrode to enable the arrangement deflection angle of the liquid crystal 5 molecules to generate a gradient change, thereby enabling the refractive index of the liquid crystal 5 molecules to generate a gradient change and presenting a refractive index gradient distribution similar to a lens. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a liquid crystal 5 molecule refractive index ellipsoid, in which when light is incident on the liquid crystal 5 molecules along different directions, the refractive index is different, that is, when the deflection angle of the liquid crystal 5 molecules is changed, the obtained refractive index is different after the light is incident on the liquid crystal 5. When the polarization direction of the incident light is parallel to the long axis direction of the liquid crystal 5 molecules, the refractive index is ne(ii) a When the polarization direction of the incident light is perpendicular to the long axis direction of the liquid crystal 5 molecules, the refractive index is noWhen the angle between the polarization direction of the incident light and the long axis of the liquid crystal 5 molecules is theta, the refractive index is neff(θ),The expression is as follows:
Figure BDA0002357097180000061
wherein: in the formula no≤neff(θ)≤ne,neRepresents a refractive index when the polarization direction of incident light is parallel to the long axis direction of the liquid crystal 5 molecules; n isoIndicating the refractive index when the polarization direction of incident light is perpendicular to the long axis direction of the molecules of the liquid crystal 5; θ represents the angle between the polarization direction of the incident light and the long axis of the molecules of the liquid crystal 5.
From the above, it can be seen that the working schematic diagram of the liquid crystal zoom lens of the present invention is shown in fig. 4.
The utility model discloses a design of cavity is filled to arc column liquid crystal 5, then makes 5 molecules of liquid crystal carry out the alignment through PI orientation layer and arranges according to the shape of arc column cavity for 5 molecules of liquid crystal just have certain angle at initial condition, in short just carry out a preliminary treatment to 5 molecules of liquid crystal, make the initial condition of whole liquid crystal lens be equal to the state that 5 molecules of liquid crystal rotate certain angle when exerting a certain voltage of dull and stereotyped liquid crystal lens, its actual operating condition principle of liquid crystal zoom lens is as shown in figure 4: when no voltage is applied, the liquid crystal zoom lens has a focusing effect in an initial state due to the initial deflection angle of the molecules of the liquid crystal 5 when a beam of polarized light enters the liquid crystal lens because of the pretreatment of the arc-shaped cylindrical hollow shell; when an external voltage is applied, the liquid crystal 5 molecules subjected to preprocessing can be further deflected, so that a further zooming effect is realized on the basis of initial focusing, and the driving voltage and the response speed of the liquid crystal lens can be obviously reduced. The angle of the pretreatment can be changed according to the lens and the actual requirement, but the angle of the pretreatment is not too large, and the too large angle of the pretreatment can cause the focusing range of the whole lens to be seriously reduced, thereby greatly influencing the focusing function and the practicability of the liquid crystal lens. Because the preprocessing angle is too large, the liquid crystal 5 molecules in the liquid crystal lens are directly deflected at a large angle, and the space of the rotation angle of the liquid crystal 5 molecules which are regulated and controlled by voltage subsequently is reduced, so that the focusing range is reduced.
The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications which do not depart from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be equivalent replacement modes, and all are included in the scope of the present invention.
